If you have an iPad or an iPhone, those don’t seem to have the problems that Samsung suffers from. All either of those would require is the camera adapter And your choice of either streaming service or a player with built in storage for your files. I’m seriously considering getting an Innuos server for my streamer and perhaps a usb reclocker. Good thing I don’t have kids yet This hobby is proving to be just as expensive.
Yep, I've spent the big bucks on the main components, now I'm into the diminishing returns area of sources and cables etc.
I'm team android, I do have a Mi tablet but prefer to carry all my music on my phone.
I got home from work and tried my S10 - it showed 48/24 correctly for one album and 192/24 correctly for another. It seems 44/16 gets upscaled to 48/24 and dsf 96/24 display as 192/24. I don't know what is going on there but it wasn't locked on 48/24 like you had experienced and there were no pops or crackling - I only tried very quickly but it didn't seem to sound very good, like some resampling was going on and that was using USB Audio Pro with bit perfect settings.

Tsiklon, thank you. So it can be done. I've not really dabbled in USB audio in any meaningful way. I guess it's a basic question, but I've been out of this game for a while and to say it has moved on is an understatement indeed.
Yes, it works like a charm for me, but it’s not my main streaming device. I only use it to quickly burn in cables or new components that require 100+ hours to sound their best. I just leave it on for a week and the process takes care of itself. But the sound quality is decent. You can potentially improve it with Audioquest Jitterbug. As someone mentioned, you can do either the Walkman port or the usb b on the back. I tried both.

Thank you VladYR. I had read about 260 pages of this thread before asking the question, only to find it was asked a few pages back...!
I also have a ZX507 DAP. It doesn't have the greatest battery life while you are running the screen and streaming at the same time. I figure since I've got two old work iPads sitting around doing very little, I'd hammer the battery on them over the ZX507.
It also appears that the TA has been discontinued by Sony in Australia. It's this the case in any other countries? Has a successor been announced? Regardless, I can't find much info.

My usual dealer told me a few weeks ago that the Z1R headphones were recently discontinued. Now the TA is being retired? This is truly bizarre unless they have some substantially improved replacements. Honestly though, the TA was great. It didn’t really lack anything. The somewhat noticeable lack of MQA support was not a problem, especially in light of the recent scandal involving Tidal and that utterly useless file format and its creators/owners.

Essentially that the format is demonstrably lossy, needlessly upsamples high res files to resolutions in which they were never recorded, and that MQA files stripped of some of the data contained in them will still prompt a blue light. A member of this forum published some tracks on tidal, did some testing and found this format to be utterly fraudulent, which wasn’t really a surprise to many.

hi, i would like to ask how long should i use my ta-zh1es? i had a previous model uda-1 and lasted 5 years, using it almost 12hrs daily. i googled up the lifetime of a amp should be around 10years and should b using 2-6hrs per day?

Some capacitors will start to have issues after twenty years. Often people still use them after that. Still I would guess twenty years before some service needs to be done......then your free to still continue using it. I wound not worry much, even with that daily use. Don’t know what Google is referring too?
