No doubt after using the Bright tuning for the longest time and then growing a liking for neutral after a while, I have also eventually settled on the WM1Z tuning. Its just so well balanced and Ive been stuck on it for about a year now in combination with J3 & PMV 2. Does great for home use as well as auto, at least with my current hardware.
I tried Bright again yesterday, to confirm what I was hearing..... and I found it to be very hard to leave the WM1Z tuning.
I played with Bright Sinatra and dragons and then WN1C and also a little bit of the AC initialization and the plus B one and plus be two most and it was fun to see change. Go to hear change not to see. I finally settled with the That our great Danish friend Joseph.
Startup database speed is dependent on two things, the number of tracks and the speed of the microSD card.
Your answer is incomplete and based on personal experience. I believe that long database scan speed is caused by software error on some devices (mine is not affected). To prove it I need the information I requested in my post.
There is no such region, only two regions matter: CEW2 and KR3. Region chart is a product of imagination.
Are you a sound science person?
Sorry your assumption is incorrect.
@colonelkernel8 belligerently offered me $10k to see if I could tell the difference between an Apple Dongle and a Sony DMP-Z1 in a blind test.
Under certain circumstances database scan skips existing files and should be blazing fast (as observed on my device). There were several reports of people waiting for minutes on device startup; I believe that the cause is a software malfunction. Therefore I need more information from affected users, which may (or may not) confirm the bug.
Hardware has nothing to do with regions. This is clearly told on pages I linked; if it's not clear, please re-read the pages and ask related questions. You should also continue reading this thread from whatever page you stopped on (was it 480+?).
I'm just trying to figure out if you listen with your ears or rely on things you see on a piece of paper.... or what you think you've found in the code.
The code, only the code. Ears are unreliable. Technologies that are described with buzzwords without code available (like aptx/ldac) should be used with a grain of salt. Audio tech is not a religion based on spiritual experience, its output can be measured and compared (like here); code can be reverse engineered (like I did).
