Looks like Sony optimized the active memory usage. It is showing 1.5GB in this new firmware, it used to be ~1.8GB. This is after applying tweaks.
is there DAC mode?
VVhat has changed?Nope.
I'm about to take delivery of the Z1R. Would you recommend the ZX507 to power it? What's been your experience with the combination?100% perfect! I wish Android would release a vanilla Android experience which would be perfect for things like DAPs. We probably utilise about 10% of what is loaded onto the operating system in a DAP. Battery drain and resources getting eaten by things other than what is needed from a DAP.
Sony really do some amazing things, and then there is the rest of Sony.......and that is me currently listening to his IER-Z1R (former) with ZX507 (latter).
What's been your experience been like with the ZX-507/IER-Z1R combination? Would you recommend?Hi. Fortunately i'm very lucky to be working in a shopping centre where there is a Sony store. They do centre staff discounts (insane right?) and it seems like these "centre partner discounts" are very generous. 40% off the ZX-507 at $999AUD.
I got a sweet deal on the IER-Z1R as well.
Personally i don't.What's been your experience been like with the ZX-507/IER-Z1R combination? Would you recommend?

I also assume z1r need more power, as it has same or almost the same specs like ier m7, and I was surprised that it was not easy to drive on 4.4mm 200 mW.Personally i don't.
I think the IER Z1R needs alot more power to make it sound to it's potential. Something like an ibasso DX300.
Anyways I struggled with the Z1R because i found the weight too much for me on the go and purely used it as a home iem as the IER Z1R scales up beautifully with good desktop equipment. It absolutely sang with my Questyle cma400i.
However in the end i decided to sell the IER Z1R as i use headphones for home and i'm actually in the process of selling the ZX507.
