The NW-ZX707 features a 5-inch display, Wi-Fi compatibility, and fine-
tuned capacitors and an FTCAP3 (High polymer capacitor), and a large solid high polymer capacitor that offers large capacitance and low resistance.

Meanwhile, the NW-A306 has a compact, 3.6-inch screen, full Wi-Fi compatibility, and tactile physical music controls that aim to bring a comfortable listening experience on the go.

Both the NW-ZX707 and the NW-A306 use Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), and DSEE Ultimate™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) which upscales compressed digital music files in real time.

Sony says the evolving algorithm now delivers even greater benefits for CD-quality (16-bit 44.1/48kHz) lossless codec audio.
