Oversampling Setting On Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player

To those who own a Sony HAP-Z1ES HSS Player, which setting do you prefer regarding oversampling? I tried both normal (default) and precision and after going back and forth many times, I found normal to sound best to my ears.

What are others hearing?

    • I see Digikey listing PCM1704 at $72 each (not the K version), Ebay got the K version listed for similar price..


    Thanks Coli but no luck.

    Looked like Digikey "may" have some old stock, just tried to buy a couple, to put away for spares. Unfortunately your right coli, there are no "K" versions for the public.

    The non "K" version which is the one I don’t really want, but would have accepted, even though it said 1 for $84, ended up being you had to purchase 38 units.

    Then it said this, "Part Status: End of Life; Last Time Buy Date: 02-03-2016"

    I wouldn’t touch eBay ones as there are fakes, just like their doing fakes with the other sort after R2R dac the TDA1541.


    Cheers George

    I have MW Sony HAP Z1-ES and prefer normal with DSD remastering disabled.

    Knghifi,
    Would the disabling of dsd remastering apply only to pcm files?
    When playing dsd files, would the dsd remastering be on by default or can you still choose to switch it off?
    Thanks in advance.

    All non DSD files.   With DSD Remastering enabled, edges are smoothed out a bit.

    Yes.  Cannot down sample and disable
