native dsd decoding only on 4.4 balance output as I recall
DSD convert to PCM on 3.5 SE

But with a 3.5mm trrs going in that port, I've read that you get native dsd. I just want to know if there'd be much difference in sq when using the 3.5mm port (balanced) when it's being fed to an amp

No. Native DSD is only from the 4.4 balanced port. The 3.5 port is single ended or seperate ground, not balanced

The TRRS should only be playing PCM as confirmed by Sony engineers

Aaahhhhh alri, so I'll try n find a 4.4mm LOD. Nice one guys

Sorry for the extra question, but if I were to take a 2.5mm trrs and use a 4.4mm trrrs adapter, to input that into the balanced port, would it then be playing native dsd?

Eidolic makes a high-quality 4.4 TRRRS plug.

Yes anything coming out of the 4.4 is balanced as long as there are 4 wires (2 for each channel) all the way and wired correctly

Amazon US shows three variants to fit the Sonys. I just ordered the new glass version. Dealer is in Germany, so it might be a while before I get it.

It will arrive quicker than you think. 5 days from memory - this was the delivery time from someone else in the US who bought one. All the Brotect films come form the one German supplier who is either the manufacturer or seems to be doing global distribution direct from Germany all by themselves.

I was the one who first reported on this. Cheap as chips - I bought two and they arrived in less than a week. Absolutely stellar

I have a custom balanced cable from Double Helix Cables on the way, with male Eidolic 4.4mm and male Eidolic 3.5mm, for my Oppo PM-3 and the Sony NW-WM1A. Check his website for a great selection of parts and outstanding built-up cables.

That's good news! Thanks. I have a Dignis case ordered, too.
