Storage
Storage is important. Even in this era of streaming music, you’d want to make sure you have enough space to store your amazing collection of music on your player. Imagine a long flight, it’s your offline files you’re going to be listening to.
Keeping your entire collection of Hi-Resolution music in one place is the most convenient way of carrying your music library. However, Hi-Resolution files are heavy. Most songs in a FLAC format can be about 100mb per track. So more space is always better.
Most players support both internal storage and expandable storage via an external memory card. Make sure you check both - the internal memory on players, and consider the maximum supported size of the expandable storage. It’s best to keep your library of offline files in expandable storage and use the internal storage for saving files from streaming apps.
At the time of writing this article, MicroSD cards for 256 GB were easily available and affordable for less than Rs. 2000. Higher capacity cards are also available, but that seems to be the sweet spot.

If you see a product marked as "⚖️ Balanced Output”, get ready for a symphony of crystal-clear tunes, free from any unwanted noise drama!
Sony is proud to introduce their all-new Digital Audio Player - the NW-ZX707, in their Walkman® series. It is a byproduct of the engineered evolution of portable sound. With the incredible sound quality of the NW-ZX707, which carries on the guiding principles of the Signature Walkman®, you can listen to your music wherever you are just as the artist intended.
The Sony NW-ZX707 is Wi-Fi® compatible for direct download and streaming. Supported by Android™ and compatible with Wi-Fi®, the NW-ZX707 offers even more ways to listen to your music. Enjoy your favourite streaming and music apps on your Walkman® NW-ZX707.

With 3x the bitrate of standard Bluetooth® technology, you can enjoy a superior listening experience for all your music. Connect wirelessly with Bluetooth, and you are ready to go with support for Bluetooth codecs like LDAC, aptX HD, aptX, AAC and SBC.
The NW-ZX707 features a cassette tape user interface and screensaver. The cassette tape visual that appears on your Walkman® display varies depending on the codec of the music.

An aluminium-alloy frame provides a highly rigid case that's resistive to electrical noise and other interference for stable, high-quality sound. The sound has a stimulating experience that gets you moving.
A bigger 8mm coil is employed as the L-C filter to provide the digital amp with the best-balanced output signal possible. By incorporating flat conductive wire, Sony has achieved lower distortion and lower resistance, which helps create an improved sound resolution across all frequencies.
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 an accurate sound that appears to rise from silence.
With longer 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.
Sony has incorporated high-end components in the NW-ZX707 for an enriching listening experience. It features 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.
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 design architecture contributes to clear, accurate bass response and soothing vocals.
The Sony NW-ZX707 hosts an FT CAP3 high polymer capacitor custom-made for Sony and tuned by Sony engineers. All "bypass" capacitors in the audio block power supply use the FT CAP3 design. Drawing on know-how cultivated in high-end home audio development, they help to improve audio expression and create a smoother sound with a "wider" sound space, more transparency, and tighter bass response.
Enjoy the large 5.0" (12.7cm) smooth & responsive touchscreen display that gives you more visibility and operability. You can also modify the built-in Walkman® Home Screen to meet your preferences. The touchscreen display makes it easier for you to navigate through your music library and adjust settings. It has all the information required, like battery status and much more.
Sony, with their NW-ZX707, has mastered unique sound processing technology to enable Hi-Res music playback. It features a DSD remastering engine that allows PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio to be resampled into an 11.2MHz, DSD (Direct Stream Digital) ultra-high-frequency 1-bit audio stream. There are now more ways to enjoy your music thanks to the single-bit stream provided by the DAC, which has a character that gives an analogue and organic flavour.
The DSEE Ultimate™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital audio files in real-time, using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence). The evolving algorithm now delivers additional benefits for CD-quality (16-bit 44.1/48kHz) lossless codec audio. Restoring acoustic subtleties and dynamic range provides a richer, more complete listening experience.
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.

3.5mm Port
The 3.5mm single-ended output is a standard audio connection that is compatible with a wide range of earphones and headphones. It is the standard port offered on most audio players.
4.4mm Port
Balanced output uses a different ground for each channel, which helps to reduce noise and unwanted interferences. This can lead to a cleaner and more detailed sound. Balanced output can deliver more power than single-ended output, which can be beneficial for high-impedance headphones.
Tactile Button Controls
The Sony NW-ZX707 has a variety of tactile button controls. These buttons are located on the right and are labelled appropriately so that you can operate the player with ease.
The Sony NW-ZX707 allows you to bring your music with you wherever you go. It's compact design and long-lasting battery make it an ideal companion for rediscovering your favourite tunes.

Customer Reviews
It's my first high res music player. The experience listening with this is extremely good. Sound is crystal clear.
Thank you for your awesome review!
Superb music 🎶 audio system
Thank you for the review! we appreciate it.
I've always loved Sony's sound and tuning and this fails to disappoint as well.
I was and still am very happy with my earlier NW-A46 but wanted streaming capabilities as well.
Really happy overall.
One thing to note is that when you insert an SD card it needs to be formatted on the device and kept as phone storage to enable seamless downloading/storage of tracks from streaming services (especially Spotify). i had to format the SD card to NTFS on the PC before it could be reformatted on the device to be used as phone storage.
Hey Harsh, thank you so much for the amazing feedback! It means a lot to us. We are so happy to hear that you are loving our products and services.
First audio player I purchased. So far happy with the product.
Thank you for the review! we appreciate it.
I struggled to keep my portable music listening on my phone to reduce the number of devices I have to carry around. But 2 main issues, battery life and storage. I pulled the plug and got a dedicated music player.
I was tempted to get a FiiO but listened to the review by Headphonezone of the Sony and was informed that the software experience is a lot smoother than other DAPs. That's a big must have along with access to all your streaming apps (requires the OEM to have signed Gapps and registered Play Services).
I have had android based DAPs in the past that didn't support the play store and didn't have play services available. installing APKs is not the best user experience and imo, not the safest option. The Sony has made it really easy to get my apps installed and ready to use! Sony's >decade of experience with smartphones and android shows in the final result on this player. Smooth with no hangs or stutters.
The Cassette Player screensaver looks really cool.
Build Quality -- Top Notch Build, Metal and Glass with the matte black finish and the Copper Accents for the headphone ports give the device the luxury feel to match the luxury price.
Battery Life -- Haven't measured this fully but current stats show ~8hrs left with 70% battery charge.
Sound Quality -- Was told that the sound quality is typical Sony (I don't know what that is). Compared to other listening the sound was warmer without the harshness that you usually hear in the Highs.
(Could be a combination with my IE600s, will test with my Sundara's soon)
I paired this DAP with my Sennheiser IE600s to begin with. I started my listening with the Headphonezone Rock Audiophile playlist (This was transferred from Spotify to Tidal using Soundiz) so I was able to get the Hi Res version of this playlist. My first impressions on listening to "Layla" (Eric Clapton, Live, Acoustic) were how pleasant the music sounded, there were no standout frequencies and I welcomed the sound stage with all its symphony. All the details were there. My big test for a new audio setup is the overdone "Hotel California" Live Acoustic version by The Eagles, a track that to me is the standard reference point for audiophile listening for the past 20yrs. Again, I enjoyed the balanced sound stage without the highs or lows shouting out to make their presence felt.
Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback. We'll share your thoughts with the brand as well. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice!
