Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Listen for an improved sound stage. More details and emotions in each tonal body. Clear bass is the only eq i use with the beyer's and it works very well.

Key differentiator for the device from other hires players is android. The usb cord is product specific with its own unique connector. The os offers flexibility of apps.

The best file below that is 1411/kpbs (cd quality) to 16bit/44. No regrets about purchasing this for mostly spotify use. I have a htc one (m7), a samsung galaxy note 2 lte, and a sony xperia z3. I also have a garmin monterra outdoor gps, all running a... Read More

It drives my es5 every easily and is less fatiguing. I am averaging about 30 hrs with mixed mp3/flac/dsd playing which is great. Battery lasts over a week if listen to music few hrs a day.

Cons

It's forgivable for a cell-phone that is designed to be replaced every 2 years, but in a $1,000+ device that is not tied to a contract is disgraceful. It is a glorified hard drive.

Quality

As expected, the sound quality is exceptional.

Clear bass is the only eq i use with the beyer's and it works very well.

What i would've liked:native dsd playback, not because i know how good the quality is but was hoping to finally get to get a taste of it.

On wifi for example, you can play tracks from tidal hifi (cd quality).

Price

Buying a proper flip case is going to cost me $150!

Considering that, i thought the zx2 was a good device for it's cost.

Packaging/appearance

Anytime you want to change an album or access your collection you have to pull the player out of the case and then turn on the screen.

Competitiveness

I have owned other bricks like the fiio x5 but the zx2 feels much classier and easier to hold.

I have owned other high end dap's and this is by far one of the best.

I just received this today and hooked it up to sony's mdr 1abt phones.

Not saying it's cheap but compared with other high-end dap, i thought it was pretty competitive.
