I have a playback device that I want to use as a source for my music but it's USB C only, would my Pioneer U-05 still be able to recognise and play music from it? I'm thinking of getting a USB B to C cable for this purpose.

So, I tried the SEM5 with my Sony Walkman NW-ZX507 and compared it to my dedicated PC set-up with Pioneer U-05 headphone amp/DAC. The change is subtle, but I think the NW-ZX507 is a more pleasant and warmer listen whereas the U-05 is possibly a bit more detailed (barely noticeable) but has a...

Yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing any potential differences. I feel that the U-05 was designed to compliment the SEM1s (had a more well-rounded sound), they were a dream but the replacement procedere for the earpads was a pain not to mention expensive as hell... As for the cable, no real...

All this talk about the SEM5s sounding better with a DAP has got me curious. I've just bought a 2.5mm to 4.4mm adaptor so I can listen to these cans with my Sony Walkman. Also, it's interesting because a lot of the marketing for the SEM5s shows them being used with a DAP too. I have been...

Thank you for your response. I hope my jpegs are not progressive because my music collection is huge, I tagged them using foobar2000 mainly and they show up perfectly on my old Pioneer DAP. EDIT: Just did a quick check and some are baseline and some are progressive, gonna have to do a mass...

Excuse me if these questions have already been answered, but can you skip using Sony's music centre software to transfer files and just copy them to a folder on the SD card instead? Also, will the NW-ZX500 recognise album artwork if I've tagged the files in a program like foobar2000 for...

It's funny how I'm only finding all this information out after selling my pair lol... I also don't believe the ear pad replacement is as easy as he says, I've even read comments about a spacer being used from Japanese owners. It looks like the spacer/fixer is pictured in the document next to...

If you want to keep them, your best bet would be to buy the stock pads (when they're all in stock) or similar size/shape third party ones and have a go at replacing them yourself. They are attached with a "spacer" some kind of unreuseable adhesive strip (?), I honestly don't know because I never...

There is a part that is supposed to make it easy to swap them (see image from manual). The SEM1 could have easily had this feature but for some strange reason Pioneer decided not to include it.
