Just keep on searching but havent find one. Whats their difference?Except for the fact that they are different in extensions. Whats the advantage of .zapf over .apf? Is there a clear and big difference in audio quality?In handling sounds?can someone enlighten me. Thanks

Zapfs work on DB 2020.
Apfs work on DB 2010.

That's the only one and the most important difference.

Aside from the audio compression (which I cannot explain, no idea!), they added stereo widening effect on ZAPF, I don't like it though! It kills my bass tweaks! I believe, there is more smoothness in full stereo sound with ZAPF, and that's what I like about it!

And lastly, (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) ZAPF acoustics are not designed for HPM-70, and if you are tweaking ZAPF, you should not use HPM70 or you can just use two different types of earphones HPM70 and HPM62 or the one I recommended before (Genius hpv-02), then you will know the dieffrence.

Have a nice day!

1. Yes. Got better quality.
2. Yep. I think all newer SE got this option in mediaplayer settings. But usually it gives no effect, I noticed it only in W850 (cool phone.... )...

for me,zapf have better sound quality than apf...it added more DRC to it to make the sound quality even better...
