SONY Sony Walkman ZX Series NW-ZX707 64GB Black WALKMAN Portable Audio Player

[Product details]

A high-end streaming WALKMAN that inherits the technology of the flagship model and has evolved even further

◆ The ZX series inherits the technology of the flagship model and has evolved even further
We have spared no effort in utilizing the flagship high-quality sound technology we have cultivated up to now to achieve sound quality that goes beyond the boundaries of the conventional ZX.
The aluminum machined case and the interior are made of oxygen-free copper blocks. To further strengthen the power supply, FTCAP3 and large-capacity solid polymer capacitors are installed in the main power supply.
By inheriting various high-quality parts, such as using high-quality solder with gold added to the reflow soldering area, the sound transparency, expressiveness, sound spread, and bass power have been further improved.
We aimed for a realism and presence that would make you feel as if you were listening to a live performance right in front of you.

◆ Equipped with high-performance full digital amplifier "S-Master HX" compatible with high-resolution playback
*Not valid for wireless listening (when connected via Bluetooth)

◆Supports DSD native playback (up to 11.2MHz) and high output
Supports DSD native playback (up to 11.2MHz) and linear PCM playback (up to 384kHz/32bit).
Achieves a practical maximum output of 50mW + 50mW (16Ω) when connected unbalanced, and 230mW + 230mW (16Ω) when connected balanced.
It achieves high-quality sound that maintains detail from low to high volume, and realistically reproduces even the delicate atmosphere along with the powerful energy and speed of the bass.
*Only effective when playing W.Music with a wired connection.
It is ineffective when playing anything other than W.Music or when listening wirelessly (when connected via Bluetooth).
*DSD native playback is only supported with balanced connections. With unbalanced connections, playback will be converted to linear PCM.

◆ Equipped with "DSD remastering engine" and "DSEE Ultimate"
Equipped with a DSD remastering engine, Sony's unique algorithm converts all PCM audio sources into DSD signals equivalent to 11.2MHz without losing any information in the original data (※1).
The E-Music is equipped with "DSEE Ultimate," which uses AI (artificial intelligence) technology that has learned from vast amounts of music data to analyze the music scene in real time and optimally upscales it to high-resolution sound quality (※2).
The bits are expanded and the sampling frequency is increased, up to the equivalent of 192kHz/32bit.
By using AI technology, the song is automatically identified and the reproduction of subtle sounds is improved.
Thanks to the evolution of the AI ​​algorithm, upscaling performance for CD-quality audio sources (44.1kHz and 48kHz/16bit) has also been improved.
In addition to wired connection and using the W.Music app, it also supports wireless connection and streaming services.
You can enjoy any sound source with high-resolution (＊2) high-quality sound that reproduces even the subtlest sounds.
*1: Only valid when playing W.Music with a wired connection.
It is ineffective when playing anything other than W.Music or when listening wirelessly (when connected via Bluetooth).
DSD native playback is only supported with a balanced connection.
When using an unbalanced connection, conversion to linear PCM will be performed.
*2: When "DSEE Ultimate" is ON for both wired and wireless connections (expanded up to 192kHz/32bit).
When connected wirelessly (Bluetooth) with the LDAC codec, playback is possible at up to 96kHz/24bit
*The "DSD remastering engine" can be turned on/off on the device.

◆Improved battery life through adoption of new platform
By adopting a new platform, we have achieved power saving.
In particular, power consumption during standby and when using music streaming services is significantly reduced.
When using the music playback app "W.Music", the music playback time is up to 25 hours, and when using a music streaming service app (offline mode), the music playback time is up to 22 hours.
As a dedicated music device, we have pursued battery performance that enables comfortable, long-term music playback.
*Usage time varies depending on the settings.
This may be shorter depending on app usage.

◆ A stylish new design and usability that pursues comfort as a dedicated music device
In pursuit of comfort as a dedicated music device, the 5.0-inch display and UI specialized for music playback make it possible to perform operations such as selecting songs more smoothly.
The new, stylish, and luxurious design lets you enjoy high quality sound even when you're out and about.
It comes equipped with Android(TM) 12.0, and various apps can be downloaded from the Google Play(TM) store.
It also supports high-resolution streaming, so even when using streaming services that offer music in high-resolution quality, you can enjoy the high-quality sound that only a dedicated music device can provide.
You can enjoy the artist's breathing and the vividness of the instruments.
* A Wi-Fi environment is required to use some functions of this product. Varies depending on usage.
* To use the streaming function, you need to connect to Wi-Fi, and a home wireless LAN router environment or an environment where public wireless LAN services are available is required.
* A separate contract is required to use the paid wireless LAN service.
