RE: Tech question about Sony HAP Z1 DSEE function


Lossless is lossless. There are no lossless compression 'artifacts'. If there were such artifacts the file wouldn't be 'lossless'.

If your Sony is applying it's "fine sound restoration feature of the DSEE function" to PCM audio sources with lossless compression, it can only be adding it's own 'artifacts' or 'effects'.

So, my question is, do ALL my ( and by extension, Your ) PCM Downloads, from many sources have Lossless Compression artifacts that ( only ) the Sony HAP Z1 is correcting?

I wouldn't give Sony that much credit. Firstly, as mentioned above there is nothing to 'correct'. The Sony can only add its own 'artifacts' or 'effects' by processing (manipulating and mucking with) a perfectly good artifact free PCM file during playback.
