Well, it just works, but I plan on having an UPG for doing that, as I still don't think it's a good idea to make the method of acomplishing this widely known.

Did you manage to get DSD engine to output sound yet ?

I was talking about 1A to 1Z. I don't think we're gonna be able to use the Z1 app on WM1 too soon, or enable the option in the WM1 app.

The DSD Remaster function works in the Z1 app when launched in a WM1, but only via bluetooth audio, as there is no audio working via the balanced or 3.5mm jacks.

Is that admission that previous measurements were incomplete, faulty. And who is to say this new method isn't just as lacking as the one people have argued over for decades?
I'll stick with my hearing, no offense :)

Science is always works in progress - the previous measurements were good for the time they were designed but is no longer adequate as equipment performances have outgrown them, which is why we need new measurements (which themselves will also be made obsolete eventually).

Headphone measurements had always just been a reference point for sound accuracy reproduction and for those who understands how to interpet them to quantify why they may like certain headphones in their possession. They were never supposed to be an indicator for "perfection" or "be-all end-all must own device over others", which many people seem to confuse them for.

Science is governed by the latest theory that looks to explain an event the most satisfactorily, until it's either mis-proven or a new theory comes up with a better explanation.

"Theory", and given the track record for the measurements camp in the last 40 years, I hope you can understand why I am not jumping for joy at the unveiling of their new play thing. This is not some momentous occasion to celebrate, it's just another futile attempt to standardize human hearing, and to somehow transcribe a multifaceted auditory experience, into some squiggly lines on a piece of paper.
It cannot be done.

No we unplug the Cradle at times to quit over-charging the Walkmans and it still works fine.

Interesting. I have my TA connected to a Matrix Elemental H PCIE card. One of the features of the H is I can disable bus power on the USB port. When I do, the TA will not connect to my PC. I have to turn bus power on in order for the TA to work. It seems the dock and my PCIE card work differently with the TA.
