Just curious to hear from people who have the LPG Diana and the Sony NW - WM1Z. How would you characterize the two? Which do you like best? I have my thoughts, but I said always same curious as to what others think...
I have the LPG (not Diana) and the WM1A (not Z), I love them both. The sound of the LPG is more pleasing to me — more “you are there” in the room with the musicians (as Grado headphones also sound) with simultaneously more sound extent (“air” or “space”) and tighter positional focus of instruments, as well as its great parametric EQ. I like the user interface better for the Sony, with its ability to show album art, its ability to feed a DAC (with the right Sony connector), and its more complete spatial use of its display. I also love the balanced output of the Sony, as well as the opportunity to use same-manufacturer headphones (Z7) and IEMs (Z5).

Lately I've been listening to the Sony exclusively, because I absolutely love what it does with metal music. LPG is much better with jazz and classical

Now I am left wanting the Sony NW-WM1Z... we must be polar opposites. LOL The only two genres that never go on my players are pop and rap. I even have some electronic music like Kraftwerk and Ozric Tentacles on my players. A pretty diverse group of music altogether. A little Floyd, some grunge, and a sprinkling of alternative, like Mazzy Star...

if you load the .iso into Xrecode it will tell you the file format inside. when I ripped my SACD collection I had an option to convert DST to DSD and once I did that my SACD ISOs played fine. don't ask me why some SACDs are in DSD and others in DST, cause I have no clue. I just stumbled across this while dropping ISOs into the LPG. doing it the ISO route clears up the clicks between tracks
I just read the file format with Xrecode.. I rip my SACDs to DSDISO using Sonore's ISO to DSD. it allows me to chose how the ISO is constructed (DSD or DST inside the ISO wrapper)
