Hi all

Regarding DSD re-mastering, I've seen this in the manual:

"[DSD REMASTERING] Converts all PCM signals to DSD signals of 11.2 MHz or 12.2 MHz."

Is there a way to up-sample native DSD64 files to DSD256 rates, like happens to PCM (as above)?

Cheers

The only up-sampling it does is from PCM to DSD

Thanks Jason. So DSD64 stays DSD64? And doesn't get converted to DSD256?

I couldn't find this anywhere in the manual.
Correct. It leaves most signals alone.

Man, the Pioneer SE Master 1 is Valhalla with this Amp. Huge soundstage, a lot of details and the best bass in any open headphone. Is the best combination I have found in any HIFI equipment.

Is Sony TA-ZH1ES A-Class or D-Class Amp?

It's a hybrid. There's a Class A section in the design which is used to correct for the noise in output of the Class D section, so the final output is the combination of both.

Listening to "Yr Olaf" by Anian. Plugged into the TA-ZH1ES. With both the Utopia and Z1R it's incredible. The TA-ZH1ES is very musical... thanks @sonicdefender for the music suggestion

No one is ugly, especially man, just as long as you have 6 packs ^_^

If you mean by 6 packs, Beer? I'm not in. Too slow. Give me a martini and I'm a happy camper. If you mean a cut stomach, well mine doesn't look like a pilsbury doe boy either and at my age, it doesn't suck! :ksc75smile:

On that other headphone forum a couple of people have called the TA-ZH1ES mediocre. I just don't get that at all, I think it's fantastic.
