I wonder who they consult what to tune in the sound, then update the sound using software upgrade.

Everyone's preference is different.

I never realized how big dsf files are until just recently. quad or 8x dsd must be stupid big files.

how many songs do you guys have? whats your bitrates? is there anyone using this with cd quality audio?

I have quad DSD files. They are around 1GB per song.

Not worth the space. Just convert them to flac.

i was in the sony store learning about just ear. they explained that they have a team of highly paid audiophiles who they consult to get the EQ just right.

the just ear comes in 3 eqs. club, listening, and flat

I came across now they have Artist sound preference option for Just Ear.

They look for some well known Japanese artist to tune the IEM to their perference and sell it under the artist name.

can dsd bitrate be compared to flac bitrate? does dsd sound better than 24/192?

is converting dsd to flac lossy?

Flac is always lossless. Personally I’m not able to hear any difference between dsd and a flac conversion but then in most cases I also can’t hear any difference between a hires flac and the same file downsampled to 16/44.

I can confirm with new 2.0 big sep-up black silent 0 distortion amazing

in the FW page , it says

Before you upgrade
After updating, the firmware cannot be reverted to an earlier version.

so , can we go back to 1.20 if we don't like 2.00 ? or , once you go to FW 2.00 you can not go back to 1.20 ?

My 5 cents about firmware version 2.
1.Sound - some light changes for good. Wider soundstage, better instruments separation. Sounding more detailed, light. High frequencies more transparent, better articulated. Bass - more impact, deeper. It looks that some more loudness added in amplification - listening now 3-5 dials less than previously.
Using only balanced.
2.Bluetooth - perfected. Super fast connection. Total improvement in sound - aptX with PXC550.
3.Firmware more responsive, faster.

Thanks, Sony! Do not forget, we are waiting for DAC

Recently for DSEE HX I have been using type: Percussion . It puts the spotlight in the higher register notes. Please try it if you want to squeeze a little more emotion into the vocal, the music. This is my favorite setting now.

If you know how to root device (me not I think it is possible to save 1.2 in computer/card and come back to old firmware version.

Filled my 256gb card with DSD files. Playing in direct mode, any sound "spices". What a perfection! Even HR flac sound shard and edgy to compare with DSD. Sony know how to handle DSD.

i have saved all FWs on my PC (1.10/1.20/2.00) but still no sure if i can install again 1.20 after i install 2.00

will stay with 1.20 for now and wait for mre feedback on the new FW
