In Reply to: Info from Sony on Z1 Upsampling choices posted by oldmkvi on November 4, 2016 at 12:19:04:
When it's set to Auto, the Blue light stays on all the up to 24/192, only turning off for DSD.
So is it processing 24/96 and 192 files like it does for mp3/internet radio?
I found a particular 16/44 cd rip that I liked better with Normal Upsampling instead of Precision.
According to the Info attached above, in addition to more math being applied, there is Bit-Expansion.
The "Virtuosi" SHM CD Rip definitely sounded better in Normal, brighter and a bit sharper transients
with Precision, and less "Natural".
So I'm on board with that, and will do some comparisons on turning off DSEE, except for Internet Radio.
I can't see liking it without the Remastering Engine, but I'll check that again after the other stuff.
