Just picked up an AC version of the PHA-3 for £120. Listening to UAPP via balanced cable with MDR-Z7. Very detailed, amazing soundstage, and very comfortable to listen to for extended periods. I own the TA-ZH1ES. I missed the PHA-3 first time around, but I gotta say I'm very impressed by how it...

Here's another example. If you don't like the original orange accent you can change it.

I just changed the wallpaper to this, and the accent colour changed with it. It's one of the wallpapers that comes with the android 13 update. The accent colour is linked in with the wallpaper. The colour here is a very light blue/purple. I'm using dark mode.

You can change the colour accents in the UI by using different wallpapers.

360 reality audio working again on Tidal 👍

Just tried 360 on Tidal with my zx707. Same issue - no sound.

Hi, . When I play 360 reality audio tracks in Tidal there is no sound. This is on Xperia 1 iii. I suspect this is a problem with Tidal if it's happening across different devices. What problems are you facing?

Just wanted to check something. The Tidal android app allows bit perfect playback via USB dac mode. It doesn't seem to work with the TA-ZH1ES. Tidal recognises the dac but there's no sound. Just says no stream on the dac. Is this a known problem?

It's not a huge deal. I do use playlists quite a lot. Using jriver I can resample everything to the same sample rate which fixes the problem. It's just a bit annoying on Tidal where hi Res playlists have tracks of differing sample rates.

Thanks Kingy. I'm curious if anyone knows what the technical /engineering reason would be that this only occurs when using the preamp output and not when using the headphone outputs?

Hello people, I've just bought a second hand TA-ZH1ES from ebay. Had it a few days, and am very happy with the sound quality. When I use the unit using the USB b input (pc using tidal and jriver) and the pre out output into my integrated amp, I'm getting noticeable pauses and an audible...

A Its totally subjective of course, but I find anytime I introduce EQ to my headphones or IEMs, it always feels somewhat artificial to my ears. I can hear improvements in some areas but it seems to always be to the detriment of the overall tonality of the headphones. So my experience would...

There's a report on the Walkman blog that suggests zx707 may be getting an update to android 13. What benefits / upgrades do you think this might bring to the table? https://thewalkmanblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/sony-nw-a300-and-nw-zx700-walkmans-to.html?m=1

Another thing I tried to troubleshoot the problem was to setup a 5ghz wifi hotspot from my mobile's 5g connection to see how that would play with LDAC, and the zx707 couldn't see the 5ghz hotspot. The Walkman had no problem seeing the hotspot when I set it up as a 2.4Ghz connection. Of course...

Yeah I almost always use the 707 with wired headphones so not such a big issue for me either. Hopefully a future firmware update will help.🤞
