I'll stick with PCM

I do too, and DSD, And lately AptX HD roflmao. Believe it or not ? I have been spending 2 days with this new Bluetooth headphones without Utopia or Stax 009. Every Bluetooth headphones before this ATH DSR9BT are usually discarded or rejected by me within 1 hour. The last one was 1000X

I got lcd XC. I tried it with wm1a briefly but it's not strong enough to power the lcd XC.

Still having a difficult time selling my. Wm1a. I figured people likes this player

I'm going to assume you're using it on high gain, but if not, just go to output and increase the plugs output power to high gain. That might help. Alternatively if its on single end (which has less power) get it on 4.4mm balanced, that should have adequate power and if not put it on high gain.

Are you using the balance output?

 

[NaiveSound]

No, but the sound was rather unimpressive over my note 8 or mojo, so just reporting, but with my cheap akg iem wm1a is great, Zeus XR and Audeze Lcd XC were unimpressive with wm1a

 

[Shmuel]

Since the fw update, my wm1a no longer recognizes the Sony WMC-NWH10 USB Conversion Cable, which I used to connect to my Hugo 2.

Anyone else have this happen? Any ideas about a fix without trying to reform to am older fw?

For real ? I no longer use this dongle anymore but I am still using the Docking cradle and it is working just fine

 

[Shmuel]

That's surprising.

Any ideas?

Fw 2.0 sound quality is growing on me

 

[proedros]

Fw 2.0 sound quality is growing on me

does it make 1a sound more lean/reference or more musical ?

how does the bass/mids/treble change ?

 

[Blommen]

Then what is the point of the comment? We have discussed this to death, if you are not using balanced you are not utilising the dap properly.

I am happy to share my new finding ...

This is a potential a good news to 1Z owners who find FW2.0 is too "clinical" and prefer to use back FW1.20 for the more musical sound signature.
I find the below sound setting and steps in FW2.0, will provide a relative attractive musical signature, may be achieve 80% of the FW1.20 musical sound + 70% of the FW2.0 sound characteristic ... I find no noticeable lost in resolution, personally I find it musical enough with good sound quality, no longer has the urge to use back FW1.20.

Pls you all try these below sound setting steps and let us know how do you find , especially those who has the Sony headphone Z1R ....

Step 1 : Go to Direct Source - off , go the manual sound setting.
Step 2 : Select Equalizer (not Tone Control), make sure the adjust setting is all zero - flat (completely no setting for all the frequency spectrum). Never select Tone Control display . . it may degrade the sound resolution even the setting for the base, mid and treble is all at zero scale.
Step 3 : Go to next DSEE-HX screen, click "ON".
Step 4 : Go to next DC Phase Linearlizer, click "ON" and I suggest select Type A -low (other selection may give slightly different base tone).
Step 5: Safe the setting, and make sure follow by reset the player (this is important step to ensure player use the new stepping with the clean setup. In fact every time if you make selection from Direct on to Direct off and vice-verse, you need to reset the player ... .. you will find the sound is not the same with and without reseting the player.

Pls try and share what you think ...

That is strange as I have a music heaven cable I am using with the Hugo 2 and works fine still using the 2.0fw.

I still have the original Sony one knocking around so will dig it out later on today and try it out just for process of elimination that it is happening on another Sony cable.
I also have another conversion cable which a fellow Head-fier made for me couple years ago before I got the music heaven lod so best try that also.

Will be back later on with confirmation if it is doing same or not....

Is this so? Logically it shouldn't matter whether you reset 1Z or not. I can already here a clear difference between direct on and direct off. Anyhow, I have never reset the 1Z, so can't really comment on it, but perhaps I should give it a try.

Yes, logically it should , but I think the software and system has some bug, it does work consistently, I know this issue since the previous version Fw 1.01 and 1.20 , especially,

Yes, it doesn’t work logically consistently . Older fw event more noticeable, latest fw has improved a lot , more consistent, occasional still doesn’t,
