The ZX300 promises a premium quality and audio experience in an immaculately designed music player with balanced output realised by S-Master HX and a user interface made for and by music lovers. Perfect for listening anywhere, its long battery life and slim thin and light design, this Walkman is the perfect companion to listen to all of your favourite music wherever you are. Premium sound experience The ZX300 offers Hi-Res Audio with S-Master HX digital amplifier, newly soldered with high quality sound lead-free solder balls.

2 playback 1 and 384kHz/32bit PCM playback, you can truly enjoy your music as the artist intended. The ZX300 also offers balanced standard connection with fully-discrete left and right channels for less noise and clearer sound. Walkman ZX300 and MDR-1A For the premium listening experience, the ZX300 incorporates an aluminium chassis for less resistance value. The FTCAP (Conductive Polymer Aluminium Solid Capacitors) and the new film capacitor are also incorporated for more transparent vocals and solid bass notes. After the success of the WM-1 Series, high quality sound tuning is key with this Walkman, OFC cables have been used for wiring the internal amplifier to the headphone jack which results in powerful sound quality by low resistance value and signal transmission without loss. For powerful bass and less noise, the double layer capacitor is the main battery power source in this Walkman. Two crystal oscillators are also utilised to deliver you high quality audio with improved SN ratio and large volume of music data. Separating audio and power/digital block on the circuit board, the SN ratio has been improved by minimising noise. The high quality audio resistor has been used as the LC filter for the headphone output to reduce magnetic distortion which results in expansive, high transparent sound quality. 1 Balanced connection required
