A year and a half.
You have to turn direct source on before you can access dsd remastering.

At my listening rate ( I am at home all the time. ) I reckon I’m going to be on 4.000 hours after a year and a half. :smile:
Correct. You can have both set on. Remastering is an independent feature and does not require Direct to be On or Off.

Oh right. I’ll have to experiment more. I keep saying I will, but I’m really happy with how it’s presently set.

Can someone pls tell me the DMP DC plug size I did a search but the thread is too long I know I saw it somewhere. I am trying to buy an external power supply and was looking HDPlex which is always sold out.

I am looking at https://ferrum.audio/hypsos/ which only come with a
5.5x2.5mm and a 5.5x2.1mm DC plug will it fit the DMP?

TIA
There are adapters you can get if the plug is the wrong size. Curious to find more about what the Hypsos can do to/for the DMP-Z1.

Continuing on theplug topic. I have a sony VAIO laptop that atoll works. Ithink the AC adaptor outputs 19.5V, would this work?

That one is made specifically to charge a laptop, while these ones should be made to power up a DAP.

Just curious, but has anyone here compared the DMP-1Z to the Lotoo LPGT (original, not titanium)?

Would be interested to hear how they compare, as the LPGT has thus far been the pinnacle of DAP sound quality for me, in terms of just how it made every IEM I plugged into it sound almost a price tier higher (e.g. mid-range IEM sounding more like TOTL).

I traded mine for a Sony WM1Z. I love the WM1Z too, but for different reasons. Perhaps my DX220MAX is the DAP I have which comes closest to the LPGT for technical performance, but I got that after trading the LPGT, so no chance to compare!

4.4mm into balanced amplifier for my large stereos

Simply stunning with volume maxed out in low gain , on battery

A33C07ED-9224-44D0-87BC-E9852EE997FA.jpeg

Well 3 months in another 200 hours of listening ( 555 hrs in total. ) & this wonder still brings a smile to my face, throughout each & every day !

One thing I need to try & sort out now is speaker listening, for which I’ve been unsuccessful so far. Below is my AVR SONY STR-DN1080 & of course I’ve noticed @Whitigir is using a integrated amplifier. Is my AVR the reason I have no sound ??

I’ve tried two of my receiver inputs, but as I said no sound. One thing I haven’t done is max the volume on the DMP-Z1. Forgive my ignorance, but is the sound controlled by both volume dials, I.e. on the receiver too ?? I’m using the unbalanced connection, unlike @Whitigir

Any help would be much appreciated, because I can already imagine how good the sound would be through my speakers, even though they’re not anything high end.

Both volume and you need to select input source in your Sony ?

Thanks @Whitigir so there’s no reason why my AVR shouldn’t work, following what you’ve said ? I know I didn’t max the volume on my DMP-Z1 & I recall fiddling around with my volume dial on my AVR.

I’m going to try again a little later this evening. Hoping I can get it to work….

Just to say I’ve done it now. At this moment, just listened a few seconds, but immediate impression, nothing special. Saying that my speakers aren’t anything high end & don’t know if using balanced would make a difference ??…..but I’ll have a further listen later, to an album I really like. Thanks again.
