    Product Features:

    Upgraded components for an enhanced sound

    We've upgraded many of the internal components so that the ZX700 series now has components you’d expect from the highest-grade player, to give it a dramatic evolution in sound quality.

    Large solid high polymer capacitor

    Adopted as battery assist for the amplifier block, the newly developed large solid high polymer capacitor offers large capacitance and low resistance. Able to instantaneously supply large amounts of power, it can accurately output signals by preventing sudden falls in voltage. This contributes to clear, powerful and accurate bass sound, as well as clear vocals.

    FT CAP3 (High polymer capacitor)

    Custom-made for Sony and tuned by Sony engineers, FT CAP3 is adopted for all bypass capacitors in the audio block power supply. Drawing on know-how cultivated in high-end home audio development, they help to improve sound expression and create a smoother sound, with a wider sound space, more transparency, and tighter bass.

    Large coil for balanced output

    To supply the optimum balanced output signal from the digital amp, a larger, 8mm coil is used as the L-C filter. By incorporating flat conductive wire, we've achieved lower distortion and lower resistance, which creates an improved sound resolution across all frequencies.

    OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) milled block

    An OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) milled block covers the digital block, helping both to strengthen digital ground and improve noise shielding from digital block elements such as the application processor and memory devices. The result is a clearer sound that appears to rise up from silence.

    Faithful sound reproduction

    S-Master™ HX digital amp technology, independently developed for Walkman®, is compatible with the Native DSD format and supports balanced and high power output. It reduces distortion and noise across a wide range of frequencies, for rich and full-bodied sound, further enhanced by new high quality sound lead-free solder.

    Film Capacitors

    High quality film capacitors deliver voltage with a linear response across frequencies, resulting in reduced distortion and noise.

    High polymer capacitors

    The high polymer capacitors within the NW-ZX707 used to strengthen the power supply of the am unbalanced output, enhancing low-range reperformance for a more expansive listening experience.

    OFC Cable

    The low-resistance Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) cable is used for internal headphone connection, offering low distortion and superior channel separation.

    Optimized Circuit board Layout

    By dividing the Audio block (highlighted in red) and the Power/Digital block (in blue), the circuit board layout has been optimized to ensure sound quality is unaffected by digital interference.

    Balanced Connection

    The ZX700 series features a balanced single plug, designed for the Ø4.4mm balanced connection cable. This separates left and right sound signals, while minimizing signal transmission loss and resulting sound deterioration.

    Sound processing

    Our unique sound processing technology gives you more ways to enjoy more different types of music than ever before.

    Long battery life

    With a long battery life, you can immerse yourself in more of your music, with up to 25 Hours of 44.1kHz FLAC playback, up to 23 Hours of 96kHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback, or up to 22 hours with music apps.1

    Premium design

    The milled aluminum frame and clear 5.0" (diag.) screen give the ZX700 series an elegant feel, while remaining small enough to be completely portable.

    Distinctive rear section

    The inclusion of larger audio parts to enhance sound quality is evident in the distinctive rear section.

    Analog style

    The volume UI on the ZX700 series echoes classic analog design – a nice little detail to further enhance your listening enjoyment.

    Wi-Fi® compatible for direct download and music streaming

    Supported by Android™ and compatible with Wi-Fi®, the NW-ZX700 series offers you even more ways to listen to your music. Enjoy your favorite streaming and music apps right on your Walkman or connect to a PC to access your music collection.

    5.0" (diag.) display and Walkman® Home Screen

    Enjoy the large 5.0" (diag.) smooth and responsive touchscreen display that gives you more visibility and easier operability. The included Walkman® Home Screen can also be customized to suit your needs.

    Hi-Res Audio

    Take your digital music collection to another level with High-Resolution Audio. By capturing and reproducing digital audio at a higher rate than CD (24-bit/96kHz and beyond), High-Resolution Audio allows you to get closer to the original studio recording.

    DSD playback

    Supreme quality with 11.2MHz DSD native using balanced headphones and PCM 384kHz/32-bit support.

    Hi-Res Audio wireless

    Enjoy High-Resolution Audio quality without wires thanks to LDAC, our premium wireless codec. With 3x the bitrate of standard Bluetooth® technology, you can enjoy a superior listening experience for all your music.

    360 Reality Audio

    Immerse yourself in sound all around you. As real as if you were there at a live concert or with the artist recording in a studio. With 360 Reality Audio, music has never been so immersive and so real.

    USB Type-C™ port

    A USB Type-C™ port, compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1, offers fast music file transfer and charging, plus easy connectivity with a range of devices.

    Bluetooth® and aptX™ HD

    Connect wirelessly with Bluetooth and you’re ready to go. aptX™ HD audio compatibility is available.

    DSEE Ultimate

    Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Ultimate™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. And the evolving algorithm now delivers even greater benefits for CD-quality (16 bit 44.1/48kHz) lossless codec audio. Restoring acoustic subtleties and dynamic range, it provides a richer, more complete listening experience.

    Vinyl Processor

    Give the warmth and character of vinyl back to your digital tracks. Enjoy subtle reproduction of the low-frequency resonance, tone-arm resistance and surface noise to deliver an authentic listening experience.

    DC Phase Linearizer

    Our DC Phase Linearizer works to effectively replicate a wide variety of sonic signatures. It applies digital-signal processing to match the phase characteristics of various types of analog amplifier to deliver a purer, more analog-like sound. Choose from six phase character settings.

    Expandable storage

    With 64GB integrated memory and an SD card slot, the NW-ZX700 series lets you take even the biggest music collections on the go.

    Stunning new design

    An eye-catching rippled wave design covers the rear of the unit, which looks stylish and provides better grip.

    Cassette tape UI

    The ZX700 series features a special cassette tape user interface and screensaver. The cassette tape visual that appears on your Walkman® display varies depending on the codec of the music you’re listening to.

    I upgraded from F886, ZX700 sound great on both 3.5mm and 4.4mm headphone jack with my Shure se846. It would be great if the combability can improve with iPhone. Although, ZX700 is android based, can easily install streaming apps, I would appreciate if it can serve as DAC for iphone. I have tried the DAC mode with my iPad Pro with USB-C port, it work fine. Unfortunately, when I plug-in the lightning otg cable with my iPhone 13 Pro Max / iPhone 11 Pro Max, my iPhone showed that ZX700 uses too much power. I have look for any setting to solve this, seems no options for ZX700 not charging from the iPhone connected. I have asked the professional portable audio gear stores, some other clients have the same problem and cannot resolve. This combability issue is not purely Sony's problem, but I hope option for "not charging from connected device" would available when connected to iPhone as well, or some other ways to solve this problem in coming update.

    I purchased the DAP about two months ago and have enjoyed the Great Quality musical output Nirvaana that it creates!!. It is another great product by Sony. The only input that I have is I wish there were a bit more volume available - it seems it has been limited due to some Local requirements, however there should be an option to increase it. Also, the Equalizer could be better to be able to generate better Bass. However a wonderful piece of equipment. overall.

    I like all but one feature on this DAP. The sound volume is crippled without the high gain feature. With bluetooth headphones the volume is great. With wired headphones/earbuds the volume has to be at or near max to enable proper listening. I hope Sony will fix this with a future firmware update.

    Enjoyable & High Quality Music Player

    I am again grateful to Sony for releasing this product. It's an enjoyable experience. I had the NW ZX-507 previously but the larger screen & updated form factor of the NW-ZX707 make it feel like more than just an upgrade to that player but in a different class. Sound I do not use IEMs, I use headphones. I tried this with the Sony MDR-H600A (Wired to 4.4MM Balanced - Sounds great), the Sony MDR-Z7M2 (Wired to 4.4MM Balanced, these are 70MM - required about 90 on the volume but it works with this device). Master & Dynamic MW65's on Bluetooth. With all of those, this device sounds excellent. Tried a few genres, Jazz, vocal & EDM genres. I would like to see in a software update a few DSPs (or at least presets for the equalizer) Battery Life I can't imagine getting the full 20 hours, but in the 12 days since I've had this I haven't run out of battery during the day. What I have seen is that using the 3rd party music app (i.e. Youtube Music / Spotify) will use more battery than the stock music app. There is a setting to restrict background operations because if you install 3rd party apps then those could consume battery. Screen I like the screen when playing Youtube music, it looks good. You can't compare it to a phone because it has it's own look. Size It's a bigger/heavier device than a smartphone. Feels solid. Conclusion This is for someone who wants a dedicated music device & has a collection of HiRes music or uses a HiRes streaming service such as Qobuz. I personally have owned devices from other manufactures & would recommend Sony because it just works better. An example would be how a competitor's device's WiFI was slow because it did not work with 5G or how their bluetooth didn't have enough distance. These are things that just work correctly on the Sony players.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Great Sony signature sound. Sounds better than the ZX507 I was using previously, and battery lasts much longer. Even with the volume cap, it generally works very well with IER-M9 on balanced output. However, I use it on my daily commute, and on these commutes I need to turn the volume up to 100 because of traffic noise. Every now and then, the music will stop because it is time to sound the alarm about loud music. This is extremely annoying.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
