Sony today announced two new music players, the NW-ZX707, and the NW-A306 to the Walkman series family. Both players are designed for listeners to enjoy music the way the artist intended with high-quality sound with a sleek design.
Built with updated components of high-end models, the NW-ZX707 offers astonishing sound quality. With enhanced battery life, balanced connection, a larger 5” display, Wi-Fi compatibility for easy downloading and streaming functions, portable, and stylish.
Inheriting the philosophy of the Signature Walkman, the NW-ZX707 has upgraded fine-tuned capacitors and a FTCAP3 (High polymer capacitor) and a large solid high polymer capacitor which offers large capacitance and low resistance.
While an OFC milled block covering the digital block, allows the NW-ZX707 to bring listeners sound that appears to rise- up from silence. Additionally, a large 8mm coil for balanced output creates an improved sound resolution across all frequencies.
All four kinds of components stated here are also used in the latest Signature Walkman model.
NW-ZX707 integrates a DSD Remastering Engine where PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio is resampled into an 11.2 MHz DSD (Direct Stream Digital), offering even more ways to enjoy music.
This stylish and compact music player lets you download and stream more of the music you love. With full Wi-Fi compatibility and weighing just 7 ounces and with the comfort and function of both a 3.6” touch screen and tactile physical music controls, the NW-A306 series is dedicated to delivering exceptional music experiences right from the users’ pocket.
The premium aluminium milled frame on the NW-A306 provides superior rigidity for low impedance and clear, stable sound and solid bass.
S-Master HX digital amp technology, independently developed for Walkman is compatible with the native DSD format. It reduces distortion and noise across a wide range of frequencies, for rich and full-bodied sound, further enhanced by new high-quality sound lead free solder.
Just like the latest Signature Walkman model, both models apply a reflow solder containing gold, whose effect is significant in the overall improved sound localisation and wider sound space.
To realise both music players’ evolutionary sound, a dual clock, film capacitor and fine sound register have been precisely placed within each Walkman.
The NW-ZX707 and the NW-A306 both use Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Ultimate (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) which upscales compressed digital music files in real time. The evolving algorithm now delivers even greater 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.
With further progress from its predecessor models, consumers can enjoy DSEE Ultimate for upscaling their music, whether it is Wi-Fi streamed or downloaded. Now you can also enjoy DSEE Ultimate with wireless headphones.
The NW-ZX707 has a battery life of up to 25 hours 1 of 44.1kHz FLAC playback, up to 23 hours 1 of 96 kHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback, or up to 22 hours 2 even when streaming.
The NW-A306 has a battery life of up to 36 hours 1 of 44.1kHz FLAC playback, up to 32 hours 1 of 96kHz FLAC high resolution audio playback, or even up to 26 hours 2 with the streaming service apps.
No plastic is used in the packaging material for the NW-ZX707 and the NW-A306, reflecting Sony’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of our products and practices.
