much more linear now, although not perfect.

Some tests on the EQ (+10 on 31hz band:

I have the US version from Moon Audio. They sold me an open box as new so I was nervous why it was returned. Everything is fine, no bass issues.

Well, I have some actual MQA files that do show as 24/192 in Walkman Music app which is good enough for me. I can't tell a 96 vs 192 track.

Great - that means at least a 4x unfolding (from 48KHz 1st level)

i saw a review where the player had a rubber stopper in the usb port but mine didnt have.

does anyones here? im not bothered tbh but if its meant to have it then i wonder if my unit was a return

Actually, think I got mixed up with 192/24 FLAC files.

Just been through all my MQA albums and max show was 96/24.

You were going to lose it anyways so they lost it for you

Japanese ones (mine) has rubber stopper. I also use one in 3.5mm port when not using

Probably on Jap version has that. Mine didn’t . let your hair down, don’t use rubber - it’s more exciting

I really don't know how you guys can use the capped ones.

Having one stuck in the 3.5mm and usb constantly might stretch out the holes a bit faster making them looser - not sure it’s for the best

The Sony unfolds to infinity ♾ No really, mqa sounds great. You realize those ultra high bit rates are overkill. Just like 130 db snr.

If it makes anyone feel better I think it does 8x on tidal masters and you have to have the unit on high res rez streaming. So 192 kps. Not that you can tell the difference anyways. It's more to do with how good the tracks are mastered/recorded.

Another update

Found a 192 MQA album.

UAPP shows Master single unfold at 96

Walkman App shows as 192 but who knows if it plays at 192 or less

for me its not bad. im 40 and have hearing loss prob off listening to cassette walkmans too loud and all the time from being a kid, thru ipods etc.

i use it mainly with sony Bluetooth headphones on commute so the cap doesn't apply.

and in the house i plug in koss porta pros or grado sr60 both of which are way loud enough for me and not at full volume

They come as standard for both 3.5mm & 4.4mm with Japanese WM1AM2. One in mine is from the WM1AM2 I had (came with a spare).

Its really soft rubber. If it can survive 10's thousands of gold plated metal insertion not much to worry about

We still talking about DAP's I assume

UAPP does the first unfold to 88.2 or 96 kHz (if you purchased the add-in)... that's it. UAPP does not use the MQA renderer, verified by logcat. The Walkman app does use the MQA renderer, if you have any local MQA files, of course...
