High-end streaming WALKMAN inherits the technology of the flagship model and has further evolved

■ZX series has inherited the technology of the flagship model and has achieved further evolution
We generously introduce the high-quality sound technology of the flagship that we have cultivated so far to achieve high sound quality that goes beyond the conventional ZX. An oxygen-free copper cutting block is used for the aluminum cutting casing and inside. Equipped with a large-capacity solid polymer capacitor in the FTCAP3 and main power source for further power enhancement. Furthermore, by inheriting various high-quality sound parts, such as using high-quality solder with gold added to the reflow solder parts, the clarity, expressiveness, spaciousness of the sound, and the strength of the bass have been further improved. We strived to create a sense of realism and presence as if you were listening to a live performance right in front of your eyes.

■ Equipped with high-performance full digital amplifier "S-Master HX" that supports high resolution playback (*1)
Supports DSD native playback (up to 11.2MHz) (*2) and linear PCM playback (up to 384kHz/32bit). In addition, the maximum practical output is 50mW + 50mW (16Ω) when unbalanced and 230mW + 230mW (16Ω) when balanced. Achieving high sound quality that maintains details from low volumes to high volumes, realistically reproducing the powerful bass energy and speed, as well as the delicate atmosphere. You can experience it with a thrilling sense of reality.
＊1 Invalid for wireless listening (when connected to Bluetooth (R))
＊2 Valid only when playing W. music with a wired connection. It is invalid when playing other than W.Music or when wireless listening (when connected via Bluetooth(R)). DSD native playback is supported only when connected to a balanced connection. When connected unbalanced, the playback is converted to linear PCM

■Capacitor FTCAP3 developed for WM1M2
FTCAP3 developed for WM1M2 is used as the bypass capacitor for the power supply of the audio block. FTCAP3 has further tuned the internal structure of the capacitor. Utilizing the development know-how of home stationary audio equipment, we have improved vibration resistance, resulting in improved sound clarity and expressiveness, as well as a wider sound field.

■Achieved both high rigidity and low impedance by cutting aluminum casing
The combination of a highly rigid cutting aluminum casing and an oxygen-free copper plate achieves significantly low impedance. Reproduces clear and powerful low frequencies.

■ Equipped with a "DSD remastering engine"
Equipped with a "DSD remastering engine" that converts all input PCM sound sources to DSD signals equivalent to 11.2MHz. Sony's unique algorithm converts all PCM sound sources to 11.2MHz equivalent DSD signals without losing the amount of information in the original data (*). It can be turned ON/OFF, so you can switch it according to your preference.
* Valid only when playing W. Music with a wired connection. It is invalid when playing other than W.Music or when wireless listening (when connected via Bluetooth(R)). DSD native playback is supported only when connected to a balanced connection. When connected unbalanced, the playback will be converted to linear PCM.
* "DSD Remastering Engine" can be turned on/off on the main unit. Ultimate"
Compatible with lossless sound sources, expanding 44.1kHz/16bit sound sources up to the equivalent of 192kHz/32bit
Using AI (artificial intelligence) technology that learns a huge amount of music data, it analyzes the music scene in real time and optimally upscales it to high resolution (*) high quality sound. Expand the bits and increase the sampling frequency to a maximum of 192kHz/32bit equivalent. Using AI technology, it automatically identifies songs and improves the reproduction of minute sounds. The evolution of the AI ​​algorithm has also improved the upscaling performance of CD-quality sound sources (44.1kHz and 48kHz/16bit). In addition to being connected via wire and using the W.Music app, it is also compatible when connecting wirelessly and using streaming services. You can enjoy any sound source with high-resolution (*) high-quality sound that reproduces minute sounds.
* When "DSEE Ultimate" is ON for both wired and wireless connections (expanded up to 192kHz/32bit). When connecting wirelessly (Bluetooth (R)) with the LDAC codec, playback is possible at up to 96kHz/24bit
