Yeah, also looking for @MrWalkman for any most recent and improved firmware update for the A45. He's been a great help but I don't seem to notice his presence lately

Anybody holding out for the ZS10 Pro X Ultra Max Premium? 🤣

KZ ZS10 PRO X is on the radar guys. Check out kz-audio.com

I know I'm late in this particular game about the AZ09 Pro but it must be said after holding out for a couple of years: this TWS works and I'm perfectly satisfied! Paired with my ZAX (and ZSX) it gives me a very pleasant listening experience. It checks all the boxes and though it is not APTX HD...

Amazing! Thank you again for this Yuletide gift @MrWalkman

We will always be here kabayan. Enjoy your journey. Ingat ka at pagpalain ka nawa.

Yes. No hiss at all. That's why I included all the elements of the audio combination for an exact reference. QC may be to blame for any variations.

Just want to share that I'm getting a very good auditory experience with this combo - ZAX, KZ APTX HD bluetooth cable, Apple Music lossless and Oppo A5 set to Audio APTX HD in developer options. No hiss, stable connectivity and, most importantly, rich, immersive music.

In this case, what audio settings/effects are at work when using BT? Is there a default? I did notice the difference using wired and BT. Also, I was quite surprised the A45 did not automatically change to aptx HD codec. You have to manually change the codec on the unit for the earphones and...

Yes. Read it very carefully. Will be experimenting and give feedbacks if there are any.

Anybody with suggestions to various EQ settings? Jazz, Rock, Pop. It would be much appreciated. Thank you.

And no matter how nervous I am whenever I do this sort of tinkering, MrWalkman makes it all a piece of cake! Succesfully installed! Thank you again!

Now on it! Thank you!

Hi MrWalkman. I can't seem to download the files from HERE. www.mrwalkman.ml is not loading and I'm just getting a THIS SITE CAN'T BE REACHED both on Chrome or Edge. And even the underlined READ MORE INFO is not clickable. Any other link for both? Thanks

Very well-written with nice images to boot. Kudos 👌

$2,199? I'll just get the Walkman A-100 40th anniversary if I'm just looking for a throwback DAP!

Very novel idea! Switch tuning on the fly. But hey, let's give @MrWalkman a break. Performing miracles can zap strength. Lol.

Methinks DMP-WM1 FEGHIJKLKMNO is more suitable. Lol! (and patiently waiting while listening to Oxygene Hi-res on A45 with Z+)

Head almost exploded in delight with the DMP-A40 FEv2 Plus in an Armand Van Helden FLAC track with DSEE HX on and equalizer on Excited setting. My new KZ ZAX iem immediately burned in! Lol! I've never heard my A-45 with this much power and clarity. Absolutely impressed.

And because @MrWalkman is a very patient and understanding teacher and I'm the type of student who will never give up and disappointCheers @MrWalkman! Here's one happy (and enlightened) dude. Thank you!!!

Here you go @MrWalkman. With the bluetooth on as you can see.

Hi again. I have another concern re BT receiver. I can't seem to pair it with my mobile phone (where my streaming apps are). I've tried adding audio device but it won't read each other's BT. The A45s BT Receiver is grayed out. Any tips on how to go about this? Thanks again

Thanks!

Was just taking a stroll around head-fi (I belong to a different thread group) until I chanced upon this walkman-related thread and @MrWalkman. I read everything that was being said and done here and it piqued my curiosity. So I dusted off my oft-ignored A-45 and gave the A40 FEv2 a go! Well...

Ok. After reading through all the convoluted ways to enjoy the ASX/ASF and reviews in and outside this thread, I'm sticking with the ZAX/ZSX (which I thoroughly enjoy). Until KZ's next Frankenstein's Monster 👹 LoL
