Hi buddy, if you or somebody else wants to send an Ultima my way I'd be more than happy to, but other than that I don't see it happening hehe. If a Cu comes available in the FS section I might take a risk, but I'd ideally like to try it somewhere.

Yes the AK has great power in its sub-bass, I remember it having great authority in its low end. The mod won't really change much of the Sony's bass unfortunately, but it will improve its resolution. Similarly, its treble will still be nowhere nearly as bright as the AK's, but it will have more balance and a nice touch of sparkle.

Hi! Thanks for info) Okay, I understand the situation. With pleasure I would send you AK but I have only 1Z (

Nevertheless I can image the difference between AK and moded Sony due to your words, thanks)

Cheers

That's easy.
1.Get balanced cable.
2.Get DSD record.
3.Plug cable into 4,4mm socket.
4.Click on "Play".
5.Enjoy.



P.S. Enjoyed even with hard to drive 800S.

Even better, use Sonys own MDR-Z1R.... Gorgeous...

Oh, you just wait 3+ weeks, will be auditioning side-by-side at AK's table

I have sat with the simple two piece combination/4.4mm and yes it was lovely. And it’s like “dah”......why try to reinvent the wheel Sony has given us. It’s not like I spent more than 15 minutes with it, but the more I read about the Z1R, the more I think that’s it. A plus too is the cable included! I’m on the edge of being a Sony fanboy........

For anyone using 400gb card, how is the scan time?

With about 30000 files total on the 1Z rebuilding the database takes 3-5 minutes

Cool, thanks for the quick reply.

New 512gb card introduced at CES! Google it - a Sandisk competitor

Speaking of which - previous posts are asking how long to scan the database on a 400gb card - 3-5 minutes.
That sounds long. I have a 256 card and about 430gb of files and it probably takes a minute or so.

Here is my question - as cards get bigger (is 512 mentioned above) scan times get longer. Does the 1Z needs to scan each and every time it is powered up?

Yes, it scans each time on power up. 320GB used, 10,121 songs, takes 45 secs scan on power up. If adding or deleting files, the database rebuild takes longer, but the scanning on powerup,(with no files changed), is pretty fast. Quite acceptable.

I only rescan when new files have been added as I never power the device down. I assume scan time depends on number of files rather than size.

I used to swear off Sony stuff when I first got on here.
VAIO computer horror experience and the rootkit fiasco they were in with copyright protection stuff.....not gonna be a part of their ecosystem.

Now they own me.

Different departments.

I really enjoy Sony's audio products, but I still avoid a lot of their other things. For example I still have no plans to ever buy another PlayStation.

And not play God of War???

Last thing I loved from Sony, besides PS1.

I've played and finished God of War to like the third instalment, never really that impressed with the series to be honest.
Actually I find most of the Sony exclusives to be pretty meh or down right offensively boring, including much hyped games like Uncharted (I HATE Nathan Drake, I simply cannot sympathise with that character).
