In the music player settings there is DSD > USB output for DSD > Auto or DoP setting. I have mine set to Auto.

After plugging in your USB C dongle, go to the normal ZX507 settings and look for "Connected devices". Normally this is where you would check bluetooth device, but after you plug in a USB C dongle, "USB" also appears in the "Connected devices" setting. See attached pics. The proof is in the picture. The last 2 pictures are in reverse order.

will try this once home and report back!

@mt877 OK it recognises it but the dialogue box doesn't come up!

edit: my VE Odyssey on the other hand is a plug and play operation!

Cool, glad something is working. I thought I had the dialog box not open a couple times before. I thought I left the music player app running (even in background) and just reseat the usb c dongle once or twice and the dialog appeared. I guess the dialog appeared for the VE Odyssey then?

not even! literally just plug and play, no prompt. unless I'd been prompted previously on a test run it just worked out of the box so to speak.

Nice. I wonder what's the deal with the Apogee Groove then. I have developer option enabled. In developer > 'Default USB Configuration' is set to 'No data transfer', also USB debugging is disabled. Those and the ones already revealed are the only USB settings I could find on the ZX507.

I'll play around with dev options tomorrow and see if I can get something working!

UPDATE: so it conclusively Does Not Work. Insult to injury: the very capable Tempotec Sonata iDSD Plus which I've had on classifieds for months is also a plug and play operation. Sounding very good by the way. Bringing that out of retirement and sticking the AG on classifieds because I didn't get a €200 device to use primarily with my phone no matter how good it sounds!

Cool. Quick Q's: Is the USB C DAC outputting more power vs the builtin 3.5SE or 4.4Bal outs? I think you lose the signature Sony sound as well?

313 store still has the demo unit last Sat. But I think no more new sets….I bought the last one

Price?

I need to A/B but the balanced out doesn't come into it - I have no 4.4mm gear currently, or 2.5mm off the Tempotec Sonata for that matter. I'll get back to ya

Hi everyone. Is there any way to disable the touch screen? The option was there to do this on the zx300 but the 500 just disables the physical side buttons. I use it in the gym and the slightest screen touch even with screen locked interferes with play and it drives me nuts! The only thing I can think of is importing those horrendously expensive official flip cases from Japan.....

Turn off “double tap” to turn screen on. That way the only way to turn screen on is to press power button

Love the ZX507, I once sold an AK SP1000M in favor of keeping the ZX507!

But now I am looking at getting the WM1AM2, if anyone wants a pristine silver zx507, Japan model, original box, pm me with your price.

Hi guys, are there any ways to install purchase apps (like UAPP, Neutron) on Chinese FW ?

The wm1am2 will not disappoint you, i am also a zx507 user and wm1a user and the m2 is definitely a fusion of both devices and more
