Stoopid DSD. I have this DSD album, sounds so good but I have to crank up the volume even with the DSD gain setting to 0db. The album finished without me noticing it and the next PCM album kicked in at 80/120 volume while normally, I listen to 50-60/120.

Anyone having similar issues with the DSD playback level? Any solutions? I turned off the automatic next album setting for now.

it's only on zx507 and a105. (40 th anniversary of Walkman)

I have the non anniversary version of A105, and it also has the tape thing.

I have done an A / B test with two European ZX507 (3.00.07 and 2.01.00 firmwares) . Does anyone know if in firmware version 3.00.07 they have increased the volume? In some moments I hear more volume.

I have read that the new firmware detects the impedance of the headphone and adjusts the volume. How true is this?

are u sure AK K series is an upgrade?

Yes, I'm sure that the AK A&Ultima series is an upgrade, at least for me.
432 grams in copper ...it's less then the WM1Z which I had and which is 455 grams

yes, they made 2 versions on a100 player. basic and "special one" (I believe it is supplied with special cassette type case)
I meant that both a100 and zx500 series were made to 40th anniversary of Walkman.

I just noticed Sony released firmware v4.0. Has anyone tried it out?

I’ll be giving v4.0 a whirl after my lunch (EU model)

 

[uncletim]

link to the US version file?

over wi-fi mine will revert back to default Japanese, I would imagine the same thing if using the Media Center for PC software?

Please do it now and test if the volume has increased after this update. There is a lightning deal on Amazon Germany for ZX507. Many thanks.

 

[Tiax]

and test if the volume has increased after this update.

Why would it?
If there was something as big as removing the volume cap, it would've been mentioned in the release notes.

I know the hope is probably in vain but there is always a minimal chance.

They would be in conflict with EU regulations about it, so they won't remove the volume cap.

 

[Keko123]

Why do other daps sold in Europe not have volumen cap? Are they breaking the law?
