    High-Resolution Audio delivers premium sound

    High-Resolution Audio delivers premium sound

    Experience digital music to the fullest with High-Resolution Audio. By capturing music at a higher rate than CD, increasing both audio samples per second and the bit-rate accuracy of each sample, High-Resolution Audio offers an uncompromised rendition of an artists’ music. Savour every breath and subtle movement for a truly emotional experience.

    S-Master HX digital amplifier: utmost sonic purity

    S-Master HX digital amplifier: utmost sonic purity

    Enjoy the best High-Resolution Audio experience with the S-Master HX digital amplifier. Using a simplified and fully digital signal path, S-Master HX reproduces the subtleties and wide frequency range of high resolution formats. Unlike conventional amplifiers, it maintains the digital signal until right before the speaker output, eliminating distortion — for High-Resolution Audio, just as the artist intended.

    DSEE HX restores your music files

    DSEE HX restores your music files

    Go beyond CD quality. DSEE HX builds on our proprietary DSEE technology, upscaling compressed audio files to a level that’s closer to High-Resolution Audio. By restoring the subtleties of the original recording that are lost during the compression process, DSEE HX delivers a rich, studio-quality audio experience for all your music.

    ClearAudio+ enriches your music

    ClearAudio+ enriches your music

    Unique to Sony, ClearAudio+ automatically adjusts sound settings for an enriching listening experience. By bringing together expertise in digital signal processing technologies, ClearAudio+ is able to optimise audio formats to deliver a consistently clear, high-quality sound, whatever music you’re into.

    Direct Stream Digital (DSD) playback for High-Resolution Audio 

    Direct Stream Digital (DSD) playback for High-Resolution Audio 

    Enjoy studio-quality sound, thanks to the Direct Stream Digital (DSD) audio codec — designed specifically for High-Resolution Audio. This 1-bit format utilises a stream of very high frequency 1s and 0s to recreate audio waveforms at a higher resolution than conventional codecs. The result is clearer, crisper, High-Resolution Audio quality.

    Highest quality Bluetooth streaming: LDAC

    Highest quality Bluetooth streaming: LDAC

    Developed by Sony, the Bluetooth LDAC codec takes your music streaming to a new level. It supports up to three times greater bitrate than typical Bluetooth streaming. 96kHz sampling rates and more efficient coding for CD-quality wireless sound. 

    High transparency sound by dedicated clock oscillators

    High transparency sound by dedicated clock oscillators

    Two dedicated clock oscillations, one for the sampling frequencies of 44.1kHz, 88.2kHz and 176.4kHz (CD/DSD), and the other for 48kHz, 96kHz and 192kHz, enable completely synchronized demodulation for sound purity and uncompromising results regardless of the digital content source.

    Components and materials for high quality 

    Components and materials for high quality 

    Low-impedance parts such as a thick copper foil (35µm) printed circuit board, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) cable, and high purity lead-free solder, contribute to pure sound. The LC (inductor-capacitor) filter for the headphone output incorporates a large coil resistor for low distortion and low resistance, while MELF type resistors and film capacitors reduce noise. Together these elements help to achieve the higher resolution sound of the NW-ZX2 Walkman.

    Multiple music formats

    The NW-ZX2 supports High-Resolution Audio formats as well as popular formats like MP3, WAV, AIFF, WMA, AAC, HE-ACC, FLAC, ALAC.
