Product description Enjoy true DSD playback with the Sony NW-ZX300 Walkman Digital Music Player, offered here in a silver finish. This Walkman supports playback of DSD, AAC, WMA, FLAC, ALAC, and MP3 audio files. It features 64GB of internal flash memory and supports microSD cards. The NW-ZX300 also boasts a 3.1" TFT color LCD touchscreen with an 800 x 480 resolution. Its built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 30 hours of continuous audio playback on a full 5.5-hour charge.This Walkman utilizes several audiophile-friendly technologies, including support for 1-bit DSD playback up to 11.2 MHz, as well as DSEE HX upscaling. Sony's wireless codec, LDAC, delivers a higher bit rate than standard Bluetooth, so you can enjoy an enhanced listening experience with a compatible pair of wireless headphones. You can also pair the Walkman with other compatible devices over conventional Bluetooth with NFC. The NW-ZX300’s proprietary operating system works with Mac and Windows computers, and utilizes a simple drag-and-drop process for quickly moving songs from your computer library to the Walkman. Also, you can use the NW-ZX300 as a USB DAC, circumventing your computer’s sound card and achieving better sound in the process through the unit’s S-Master HX amplifier. - Hi-Resolution Amplifier
- Optimized for High-Resolution Audio, the S-Master HX amplifier reduces distortion and noise, allowing you to enjoy all the subtleties in your music.
- True DSD Playback and Support
- Enjoy sound quality higher than PCM, thanks to the Direct Stream Digital audio codec, designed specifically for high-resolution audio. This 1-bit format can deliver a more natural and detailed sound. The result is clear and crisp.
- DSEE HX Upscaling
- DSEE HX builds on Sony's proprietary DSEE technology, upscaling compressed audio files to a level that's closer to High-Resolution Audio. By restoring the subtleties of the original recording that are lost during the compression process, DSEE HX aims to deliver a rich, studio-quality audio experience for all your music.
- 4.4mm Balanced Connection
- In addition to the standard 3.5mm connection, the NW-ZX300 features a 4.4mm balanced plug, designed for Sony's balanced connection cable. This supplies compatible headphones with fully discrete left and right channels, unlike conventional headphones that share a ground wire. The result is better external noise suppression and improved stereo imaging, as well as more headroom for powerful sound delivery.
- Aluminum Milled Frame
- A rigid aluminum milled frame provides strong resistance to electrical noise, ensuring a clear, stable sound.
- Precision-Engineered Build
- The circuit board has been engineered for efficiency. The layout from the battery to the audio block minimizes the power loop, making the power supply stable. This results in a clear sound with solid low end. Other precision-engineered components include high-quality film capacitors for a linear response across frequency, lead-free solder on the circuit board and the S-Master HX chip (CXD-3778GF), resulting in an efficient electronic connection.
- USB DAC
- You can use this device as a USB DAC (digital-analog converter) by pairing it with a Mac or Windows PC. When connected and activated using the supplied USB cable, the unit replaces your computer's regular sound processing with its own hardware.
- MQA Support
- This device is fully compatible with MQA, furthering its functionality when it comes to lossless music.
- LDAC Transmission
- LDAC uses a conventional Bluetooth connection, but transfers at a maximum data transfer rate up to 990 kbps-approximately three times that of other audio profiles. The result is a wireless listening experience capable of streaming PCM files with high sample rates.
- Long Battery Life
- The NW-ZX300 holds enough charge for up to 30 hours of 128 kbps MP3 playback, or up to 26 hours of 96 kHz/32-bit FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback, so you don't have to worry about finding a charger when you're out and about.
- Matte Glass Screen
- A touch-sensitive matte glass screen allows smooth fingertip control with fewer fingerprints.
- Expandable Memory
- Want to store more music on your Walkman? Pop in a microSD card (available separately) for additional memory.
- Handy Buttons for Quick Control
- The play/pause, music selection, and volume buttons on the side panel are shaped and positioned for easy operation.
