Sony reveals the new NW-ZX707 and NW-A306 Walkman music players

Sony Malaysia has announced two new addition to its Walkman music players series: the NW-ZX707 and NW-A306; let’s take a quick look at them.

Featuring a large display, longer battery life, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity support, the new NW-ZX707 employs fine-tuned capacitors with large capacitance and low resistance, alongside an OFC milled block and a large 8mm coil for balanced output to offer enhanced sound resolution across all frequencies.

In addition, it is equipped with a DSD Remastering Engine which enables PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio to be resampled into an 11.2MHz DSD (Direct Stream Digital), providing extra options and support for a wide variety of less common formats audio files.

Moving on to the NW-A306, it is outfitted with a premium aluminum milled frame that has excellent rigidity for low impedance and clear, stable sound and solid bass, as well as a 3.6″ touchscreen and tactile physical music controls, all while weighing only 198g.

Furthermore, both the NW-ZX707 and NW-A306 adopt S-Master HX digital amp technology that is developed to be compatible with the native DSD format, which decreases distortion and noise across a wide range of frequencies.

In terms of battery life, the NW-ZX707 offers about 25 and 23 hours of playback for 44.1kHz FLAC and 96 kHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio, or 22 hours for full-on online streaming, while the NW-A306 provides 36, 32, and 26 hours respectively.
