Not sure if thas have been posted yet, but there is this french article (Auto Translate works pretty well) about the TA-ZH1ES that shows a lot of in-depth insight
It shows the two power supplies, the separate boards, the downside of the board (containing the Analog Amp), the AKM Chips that are used for A/D Conversion of the Analog input and upscaling and so on.
Yes, a very thorough review. I read it late last year. I find it interesting that they speak highly of the pre-out (into a stellar test system) even though it doesn’t seem to get much respect on this thread. I use the pre-out into a much more modest system and I am very happy with the fidelity.
To be honest, i never tried the pre-out, but i don't have any device that i could use it with. All i do with my TA-ZH1ES is plug headphones into it and listen to music^^ but i am 100% satisfied with it.

Ah, I see. I didn’t have any plans to but I starting using the unit as a preamp to take advantage of the DSD upscaling on CDs, etc. I just love the flexibility of this thing.
I have no strong feelings about DSD Remastering. I tried it on and off like 1000 times and still i can't decide if its better or not. Sometimes i have the feeling that with DSD Remastering Enabled, it sounds more like an Analog Amp. Sometimes i like that, sometimes not.
I have it off because... i don't know... i just don't care enough to turn it on^^ but i heard lots of times that for some people, its the definitive feature for them.

So Sony is still believing in this technology to be the best and is still developing it. Maybe there will be an successor to the TA-ZH1ES with higher output some day
Hey guys, does anybody know if GS-X Mini will be a noticable upgrade over the TA? I'm thinking about using the TA as a DAC and hooking up the Mini to it's Line Outs.
P.S. I know that TA is still going to apply some of its own processing to the sound.
Hi TA owner, just recently get the TA to pair with the Z1R. I want to see any of you have use the TA as a DAC for PC audio through the back USB port. It seems there is a very slight lip sync / audio video sync issue for my setup. Any one has similar experience?
I understand it is not intended for movies, but other than just using portable music player through usb port for music. I connect my laptop for some youtube concert and music video listening as well. It seems there is a very slight audio delay there. Any idea?
For people with the TA-ZH1ES and wonder how to connect the new NW-WM1AM2 and NW-WM1ZM2 it's fairly simple, a USB-C to micro cable will do the trick, I tested just now it worked perfectly
