If you already have a lovely TAZH1ES, you could always buy a 2nd hand ZX1 or ZX2 and stream using these as a transport! I sometimes (rarely) with my ZX1.

Thank you. Keeping it separate from my TA.

A Walkman and Sony iem.
I am in uk so don’t have access to full product range.

What about ZX300 with Sony IEM?

No problem, I'm in the UK too. Have no experience of the ZX300 so will let others chime in. Personally I'd wait for the September announcement before making a decision. If the ZX507 is something that would fit the bill, we in the UK probably wouldn't see it over here until March judging by previous years, but i could be wrong.

If I were you I'd get the N3 or the M7 if you're willing to shell out more money

I think the ZX300 is quite nice, but I would also suggest waiting out for a month and see what the ZX500 has to offer

Thank you. IFA announcement?
Yeah, it usually happens in early September so that's when we'll likely get info about their new DAP

I am wondering if the new form factor of the A100, at least in schematics it looks thicker, if it will be the first walkman in the lower range to offer a 4.4 Pentaconn jack.

That will be very interesting and welcoming. I am curious if the new players will be more powerful than the previous generations. That would be very cool.

Yes, please be slab looking (flat sides) like the ZX1 and 1A/Z and in silver with a powerful output!

Considering the 1A isn't supposed to be replaced this year the lack of Stock on Amazon UK and a 1-3 month delivery is a strange one.

Was about to say the exact same thing about the same form factor of the ZX1.

Nah, they all looked like that for the nw-a series. One thing is sure though - they have been releasing pretty much the exact some DAP in their entry-level tier for 3 years, so it's time to bring improvement if they want to remain relevant as the competition is bringing better and better hardware and software for less and less money.
