What are the benefits/advantages of listening to a local file in the Sony Music app versus a downloaded file from Apple Music?

Will the same song sound better in one versus the other?

Are you able to utilize more DSP options in the Sony app?

Sony Walkman music App has:

Better Battery Optimization, which means you get up 37++ hours playback vs 18hours with other android music apps like Apple Music

Walkman Music App has Bit perfect playback(sampling rate is based on your music file original sampling rate) vs Apple Music app which is forced upsampled to 32bit 176.4Khz/192KHz sampling rate(Not bit perfect)

Sony Walkman Music App has it's own unique spatial sound processing(in my opinion), so you will have a different kind of sound from it as compared to Apple Music, Neutron or USB Audio Player Pro.

All DSP in the walkman is system wide, exception being DSD-remastering which does not work for Bluetooth connection and only works native(no pcm conversion) in 4.4mm balanced jack.

What next! Its like a parody sketch

If you reduce memory usage to zero by turning it off does it create a pristine black background

Nah, I have a pristine “constant hiss” in my ears when “unplugged”

Managed to reduce memory usage down from ~1.8GB to 1.5GB by using ADB to uninstall apps:



Walkman feels slightly more responsive, scrolling through song list in music app feels more fluid and skipping between tracks feels abit faster too(smaller time delay before next song plays).

What's ADB?

Voltage skews and jitters are the 2 main vigilantes that is heavily affecting the overall systems. Just as long as there are power running and drawing, the noises floors will be polluted with noises, even if it is below the floor noises to our ears, but to the systems where digital reading is accounted with mV-uV and so on....it matters....quiet more than one would think. But then it would come down to the correction algorithms to take care of the rest. Because if it doesn’t, then the whole things become corrupted though. However, time domains data will show it, and I don’t mean that you can measure it with simple 1 flat frequency sweep either.

But if it doesn’t bother you, why worry ? Just be happy

Some people can live with the stock experience, just like people who use Windows without doing system optimization, driver updates and bloatware removals and privacy/security tune ups.

For me, I seek to improve and optimize all of my systems, from tuning up my android phone to overclocking cpus, optimizing ram timings, tweaking windows operating system, configuring wifi routers for lesser radio interference to modding my desktop audio system to improving my walkman(s). I find that there's significant improvements to performance and quality of life to be had if you spend your time into figuring out all these.

Tinnitus ?

I agree, and I do the same, and or some more . Cheers!

Yes, but that was more of a joke though. What I really meant is that some of us also have a lot of background contaminations, including tinnitus as one of them. Other stuff such as heart beats, pulses, breathing, running airs....etc....our brain and it sensory system, the perceptions of them all is a highly complex and miracle systems

in fact, when we are speaking about below the floor noises, most of the time they are below the noises that pollute us. In reality, if we have zero noises around us, we go crazy

What's ADB?

Android Debug Bridge

It's a command line tool that allows for you to do deeper level configuration on your android devices.

Did you know that when you execute those command lines, if it doesn’t exist or installed, it just doesnt do anything ? You can try and check this out

so overall, it is pretty safe

Thanks for the detailed reply

So if you can become a Vampire your music appreciation improves due to lack of heartbeat! Never appreciated that. Popping out to give blood

That is an interesting Idea! But that has been what greatly bothered me...so if Vampires don’t have a heart or a functioning one, then why a stake through the heart would be fatal ? . Isnt that something logically like clipping your own nails ?

I crashed my walkman by removing com.android.phone

It won't boot up competely(stuck in the last animation screen).

I had to do factory reset which reset my aging records of my balanced and singe end jacks.

Think I've finally realised this thread is populated by aliens, AI with quantum entangled ears or talking dogs.

Its all a good laugh though, keep it up.

How about injecting embryonic stem cells into your ears to make them as efficient/undamaged as day you are born

This thread is filled with people talking about DAPs noone can buy yet! No wonder they're measuring the EMI differential of 300MB of solid state RAM.
