Hello Sony Lovers,
i think the ZX-507 deserves his own thread. I heard it and i love it - wonderful device with a rich and musicality sound.
What did you think?

I'd like to hear one, the circuit board looks like an upgraded ZX300.

I've heard lots of good stuff about it. Wonder how good it is compared it to the stock 1A

Sent my WM1Z in to be modded. I miss her...she's my only DAP. Been considering picking up a ZX507 to add to the arsenal.

I've listened to the ZX500, however it failed to impress me sonically, personally placing it just above the ZX300. I'm not a fan of Google's Android either with all it's baggage. Admittedly this was prior to the latest FW update which by all accounts has significantly improved the players audio output. Ultimately I just want my DAP to play high quality music which WM1A/Z serves up in spades. If I wanted a "smart player" think I'd be far more interested with the likes of the YLM W1 which potentially can do a lot more as long as the audio is where it needs to be. Q-6

Q-6 I'm of the same pedigree. All I've ever wanted were my files and a TOTL player. Android is a hard sell to me too. But I'm hoping Sony delivers a great experience as I've increasingly grown to like Qobuz a lot from my iPhone and iPad.

Personally I rather hope that Sony sticks with the current solution and continues to offer dedicated DAP's without all the issues Android brings. I just don't want another smart device to manage especially Android based as the OS is designed from the ground up to harvest user data. Linux (desktop) and or W10 I can live with as they can be tamed and can offer a lot more flexibility, admittedly more likely in a more transportable format than a DAP. Q-6

I'm really interested in getting the DMP-Z1, but I'm wondering how practical it is since I already have the TA-ZH1ES. It would be next to me in bed since I don't have much desk space. Putting it on top of the TA is probably not a good idea. And then using it in bed, I have a big brick next to me vs the 1A/1Z bricks I have. How much smaller is the ZX500 vs the 1Z/1A?? I think Japan has the ZX507? What the difference is with the ZX507, I have no idea.

I have a ZX 507 Japan Version and i really love it. As far as i know only the Japan Version has the High Gain Mode and is uncapped as well. I don't know if there are any sound differences for other regions but i will compare mine with my 1A this weekend :-)

I have the update on my Japanese 507.
Need to test the DSEE
But I can tell you as a Bluetooth user it’s great that the Sony eq works now.
Europe version is v quiet don’t buy it.
I had one twice - before I got my J version
