    Nice! Can you give me a link where you buy it in Hong Kong. Getting a version with no volume limited is very important. I got my NW-ZX 1 from Japan just for that reason.

    Thanks for the great review. Just want to double check on the usb out from Amazon Music HD. Does your Chord Mojo show it all coming in @ 192k 24bit? (That what it shows my HiBy R6 Pro) does Tidal show up @ 96k on the mojo. I sent mine back when I learned it wouldn’t output hi res via headphones. I take your point re sound quality and might try once again and not worry about the numbers. So would you kindly confirm what sample rates you see on your Mojo with Tidal and Amazon Music HD? Thanks v much m8

    If I only use 3.5 / 6.35 unbalanced output, what DAP would you recommend ? IMO, ZX507’s 3.5 port sounds really good, but there are probably better sounding DAPs ( for unbalanced outputs ) for the price.

    Thank you for this video. Sucks about the down-sampling from streaming music providers. Typical Sony. They make a POTENTIALLY terrific device and then hamper its use. Why put Android on it, that allows us to download great streaming apps (as opposed to the ZX300), and then not allow their fully ability to shine through? Seriously, what's their argument here? One quick Q - you said there's no down-sampling if you use the USB C port right? Meaning it would have to go to a DAC (like your BTR5) as that's a digital out?
