So I had to comb thru music to ensure only good stuff got onto DMP

Now the question. What’s best way to transfer playlist to DMP?

I’ve been using Sony software on PC to transfer

Have used soundiiz but no format seemed right for Sony ...

MusicBee should work.
Place m3u playlist in the Music directory.

The nw-ZX500 into DMP-Z1 should allow addition of a hires streaming right?

That knob is really something, I love turning it too.

Is it possible to just buy the knob ?

It isn’t the knob that turning so well....it is the physical built of the RK50. However, Sony customized it with Sony specific designs, and so they are calling it RK501.

The knob is simply screwed onto the connecting shaft of the attenuators which by itself is turning so smooth and nice. As I mentioned, the RK50 by ALPs is very revered in attenuators for many audiophiles equipments. In my own experiences, I have it built on into my KG-T2 for my Stax system, and I know how it sound in comparison to other stepped attenuators I had built on the other amps such as Carbon or Grounded Grid. The BHSE Amps also have the RK50 as an optional upgrade

Now, if you asked, could you buy the attenuators alone for that “tits turning sensation”? yes you can, just buy RK50, and any knobs.....only that it cost $1000+ per unit. *The DMP-Z1* is expensive for many reasons. After all the reasons are comprehended, the DMP-Z1 is actually cheap for the price

True on all counts beside the GSX.

I have the RK50 option in my BHSE, so I can understand what you mean

40 days after sent the DMP to service centers the unit still not returned. Called Sony China and they told me this is the first unit sent to service, no spare parts at the moment. Don’t know how long I have to wait.

Is the engineer at that site still cleaning the bathroom? Or fixing the bathroom now that no time to search or call Sony for parts asap.
You should contact dealer over there for a refund or something.
I would a review on Sony Web and let them know the situation then their people will contact China asap.
Good luck to you.

I think his situation is a bit unfortunate.

1/ it is a used unit, so it only has factory warranty ...of which...Sony will not have parts available as they claimed

2/ he didnt buy it new from a dealer, so I dont think they could replace for him ? Unless he contacted the guy he bought from and ask for helps

 

[LegionWolf]

So I’m curious before purchasing - has anyone tested 1TB micro SD cards?

 

[purk]

Yes, I did. My Sandisk 1TB works just fine.

Thank you for being concerned. The local service center sent the unit to the Sony China headquarters in ShangHai and Now they are waiting for spare parts from Japan. In China refund only happens in 7 days after purchasing so not an option.

Thank god I still have the warranty. As the told me this is the first unit sent to service so I think there are some procedures need to go through.There were only ten or twenty units sold in China so I bet Sony China never had a service plan for it.

Yeah I bet they didn’t envision a problem with their unit would occur so soon....
