I forgot I can change the settings in Windows' Sounds sample size and bit rate. This is fine right? I just choose the highest that is available to me there, 32-bit and 384kHz.

She looks so hot but runs cool to the touch.

Been burning in mine nonstop for a week now I think. Aircon on or not, it stays the same temperature.

Well in some ways Sony have proven that u don’t need to be operating entirely in a Class “A” to sound great.

Just leave it plugged in, the device is smart enough to prioritise battery or AC operation depending on battery level.

Questions to other DMP owners out there. Do you feel that The asking price is justified after owning it for awhile? How would u rate the DMP in sound department alone: excellent +, excellent, very good, or good. Any drawback in term of sound quality?

I dont know about other, but I was tired of the digital source and the playback apps being buggy and problems everywhere. I am strictly talking about digital source that you would need a cables like USB or I2S and an interfaces with good quality that can playback at quality without bugs, errors, and degrading the sound.

I had built myself a $3500 PC that is dedicated Into music with I2S interface, linear powersupply and upgraded clocks components, and upgraded HDMI , USB cables, which can easily add up into 4k easily and that is without a DAC and an Amplifier...and it still bugg me out....so think about that. I dont regret building my PC as it can server other purposes, but for being a dedicated source alone by itself....hardly justifiable as the quality isnt all there.

Therefore, the main reason why I looked toward DMP and then loving the engineering, the components that goes in it, then decide to buy it.

Seriously, for an all in one device that can operate on battery or AC and switch on the fly, drive fullsize headphones, and built with all the most sophisticated components ? It is still cheap for it price.

If you look at it as a DAP , then it is expensive, but if you look at it as a Desktop system that includes sources, Amp, interconnect cables, battery power....it is cheap.

Let me guess....the analog amplification section :D. Why dont you wait until DMP Z2

Yeah not so much. Mostly the drawback for me is Sony only sends 4-6 into the US every 45 days or so. I don’t think customers that want them want to wait that long. To be honest, it took me a few days to appreciate the DMP. Now I’ve grown to really like it.

It needs burn in and it still continue to improve even when beyond 500 hours :).

I too am in love with DMP. It is an all in one device that is highend desktop worthy which is carriable and no stacking requires or cables attached
