High-End Components
Built with high-end components you'd expect to find in a top of the range sound system, the ZX900 is the next phase in portable sound fidelity.
Sound Processing
Sony's unique sound processing technology is key to bringing the subtlest details of your music to life, delivering impeccable sound regardless of genre or style.
Premium Design
A milled aluminum frame and clear 5.0” display in a sleek, portable, and elegantly simple design.
Premium Components for Exceptional Sound
Featuring a range of premium-grade audio components, the ZX900 brings flagship-inspired sound performance to every listening session.
Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Rear Chassis
The OFC rear chassis provides an impressive foundation for stable, premium quality sound, and resistance from noise and interference. Enjoy clear, powerful bass, an expansive soundstage, and detailed mid to treble frequencies for a beautiful, lingering resonance.
Milled Aluminum Frame
An aluminum alloy frame provides a highly rigid case that's resistant to electrical noise and other interference for stable, high-quality sound.
Faithful Sound Reproduction
S-Master™ HX digital amp technology, independently developed for Walkman®, is compatible with the Native DSD format, and supports balanced and high-power output. An advanced look-ahead noise shaper improves D/A conversion performance.
Premium Audio Components
A high-current power IC ensures stable power supply. Custom-made FT CAP3 capacitors help create smoother sound, while high-quality film capacitors reduce distortion and noise.
Large Solid High Polymer Capacitor
Adopted as battery assist for the amplifier block, the newly developed large solid high polymer capacitor offers large capacitance and low resistance. This contributes to clear, powerful and accurate bass sound, as well as clear vocals.
OFC Milled Block
An OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) milled block covers the digital block, helping both to strengthen digital ground and improve noise shielding from digital block elements such as the application processor and memory devices.
Oxygen-Free Copper Wiring
The low-resistance Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) cable is used for internal headphone connection offering low distortion and superior channel separation.
Optimized Circuit Board Design
By dividing the Audio block (highlighted in red) and the Power/Digital block (in blue), the circuit board layout has been optimized to ensure sound quality is unaffected by digital interference.
Balanced Connection
The ZX900 features a balanced plug, designed for the 4.4mm balanced connection cable. This separates left and right sound signals, while minimizing signal transmission loss and resulting deterioration.
DSD Remastering Engine
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio is resampled into an 11.2MHz DSD (Direct Stream Digital) ultra-high-frequency 1-bit audio stream. DSD Remastering is available for Wi-Fi® streamed or downloaded music.
DSEE Ultimate
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Ultimate™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. It restores acoustic subtleties and dynamic range and supports compatible wireless headphones.
Vinyl Processor
Give the warmth and character of vinyl back to your digital tracks. Enjoy subtle reproduction of the low-frequency resonance, tone-arm resistance and surface noise to deliver an authentic listening experience.
DC Phase Linearizer
Sony's DC Phase Linearizer uses digital-signal processing to match the phase characteristics of various analog amplifiers, delivering a more analog-like sound with six selectable phase character settings.
Long Battery Life
Immerse yourself in music thanks to the ZX900 enhanced battery life and portable design.
5.0" Display & Walkman® Home Screen
Enjoy the large 12.7-cm (5”) smooth and responsive touchscreen display that gives you more visibility and easier operability. The included Walkman® Home Screen can also be customized to suit your needs.
USB Type-C®
A USB Type-C® port, compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1, offers fast music file transfer and easy connectivity with a range of devices.
Expandable Storage
With 64 GB¹ integrated memory and an SD card slot, the ZX900 lets you take even the biggest music collections on the go.
