60 FPS games are fine, but i have a 240Hz monitor. Delay is huge like this.

There’s definitely a noticeable amount of latency with the signature series Walkman players if used as a dac/amp with a computer. It was acknowledged by Sony with the caveat that the players are not intended for video use.

Do u think all the Hi-Fi/Hi-End DACs are prone to this problem?

Are you using 1.03 firmware?

That’s hard to say without testing. I’m using the Chord Dave now. No av sync issues so far. However, when using it alongside the Hugo M Scaler there can be problems, but those can be minimized by the av option.

Just got myself the device. Wow, sounds amazing, really great there, but...
I'm really dissappointed. TA is pretty much unusable for any online competitive shooters as a sound card. The delay is massive! Tried the low gain trick, didn't work. The delay is may be slightly less noticable, but still there. Any possible solution?

I’ve never had it connected to a pc and don’t do any gaming, but there is no sync issue over optical from my tv watching movies

I don't notive a delay playing 60FPS games or watching YT/Movies. It's the competitive shooters part that is problematic. CS: GO/Quake with FPS over 200/300 aren't playable. Guess i need another pair of headphones to play those using my EVGA soundcard. Shoot

I never had a syncing issue with the TV. The Walkmans have that problem in DAC mode. For the first maybe 4 years they didn’t even offer a DAC mode, then it was introduced later with 3.00 firmware.
You can use VLC movie player to synchronize vocals.

That may not have been a consideration back in 2016 when this dac/amp came out. Technology tends to change quite a lot in the span of 5 years.

Apart from the fact the Sonys main focus was music not video/gaming

Wonder if is the TA that has the problem receiving and handling or if is the pc having trouble keeping up sending the signal out

No problems using the TA with Doom Eternal on PC

Did you end up finding one? To get more value out of my TA-ZH1ES I'm looking for the same thing. Please share any options and experiences you might have

Sorry, just saw this. Yeh, I ended up going with this:

And this

They’re a little finicky to set up, but once paired, they work fine. I leave both plugged in all the time so I don’t have to re-pair each time.

I have come to the conclusion that i prefer the sound of my LG V60 via walkman in, compared to pc via usb b playing both native FLAC files and Qobuz hi-res. Both cables are the same spec, Gothic Audio silver Sempher.
