where is this option found ?

Display the graphic equlaizer, and then touch the toolbox icon. There should be an option for tone control......

I just bought a life time license for Roon, and I found the landing page asking me to link to a Tidal account a little annoying (thankfully it can be dismissed and will never show up again).

I do use Tidal, mostly for my wife's music
when exercising. But I still buy the music I like and integrate it with Roon even if available to stream on Tidal.
But I would not mind a USB DAC feature so that in the cases when nostalgia hits me (and I want to listen to heavy metal), I can just load up and stream on my phone an old album used to own, and play it through the 1Z.

I am still baffled with these scenarios both Low gain

MDR-Z7 driver 70mm, approx impedance 64-ohm ~ 70-ohm, sensitivity 102dB/mW
Sennheiser HD 201: driver size like 40mm? impedance 24-ohm, sensitivity 108dB/mW

Z7 volume 70 to driveto listeanble levels, and Sennheiser 80H (high gain) i tought Z7 were difficult to drive because ohmm, sensitivity and the huge driver units, but this seems beating the odds for me

Not quite sure I am grasping how this feature, if implemented by Sony, would work.

Are you saying that, as an example, one could run the Tidal app on their iPhone and have a cable connecting the iPhone to the 1Z (lightning iPhone end/Sony proprietary 1Z end) and then use the 1Z as the playback device for Tidal streams (Utopia/Z1R connected) with the iPhone as the controller of Tidal???

This would be AWESOME!

That is exactly what I meant and how I used Tidal on my Sony PHA-2

Exciting and it would be amazing if this is implemented in future firmware.

Speaking of ROON (which I am now using with my Linn DS via a SonicOrbiter running Sonore's UpnP Bridge software) - now iPeng has come out with an update allowing an iPhone/iPad to act as a ROON endpoint.

I wonder if (assuming Sony implements this update) the iPhone can be a ROON endpoint and be run though the 1Z?

Have we had any confirmation that Sony will be implementing this firmware update??

If Sony implements USB DAC function on the 1Z then it should just be a matter of connecting the iPhone to the 1Z using the Camera Kit just like you would with devices like Mojo etc.

Thank you
Wow this would be wonderful if it was implemented - I have a Mojo which I used prior to getting the 1Z. The Sony is much better!

Is this firmware update speculation and a pipe dream or did this rumour start with someone having some inside knowledge or conversations with Sony?

Speculation and pipe dream.....according to what Sony had done with Zx300

MQA not interested
APE meh, when I stumble upon ape files I convert them to FLAC

Bluetooth aptx HD interested somehow for BT. Car head units or wireless speakers.

USB DAC definitely interested in this one
