I know it has Android, but I am not sure if Android volume is capped by Sony's hardware or firmware. Only 50mW output in 3.5 mm jack... my FiiO x3 has 150mW
Hi, I am interested in buying a new Sony Walkman NW ZX500 (it will be available in November in Europe) for MQA support and TIDAL. However, I fear that European volume limitation (cap) will be included and no software fix is still available. I will use IEMs, but also full sized cans with standard 3.5mm jack. How was your experience with the NW ZX300? Can the volume cap be avoided using the 4.4 mm balanced audio output? Thanks
OK, I have read the ZX300 manual. After 20 h playback period, it beeps and stops if volume is above EU limits. So it is usable, I read that volume of EU walkmans was too low even for IEMs, and hacks to avoid this limit. Has it enough power to drive IEMs in 3.5mm audio output?
As said before, it only works on the zx300. if you are concern about the caps on the zx500, don't get the EU version.Thanks! I checked a web page showing hacks to remove volume limits of ZX300. It is called sonynwdesttool at rockbox.org This is why I had concerns about volume limitation in ZX300/ ZX500.
Hi.
Is the amp on this Sony Dap that weak?
Makes me wonder bout your concern.
The Msr7 isn't a heavy load. Should be load enough on average amps, even on 3.5 jack i think.
Run it on my V30 EU-Version and it's ear blowing. ^^
Is the V30 more powerful than such a dap?
I'm curios bout.
Hopefully.I wonder if the UK will be subject to the EU volume cap if they ever leave the EU. The UK might become a source for non-EU volume capped devices.
