I’m shocked the DMP-Z1 doesn’t get more attention. Chord products get so much attention yet when I compared
the TT2 to the DMP-Z1 it was no contest. The DMP-Z1 was superior in every way and it is a complete package.
absolutely agree... i tried differed devices from friends... like sp2000 etc... but once you know how dmp-z1 sounds... ANY dap is like sweet little joke :wink:

Agree with this. DMP-Z1 is very Realiatic hell… it takes you to the recording session Wow. The exact poaitioning of elements and separations. The most subtle details… every nuance, every reverb and reflection of yhe sound wow

It’s happened again…..I switched off my player last night, smack on 877.00 hours played. I’ve listened to 9 tracks so far this morning, unplugged the player & moved to my lounge & it’s gone back to where I switched off last night, with time & song. I must have clocked up 2 + hours now, that has been wiped off.

I wonder what is causing this ??

Perhaps it can’t cope with 13 hours of play in a day ?? ( & then another 9 hours…)

I have no idea exactly what's happening in your case.

On the Walkman OS, settings are first saved in RAM, then they're usually written to "disk" when you turn off the screen on Axx/ZX300/WM1A/Z players. For example, if you change a setting and then you forcefully restart the player, the settings won't have a chance to actually get saved, so the player won't remember the changed setting after that forced restart.

Here are 4 reasons
  1. 9000mW @ 16Ω vs 1500mW @ 16Ω
  2. Made in Britain vs Made in Malaysia
  3. Exotic Hardware vs off-the-shelves
  4. 5500€ vs 9000€
That should pretty much explain it.

Thanks for your reply. I tend to leave settings & everything as it is & switch off in the same manner each time. Perhaps I should wait a little longer before I unplug ?

Perhaps I should just let it automatically switch off, rather than powering off, as I think you’re indicating ? I.e. not forcefully restarting the player.

It’s really messing up my true hours played, which is annoying, if I had O.C.D. ( Perhaps I do ! ?? )
