As far as I know both designs are from Sato-San.

Yup you're right - my bad.  Was thinking about someone else.

Love the design except for the too many side buttons! Also waiting this to be compared to LPG..

Indeed there are many, many buttons.

Is it me thats lagging.. or did  i see lagging in the touchscreen of a 3300$ dap? I have a 300$ phone that doesnt lagg at all (oneplus 1). I would not care much since its all about  soundquality. but for 3300 & i guess u could implemenbt a fairly good screen and/or processor? NOT trying to critisize here, just curious. Perhaps its about software optimisation?

Agreed, the UI seems very laggy. No way id buy this for 3K+ in this current state.

it is a pre production unit, U shall understand software engineer more, we do soemtimes quck rushed demos for our customers and sme screens have bugs

 

[thatonenoob]

Yes there are some aspects regarding UI, interface, and compatability that will need to be resolved. These are not production units being demoed (at least the ones I tried weren't).

I don't think that a ZX3 or other Android dap is coming

The NW-WM1A's specs and price point lead me to think that this is the NW-ZX2 replacement, but short of calling it NW-ZX3.

 

[gerelmx1986]

I don't care what OS it has, if it has streaming or not or what is called, I only kow I want one

Non-audiophiles being confused by audiophile-ism (and Sony)...

if my Z5 sound damn GREAT with a ZX100 cannot imagine with an 1A

 

[Soundsgoodtome]

The xba-a3 sounds fantastic with the zx1. I really think to fully experience the z1r, you'll need the walkman.

I bet they will sound even better with the wm1 series, have a recording with difficult to extract reverberation give the church and the organ, my XBA-A3 couldn't get the revreb at all, rendering it somehow dry... decided to test it with the Z5 nd was amused with the fact i could hear reverb from that particular recording (BWV 541 Tocatta ad fugue in G major from Hanssler Classic BACH edition "Heyday in weymar" Wolfgang Zerer i think the solist)

Quite sure they will, and they ought to for the upgrade price! Exciting times for Sony
