Sony Walkman NW-ZX1 any opinions? Which portable amp would work well with it?
Anaxilus:
The Z2 is better than the Z1, but that wasn't the original question. So 'what it's worth' is different things to different people. Is it the absolutely best sounding thing in portable audio? No. Is it bestest enough for someone with big pockets that wants an all-in-one? Maybe. The best DAP I've heard that's on my radar is the Questyle which is competitive with rig and does one or two things better. I haven't heard a production unit yet but for the money I'd look there before the Sony, Colorfly or AK rigs.
Hawaiiancerveza:
The Questyle you mentioned. Whats the name of the DAP you're talking about? I'm on this site but haven't found any info on any DAP. http://en.questyleaudio.com/product
I found this. Is it the QP1?
http://www.stereophile.com/content/questyle-qp1-and-qp1-pro-portable-players
I found two models:
The QP1 is $599 and the QP1 Pro is $899
Other info I found:
The $599 QP1 and $899 QP1R, described as portable music server/digital audio players, are expected to ship in late April. They combine the company’s current-mode headphone amp technology with a high-end DAC and high-resolution music-file decoding. The players deliver native decoding of 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz DSD along with decoding of WAV, FLAC, AIFF and PCM files up to 192kHz/24 bits. Other decoders include MP3, WMA, and Ogg Vorbis. Both models feature 16GB and 32GB, respectively, of on-board storage, but each also features dual 256GB Micro SD Card slots. Both players also feature optical output, LCD display, 8- to 10-hour 3000mAh battery, and aluminum-and-glass finish in either champagne gold or space gray.- See more at: http://www.twice.com/news/audio/questyle-adding-high-resolution-music-portables/56555#.VRXWc9zazeo.twitter
Is there going to be a pre-order soon? Mid April....

The QP1 Pro was changed to the QP1R (Reference). We are in the process of switching servers and putting up a new website, the QP1 has only just been added, as up until now it was only a prototype. The QP1 has 16GB internal while the QP1R has 32GB, only 128GB Micro SD cards have been tested, but 256GB cards will probably work. The rest appears to be correct. It is probably worth noting that we process DSD as DSD and PCM as PCM, no cross conversion takes place as to do so would be to add the deficiencies of both systems together.
