Sony NW ZX507 & FiiO BTR5 ...Two of a kind 👍

[@billymoffat1976]

Keep the videos coming, enjoy listening to you talk about music gadgets.

[@Goodgrove]

Thanks

[@hellaslundblad]

Nice! Can you give me a link where you buy it in Hong Kong. Getting a version with no volume limited is very important. I got my NW-ZX 1 from Japan just for that reason.

[@andersonz8117]

I love btr5. It produced such a lovely sound.

[@Goodgrove]

you are right a great sounding gadget

[@jasonbhatnagar7134]

You can play hi-res from streaming after a software update that released may 2020

[@abuanwp]

Brother, are those sound modifications also works when you stream youtube or spotify? Thanks

[@davidesouza]

@02:14 Even though it is an Android device, does it not have a lockscreen?

[@5x22]

Lockscreen is available for the ZX507, he just disabled it

Bonjour - j'ai un SONY nw zx 507 et je ne trouve pas l'indicateur du nombre de musiques total enregistrées dans cet appareil. Pouvez-vous m'aider ? Merci.

[@jukumariiramuri1557]

awesome intro thanks for posting greetings from the super ancient megalithic city of TIAHUANAKU BOLIVIA🚦🚦🚦🚦🚦

[@Goodgrove]

great thanks for watching

[@yuminixy4620]

9:29 for the BTR5

[@devcapry5838]

good afternoon, it is worth buying this Sony 507 has good sound, its volume is powerful, thanks and regards

[@Goodgrove]

Yes definitely especially if you want the balanced output it sounds nice with Amazon HD

[@cleanerpath94]

battery life is trash, don't do it man. only gives you 9 hours and takes 5 hours to fully charge. disgraceful product

[@Silverbeardedsurfer]

@@cleanerpath94 So like a smartphone then? How will we cope?

[@d1n01988]

Hi, where do you bought it exactly in Hong Kong ? (Online) This EU Volume Limit is a total mess! lol

[@christopherbrew8119]

hi coolaid can you connect a portable amplifier to the sony ?i just bought this model i use a fiio monte blanc portable amp thanks

[@Goodgrove]

Yes you should be able to do that

[@christopherbrew8119]

@@Goodgrove thanks for your help how much better is the sound on the nx507 i have the nw-a55 and the unit quit reading my sd cards was bummed because i liked the sound quality on that unit. it is very hard to get one now

[@julesstanden6015]

Thanks for the great review. Just want to double check on the usb out from Amazon Music HD. Does your Chord Mojo show it all coming in @ 192k 24bit? (That what it shows my HiBy R6 Pro) does Tidal show up @ 96k on the mojo. I sent mine back when I learned it wouldn’t output hi res via headphones. I take your point re sound quality and might try once again and not worry about the numbers. So would you kindly confirm what sample rates you see on your Mojo with Tidal and Amazon Music HD? Thanks v much m8

[@Goodgrove]

i dony have Amazon HD but using my normal hires files it showed it as 192k 24bit

[@sumit55z]

Would like to see full review of btr5.

[@Goodgrove]

For sure its a great piece of kit

[@holycowkalabaw]

I almost buy this zx507 how is the sound quality compared to your previous DAps? Almst bought this one but because there's no review I didnt buy it. I now have the fiio m11 pro which im happy. Thanks for this review btw

[@Goodgrove]

i do like the sound a lot its detailed warm and has a nice slam bass i would not call it neutral..i am curious about the Fiio M11 i might get one to test

[@mjb6269]

Thank you for this video. Sucks about the down-sampling from streaming music providers. Typical Sony. They make a POTENTIALLY terrific device and then hamper its use. Why put Android on it, that allows us to download great streaming apps (as opposed to the ZX300), and then not allow their fully ability to shine through? Seriously, what's their argument here? One quick Q - you said there's no down-sampling if you use the USB C port right? Meaning it would have to go to a DAC (like your BTR5) as that's a digital out?

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

No comment

[@thethinker3888]

If I only use 3.5 / 6.35 unbalanced output, what DAP would you recommend ? IMO, ZX507’s 3.5 port sounds really good, but there are probably better sounding DAPs ( for unbalanced outputs ) for the price.

[@Goodgrove]

I would say buy the Sony NW A105 that is a very nice sounding player from the 3.5

[@jonahyue4755]

Can you control the volume on the player when paired with the BTR?

[@samarthasr]

Would you choose the BTR5 over the A55?

[@Goodgrove]

yes i would

[@smallfaihk]

@@Goodgrove in what you think BTR5 is better than A55?

[@yuminixy4620]

i have a question when you using btr5 using balanced output do you have heating issue?

[@yuminixy4620]

P.S. is it normal im using planar magnetic driver iem/cans Tin Hifi P1 and HD58x

[@directlinkrexx4409]

Can these power a 1000 ohm headphone

[@Piyushrahi]

Volume limit can be simply changed in the settings 🤣😂 Sony don't change such sound volume settings based on countries.

[@professorvoluck9311]

You couldn’t be more wrong.

[@chronometa]

How does the Sony connect to an amp?

[@SuperZedd]

Via USB-C port.

[@hmm2928]

What was that iem with 4.4mm?

[@Goodgrove]

that was my Sony mdr 1am2 headphones also had the Fiio F9 pro

[@onetwo6039]

I have the zx300, should I upgrade to this one even though i do not use music streaming services? 🤔

[@Goodgrove]

Do not upgrade no point really 👍

[@chalchagoloso]

Don't upgrade, if you are not going to use an streaming app, I have both and they sound the same

[@Name-km1rc]

👍✌️😊👍

[@shnbjss420]

Hello i hope you read this. Can i make this as a dac to my phone? Im using lgv30.

[@Goodgrove]

Not going to lie but the dac in the lg v30 is very good ..yes you but you can use this device as a standalone its just like your phone without the calling capabilities
