Read the online manual and this is why. I'm on a Mac. Sony Hi-Res Audio app shows PCM as well.

PHA-2A does playback native DSD with Signature Series 1Z Walkman.
I think I'm beginning to understand why their Signature DACs have such a nebulous presence in the US market... They're under the radar. If they actually started selling serious numbers over here, they would have to update their US devices, or be up to their eyeballs in unfair competition lawsuits. Artificial limitations are always lame, but that's egregious.
Doesn't make much difference to me... I'm like 95% Tidal these days anyway.
