First impressions: sound is very full and livid through my Klipsch X10's (completely burned-in IEM's). With just 30 minutes of playtime.
I cannot fairly compare it to the ZX100 as I only recall the ZX100's sound from memory, but I remember not being as satisfied with the ZX100's SE sound after thirty minutes.

..the ZX100 needed burn in ..The difference with the ZX300 to me was it had a slightly better treble (ZX300) so it gives it a more airy sound better soundstage...But to my ears the ZX100 had the more articulate bass more impactful

No complaints about the bass on the ZX300 thus far. using source direct.

Same story as for all audio gear: different combinations of headphones and players and ears, different experiences

Help me Head-Fi Ka Nobi, you're my only hope:

Say I have a playlist from Tidal with 30 tracks (all 1 artist 1 album 1 track) imported to the Walkman via MediaGo - is there any way to remove these from showing up alongside all the other full albums/artists ie. stop clogging up the UI and keep playlist tracks ONLY in the playlist ?

I'm guessing the only workaround (I can see) is to use folder view ...

Anyone can direct me to a website where I can buy rubber output plugs?

There are a few on amazon jp, apparently it's from third party sellers, and I think they don't send internationally, if you got the japanese version, you get two pieces and a 4.4 and 3.5 plugs.

either get from taobao or amazonjp using a agent.

Hello,
I need your help to decide on my next DAP. The ZX300 seems to be very good, but is it comparable with the A&K AK70 MKII, the FiiO X5III or the Cowon Plenue R? which one do you think would be better from sound perspective? can I listen to files stored in a Synology NAS from the ZX300?
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any of those DAPs here in Belgium to compare them
Thank you for your help

Damn seeing some people returning the zx300 makes me wonder about this. I mean i certainly does look like a keeper, the question remains whether it sounds like a keeper!

Been testing my ZX300 for the last hour or so. And I am really impressed. Its exactly what I wanted, great sound in a smallish package and great usability with a great battery life(well I will have to find out). I tested pretty much everything I wanted and the biggest error I found is no decoding of MQA in the DAC mode, that can be changed. I am not big into MQA so its not a problem.

Some people like it, some don't, the SQ isn't to their liking, doesn't mean you won't like it, i like even though I do have the Zx2.

Seriously, for those who do not have it by now: it is much better looking in real-life than in pictures. Pictures cannot do it justice.

I agree it's a very well built nice looking dap. Plus it feels like it has some heft to it but isn't overly heavy. Good stuff.

I have zero requirement for streaming and also am an admirer of the battery life and would definitely give this a try.

if you love balanced out then it will be a keeper

Do you have hard to drive cans? If not I say definitely get this dap. It sounds better than 90% daps I've tried out of the SE output. Battery life is better than most and the UI while basic does the job. Streaming would be a plus but I have phone and ak70 for that.

You can always try to buy it at a place with a good/easy return policy, that way if you don't like it you can just return it.
