【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.
The ZX series inherits the technology of the flagship model and has evolved further.The high-quality sound technology of the flagship model that has been developed over the years has been generously applied to achieve high-quality sound that goes beyond the boundaries of the conventional ZX. An oxygen-free copper cutting block is used for the aluminum cutting casing and inside. Equipped with a large-capacity solid polymer capacitor in the FTCAP3 and main power source for further power enhancement. Furthermore, by inheriting various high-quality sound parts, such as using high-quality solder with gold added to the reflow solder parts, sound clarity, expressiveness, sound breadth, and bass power are further improved. did. We strived to create a sense of realism and presence, as if you were listening to a live performance right in front of your eyes.
Equipped with high-performance full digital amplifier "S-Master HX" compatible with high-resolution playback. Supports DSD native playback (up to 11.2MHz) and linear PCM playback (up to 384kHz/32bit). In addition, the maximum practical output is 50mW + 50mW (16Ω) when unbalanced and 230mW + 230mW (16Ω) when balanced. Achieving high sound quality that maintains details from low volumes to high volumes, realistically reproducing the powerful bass energy and speed, as well as the delicate atmosphere. You can experience it with a heart-pounding sense of reality.
Equipped with a DSD remastering engine, all PCM sound sources are converted to DSD signals equivalent to 11.2MHz using Sony's proprietary algorithm without losing the amount of information in the original data (*1). In addition, it is equipped with "DSEE Ultimate," which uses AI (artificial intelligence) technology that learns a huge amount of song data to analyze the scene of the song in real time and upscale it to optimal high-resolution (*2) high-quality sound. Expand the bits and increase the sampling frequency to a maximum of 192kHz/32bit equivalent. Using AI technology, it automatically identifies songs and improves the reproduction of minute sounds. In addition, the evolution of the AI algorithm has improved the upscaling performance of CD-quality sound sources (44.1kHz and 48kHz/16bit). In addition to being connected via wired connection or using the W.Music app, it is also compatible when connecting wirelessly or using a streaming service. You can enjoy all kinds of sound sources with high-resolution (*2) high-quality sound that reproduces minute sounds. *1 Valid only when playing W. Music with wired connection. It is invalid when playing other than W.Music or when wireless listening (when connected to Bluetooth(R)). DSD native playback when connected with balance
Only compatible. When connected unbalanced, playback is converted to linear PCM *2 When "DSEE Ultimate" is ON for both wired and wireless connections (expanded up to 192kHz/32bit). When connecting wirelessly (Bluetooth(R)) with LDAC codec, playback is possible at up to 96kHz/24bit * "DSD Remastering Engine" can be turned on/off on the main unit
By adopting a new platform, we have achieved power savings. In particular, power consumption during standby and when using music streaming services is greatly reduced. Continuous playback is possible for up to 25 hours when using the music playback app "W.Music" and up to 22 hours when using the music streaming service app (offline mode). As a dedicated music device, we pursue performance that allows for comfortable and long-term music playback.
Usability and a stylish new design that pursues comfort as a dedicated music device In pursuit of comfort as a dedicated music device, the adoption of a 5.0-inch display and a UI specialized for music playback make operations such as selecting songs smoother. It is now possible to What's more, the new, luxurious and stylish design allows you to enjoy high-quality sound even when you're out and about. Also, with Android (TM) 12.0 installed, you can download various apps from the Google Play (TM) store. It also supports high-resolution streaming, so even when using a streaming service that provides high-resolution music, you can play it with the high sound quality that only a dedicated music device can provide. You can enjoy the artist's breathing and the freshness of the instruments.
Balanced output completely separates left and right sounds, making it possible to output sound signals without going through the ground. It minimizes crosstalk (interference between left and right signals) that negatively affects the stereo feel, and reproduces delicate sound with low noise and low distortion.
