How does the ZH1ES compare to smth like Schiit Bifrost Mulitbit + Valhalla 2?
I have a lot of Sony ES gear that I mainly use for my speaker setup and wondered if an ES gear also makes sense for my HD600/660S/800 in terms of price vs. performance?
e.g. if I could get similiar/better performance for a way lower price (currently 1800€ in Europe).
What still worries me is all the converting stuff that the Sony ES does or can do. Isn't that falsifying the actual song? Shouldn't it be left original instead of converting it to a "better quality"?
Hey Guys, after lusting and wanting the TA-ZH1ES, i finally pulled the trigger and got 1. Now my question is what USB cable is good to get for this badboy. Any Suggestions is welcome. Thank you
I second the Audioquest Carbon or Cinnamon.
I have the Carbon to attach my WM1Z in the Sony dock to the TA and the Cinnamon to attach my WM1A in the Sony dock on my other TA.
Finally got the device, first impressions are phenomenal... The synergy with the Utopia is magical!
Anyways, while it's burning in, I'd like to ask a question in regards to Roon ROCK and TA compatibility. Under ROCK there is no option to set up "native DSD" transfer method, only DSD over PCM.
Any ideas?

DSD over PCM is still DSD. It's just the transfer method. It doesn't matter; part of why you paid so much money for your Tazzy is that it can convert PCM to DSD on the fly. Any high quality PCM source will be DSD with DSD remastering on.
If you're a true purist, you'll want a player that can output DSD to DSD and your device should show that.
So when he gets a 1A?
From the Walkman information page:
“Q4: Is native DSD playback possible by USB DAC?
A4: Yes, it is. (DSD 2.8MHz/1bit and 5.6MHz/1bit are supported)
For native DSD playback, a device and an application that support native DSD playback are necessary.
To perform native DSD playback, check the settings and specifications of your playback device and application.”
