Moonsand1FiiO M11 is just another chi-fi DAP with many competitions like HiBy, iBasso, etc more less offering the same thing.. And there's always Astell & Kern (Korean brand) which will beat all these with latest "of the shelf" chips & high specs.. But on the side of the spectrum, it's just Sony with its in-house chip, DAC, etc - where only its TOTL & newer models can beat ZX300...
Recently got this player (off joybuy for $333 (took 12 days for it to arrive in N. Texas from HK) (sorry Drop but your pricing on this unit is not competitive)) to replace my ZX1. Excellent sound with my EX800st/7550's. Phenomenal battery life. UI is snappy and intuitive. Wonderful EQ (if that's of interest). Overall, extremely happy.
Here in Australia I was lucky to get the 64GB one for a bit less than this drop is offering the 16GB. You can get a 64GB MicroSD for less than US$25, and a 256GB for around US$100.
I really like this DAP (Walkman). It looks, feels and more import all sounds really good. It does sound better than the Samsung S8 + Mojo combination. It drives all my earphones \ headphones well with the exception of the HD6xx. I use the Mojo for the HD6xx, it has more power. I don’t have balanced cables for the HD6xx, so I have not tested in balanced mode. Sony NW-ZX300 + Meze 99 match made in heaven.
Wow an impressive 16 GB storage. That's supposed to be an upgrade over 64 GB? How is that worth $99 more? Also, shouldn't it be 400 GB or greater for this price?
None572958Sure, that is cheaper (Joybuy has always been cheaper, when they were in stock, almost bought it from there myself until I had a friend actually going to china pick one up for me in person). But that is the 16GB china-only version (ZX300A, like in this Drop), I was replying to the OP who claimed this drop was $100 more than the higher storage US/EU 64GB version (ZX300). That's actually the cheapest I’ve seen it on Joybuy in a long time... I wonder if it is to offset tariffs and maybe higher customs fees.
And yes, since this site became popular (prior to the name change), they became under more scrutiny from manufacturers and other dealers. Feel free to make your own assumptions ”why, ” but Drop’s prices are now usually on par with the average market price instead of undercutting it. It's the trade-off they made to be able to do manufacturer collaborations and be able to get some goods in consistent supply, have faster shipping times.
Wether you keep shopping at Drop or not is up to you. I never just shop at one store, but I keep finding reasons to come back here from time to time.
