I couldn’t find the seasons - I saw some mentions about files being in someone’s signature, but the files were not found.

In my signature.

Music feels a little less energetic with MX3 versus J, don't have a feeling of any lack of bass on J Sound\garden's Spoonman bangs it out without the bass spilling into the mid and the highs remain clear. If I want to trip out on bass I'll switch to the XBA-N3, already strong on single ended, with Sony's 4.4 Kimber cable inbound...

As ever just personal impressions and totally subjective.

Audioslave, aren't we all

If your getting lost in the music, your already there...

That's the problem when you are late to a party, no more beer

Blame it on the iPhone!

In portrait mode signatures don’t show... good Lord, that’s makes me look an idiot!

It's fine, I was thinking that they just look like some colored text, and not links

Can't believe I just discovered all these few hundreds new pages to this thread 2 days ago!!
Still amazed at how you guys have transformed the 1a and 1z into completely new beasts!!
It's like I just bought a new toy

I'm pairing my 1z (J) (WM1A-z1) with z1r. Just curious if you guys keep it at Direct Source mode or not? Not all my files are hires, that's why I'm asking.
Thanks again and enjoy guys

DSEE HX on standard and DC Phase Lineariser on Type A Low for me...

used to have DSEE on strings but WM1A-z1 changed that

 

[mrrayray]

excuse me if I sound naive!
I have always been wondering how sony "creates those missing frequencies" from a non-hires file to make it hires
and more importantly, how accurate (don't even know if accurate is the right word) are those extra sound dimension, if you know what I mean?

 

[Duncan]

As a guess, as they created ATRAC in the 1990s, that stripped out certain frequencies to shrink file sizes, maybe they’ve reverse engineered that?

For sure over the course of time it has become more refined, my oldest player that contains it is my NWZ-X1060 from 2008, that definitely sounds coarse compared to the 2016 WM1x variant...

purists will say that it does more harm than good (how tv frame insertion creates soap opera effect), I like the effect though on a personal level.

Yes I guess that is their commercial secret that makes them Sony
Personally I also like the effects and I constantly switch to different settings for different genres.
Some tracks I think they're even better with the Direct Source mode.
Finding the best sound is a constant struggle but I enjoy every bit of the process!

so you have to pick a winner or you can allways come and go... 3.00 its the mx3 of the FW IMO awesome song You guys know who are my winners lol

No winners or losers, is totally a personal preference, whatever works for you is all that counts

Q-6

 

[Mindstorms]

Testing battery from 90%charge) as we speak 4.8 Hs still hasent drop the first mark, 112 avg volume mp3 320 allways one effect on.... lest see how much it endures after the reset (i did the reset top 100%)

 

[Stealer]

Sorry for asking but I kept forgetting..
So I need to write in down somewhere.
after each of these steps :
region change - just restart the player
fw update - Reset all settings or Restore to factory configuration

Am I right ?
