with S-Master HX™ and DSEE-HX™ technologies

Enjoy jaw-dropping sound quality

Like going from standard definition to HD video, High-Resolution Audio tracks are far higher quality than MP3s and even CDs, letting you hear every breath, every drumbeat, every note. Even better, the S-Master HX™ all-digital amplifier reduces potential distortion, ensuring you always get the full listening experience recorded in the studio.

Your favorite songs, upgraded

In addition to playing studio-quality High-Resolution Audio, the NW-ZX2 Walkman® also improves the sound of all your existing music. DSEE HX™ restores lost detail to MP3s and other compressed music files, giving you back the full experience of the original recording, whether you listen to Dvorak or electronic music.

True to the original

Experience high quality playback of PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) converted content (DSD 64/DSD128) with the same warm sound of the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) original.

Humanize the vocals

The slow roll-off filter helps deliver sound that’s true to the warm sound of DSD.

Sharpen up the sound

The sharp roll-off filter lets you enjoy music with sharp impact and clarity.

Keep it on the level

Adjust the volume level of DSD to match that of PCM sources.

LDAC: High quality wireless listening

LDAC is a new audio technology from Sony that allows you to enjoy high quality wireless audio via Bluetooth. With 3x the data transmitted, LDAC provides an enhanced wireless listening experience for all your music.

Strong aluminum frame and rubber grip

An aluminum frame and rubber grip on the back make it easy to hold, filling the hand effortlessly.

Structurally sound

An aluminum alloy frame produces a highly rigid case that’s resistive to electrical noise and other interference for stable, high-quality sound.

The perfect fit

A small protrusion in the lower section of the rear panel makes it easy to hold the rubber grip on the rear panel fits comfortably in your hand for stable operability.

Hardware buttons

The play/pause, music-selection and volume buttons on the side panel are shaped and positioned for easy operation, even if the NW-ZX2 is in a pocket or handbag.

Powerful lows as pure as gold

The high stiffness and low contact resistance of the gold-plated copper chassis help produce clear and powerful sound in the low frequency range.

High transparency sound, unveiled

It’s the musical equivalent of having a veil removed from your ears. Two dedicated clock oscillations enable completely synchronized demodulation for pure, uncompromising sound.

Discover the potential within

A reinforced power line provides conductivity that’s more energy efficient and less susceptible to noise, for sound that feels more extensive and powerful.

Layers of quality

A double layer capacitor ensures signal accuracy

Hear it loud and clear

Seven OS-CON capacitors provide stable frequency characteristics and low noise.

More energy makes the difference

A large-capacity Li-ion battery offers transparent highs and powerful lows.

Elements to awaken every note

Higher resolution sound is achieved through carefully selected low-impedance parts including a thick copper foil main board.

Devised to reduce noise

Headphone output incorporates a large coil resistor for low distortion and low resistance.

Capitalize on the film condenser

A film condenser minimizes interference from vibration and electrical sources.

Pure material for pure sound

Tin solder of more than 99.99% purity is used to achieve a more natural frequency balance.

Very capable cable

A low-resistance OFC cable offers low distortion and superior channel separation.
