HAP-Z1ES and UDA-1

[Sonyaudio1]

Hi!

Uda-1 connect with usb cable to the HAP-Z1ES and doesn't convert the DSD files (different size or format), just 192 khz and lower files.

(uda-1 and vaio with dsd works perfect!) 

Why?

What is the problem and what is the solution?

Please, answer this. 

Thanks.

uh HAP-Z1ES=> UDA-1 =>Audio?

why woudl you do that? HAP-Z1ES audio board is milestone better than UDA-1!

but to output DSD from HAP-Z1ES you have to enable the feature in the setting menu. Maybe it's off by default

Yes, I know this.

But simetimes I use the Z7 headphone.

I enabled Dsd output, so I don't understand this problem.

Rather, the fact is that it doesn't work...this bothers

[Sonyaudio1]

Here is the problem:

Uda-1 compatible with Dsd 2.8 MHz...

I can only think that Sony is intentionally restricting the connection between the two devices, is that possible?

Hey Sonyaudio1, The USB DAC AMPLIFIER can play High-Resolution Audio files such as PCM 192 kHz/32 bit and DSD (Direct Stream Digital) audio files. so it is supported.

[Sonyaudio1]

ok but the feature still doesn't work with UDA-1

but the Dsd output works with PHA-3

UDA-1 + notebook perfect with Dsd.

I am clueless

@Sonyaudio1, tbh the devices are ancient and I'm not sure why this is happening, try troubleshooting both devices and see the outcome:

Stupid question but are you using the rear USB port from USA-1?

from your device list you better use PHA-3 and its balanced output with Z7 ^^ better than UDA-1
