One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

The heart calmed down on this device, even he was surprised. For a couple of years, having used Fiio x5 iii, Sony NW A55, Sony NW A105, Fiio m11, Hiby R5 decided to switch to external amps. In addition to all kinds of "whistles" up to the "top" at the time of purchase, Lotoo S1 used full-fledged DACs with their own power supply from iFi and iBasso, but still came to the conclusion that the main smartphone as a source connected by wire to the trap is not convenient - periodic pickups from transceivers interfaces, loss of contact between devices and signal programs by players, fiddling with wires and killing the phone jack from these manipulations, the inability to fully make/receive calls, switched to the scenario transport + amplifier, and then decided to buy this player altogether. To my surprise, I got it successfully, the NW-ZX507 completely covered all portable needs, it does an excellent job with all my portable headphones, incl. and tight earbuds at 300 ohm, and with home Zenchs 660S sounds great It is not a noble thing to describe the sound, but for me the sound is engaging, without embellishments, often characteristic of the Sony players with which I was familiar, without scrupulous attention to the details of the recording, characteristic of many Chinese players, and as a result, this player turned out to be not particularly picky about the quality of phonograms, and even "terrible" live recordings sound acceptable. I was surprised that the player needs a significant warm-up, after 250-300 hours of operating time, the sound became even more dense and solid or something, the bass changed in it, the details became more noticeable The regular software player is good not only with the original "cassette" design, but also with a sufficient set of functions and settings, I tried to install the purchased USB Audio Player PRO under tidal, but eventually returned to the regular player for offline music and the regular tidal client, I noticed that the USB Audio Player PRO drains the battery faster, and there is no particular need for it due to the impossibility of connecting external DACs by wire

Pros
  • The player is extremely balanced, has a "minimalistic concept"
Cons
  • At first, the functions that are present by default in most of these devices were missing - it was impossible to hook it up as an external DAC and wired to a computer or via Bluetooth, the biggest drawback was the inability to use it as a transport with external DACs. But on the other hand, any smartphone can be transport today.
