Is there a way to eliminate the 0.5 - 1 sec delay while using WM1A/1Z as a DAC while connected to your PC?
I really love the SQ and stuff but the delays are making the lips & sound out of sync & I find it a bit annoying :|

Woaa, is there such thing ? If so, it gotta be the firmware coding for buffering and latency...just my guesses

I will certainly stick to 2.0 until the next patch from Sony or fully fledged firmware version. To be honest, I would have liked it to work for my 1A, as some previously unhappy users finally have found the Nirvana with the latest version. Unfortunately, there is a more complicated device - IEM convolution and the firmware has to be just right from both perspectives. I am happy though with the 2.0. On the other hand, I didn't try the 1.2 since going beyond 400 hours of playing, so I have no idea if it's better, but I would just assume that the 2.0 improvements, and not just in terms of SQ, are worthwhile as they are.

VLC player does it. I remember someone fixing it with it, I think?

I have the MUC-M12NB1, it’s nice, relatively short but built well. It has very nice bass.....it’s OFC with silver coating. Though my next goal is to try the Kimber/Sony SONY MUC-M12SB1 as the Kimber I use for full size headphones really gets improvements. Supposedly the M12NB1 does not have all the treble smoothness and detail it could. Though I use it all the time with the DM6 and like it so far?

I don’t notice any sound delay when playing video on my 1Z with 3.01

Both Bluetooth and DAC have lip-sync? So......your thinking 3.01 has fixed it? It was noticeable with 3.0.

To me sound and lip movement don’t have any noticable sync problem. Tried with my own recordings, Youtube and Apple store films

Just tried it in DAC mode with MacBook Air; same synchronization issue. If you look close the lips are not in synch with the words they are saying. Everyone knows the DAC does this. VLC player will fix it though. Still an issue with 3.01.

Sorry, didn’t notice that it was usb dac mode, have only used BT receiver from my iPad which has no issue I can see/hear

I’m using 3.01 with the 1a and I’m having no issues with lip sync using YouTube/Netflix and various other players.

Right, unavoidable in DAC mode. I never use the DAC function. I’m simply curious how stuff works. I use Bluetooth often too, listening to songs then switch over to Bluetooth for a moment. The 1Z works seamless in that use. I actually have never looked to see if it has a slight delay in Bluetooth or not, as I’m always watching music videos.

Slight delays are normally not noticeable but in DAC mode the delay is way noticeable.
