I’m listening through an amp so it’s always direct mode on. I only use DSEE HX AI when I’m using the Walkman direct with headphones.
The one negative about any of the DSPs, as soon as you switch off source direct, no matter how they improve the sound, the background hiss is much easier to hear - even if all DSPs are disabled...
As good as HX AI is, on extended listening, I'd rather have inky blackness
What I discovered is I like to use dsp on wm1a cause they add some warmer and more cozy sound.
On wm1z I dont like enabling the filters and stay direct source as maximum possible. 1z is already fully optimized and warm by nature, all dsp's only ruining it.
1a yes dsp
1z Nooo
