Zidoo Z30 Pro Media Player

It has taken me a lot of listening to the Meze Elite Tungsten to know what to write about their sound, and that is precisely because they contribute so little of their own sound to the music. The music just appears in a huge space all around you. This large sound stage especially happened with the angled Alcantera pads provided. The detail is phenomenal but completely natural and realistic at the same time. So no listening fatigue and they are very light and comfortable. I also know the realism they provide is dependent on the quality of the recording and equipment ahead in the chain.

Best Dac Ive heard for the price! Highly recommended

This R2R DAC adds warmth and musicality. It may not be the cleanest or most detail-retrieving DAC available today, but the tone and presentation are more alive than the typical Delta-Sigma DACs in this price range.

Great retailer. Knowledgeable with excellent products and after-market support.

This is a tremendous transport. It is as good as my old PSA, which I didn't think would ever be equaled. (For the record I have owned a Sony, Arcam, and Bryston players, and a PSA transport.)

You MUST level the player. Our building had shifted and I had not realized quite how much. At first the player rejected some CDs but once leveled it plays everything I own.

I have exactly one possible suggestions for the manufacturer/designer: move the repeat button on the remote further away from the play/pause button. I occasionally bump the repeat button and I realize I'm listening to the album again, after three or four tracks.

Also back to my less-than-level floor, maybe offer leveling legs on the deck? That may be too hard to implement.

If you listen to CDs, this is a transport that you should try.

BTW I bought mine from Noteworthy Audio in King, ON. It was a frictionless transaction, and Nick offered support for the first couple of days when my less than level deck was rejecting some discs. Great retailer.

Bought the HEDDphone D1, overall perfect experience communicating with Nick and ordering online, very fast email responses and 1 day shipping to my door.

Efficient

Definitive improvement in sound clarity, soundtage, details and instruments separation.

Excellent service, fast shipping and responding, highlyrecommended .

Well-built, excellent sound; very happy with the combination of the EXA100 and CNX100.

Hands down the best high end audio shop in Canada. Nick is one of the most knowledgeable, resourceful, and honest dealers I know. 10/10 experience every time!

I live on the other side of the country but service from Noteworthy is as good as if they were local. Ran into a small issue with the order but Nick went above and beyond to make it right. You just can’t find another business operating with such high integrity and honesty nowadays. The Z10 DAC is a wonderful device but what made the purchase extra special is Noteworthy Audio. I am a customer for life!

Nick was excellent at communicating and keeping me up-to-date on the actual shipment date, even over the Christmas holidays. And was good enough to give me a token of appreciation for the unexpected delivery delay.

The Cayin iDAP-8 is a true high-end digital transport. It delivers an exceptionally clean and stable digital signal, with a noticeably blacker background, improved image stability, and more natural micro-dynamics. Paired with a capable DAC, especially via I²S, it allows the downstream system to perform at its full potential rather than adding any coloration of its own.

With a large media collection I wanted to take the heat off my aging Oppo and have the collection at my fingertips. Also important was video & audio quality. The only alternative was K..Scape which is totally cost prohibitive.

The Zidoo is complex with an enormous number of setting to tailor it to my system. This took a while as does getting my media onto its 2 14TB internal Hard Drives.(purchased separately)

I also have many concerts and good audio is Paramount.

I was somewhat skeptical of the hype, however its performance is phenomenal!! Lossless audio and video.

Adding media is tedious but worth it for sure.

I highly recommend the Zidoo 8000.
