I'm happy to have both, albeit bought used. Can you tell the sound difference between 1A Chameleon 2 and 1Z stock 3.02? Unfortunatelly each time you know which one is playing. A "Blind test" would be good.

Maybe to push 4.4 to people? mmm, that could be it yes... 4.4mm jack is Sony's propietary right? It's not actually.

Maybe the DSD playback on one output choice was a battery life issue? It's actually amazing just how much potential was scaled back(!)

Thank you for the info, I was convinced 4.4mm was Sony's creation.

This of.playomg DDD Natively on the 4.4 output only, I always thought it is a software flag (true/false boolean variable) and I think it was done more to push people to try out the new plug format by limiting what the 3.5 could do

Thank you, SirWalkman , for this new achievement: DMP-Z1 FW for A/Z! Will listen to it tonight defo! The only thing I am wondering about before I hear that: DMP is a DAC player, no S-Master, how they've managed to make it sound even more 3D? Their FWs are very tricky DSP wise...

Sony is amazing with DSP, in my opinion. It's interesting how they're doing all this, but at the same time they're expecting us to believe it's only because of different components. Sneaky But they're still good guys - especially because we now have these options.

Every dac chip & circuit has some dsp, so it makes sense Sony implement thier own, obviously superior dsp , where as others just go by standard schemes already laid out by the manufacturer of the dac chips.
I remember from the early days of the "O2" amp and dac chip how the designer was complaining about this fact that how manufacturers just take for granted stock schematic design and not really optimize the dac circuits.
