USB from HAP-Z1ES to DP-720
Has any members being able to get Sony HAP-Z1ES's new firmware update, which now outputs digital via USB, to work with Accuphase DP-720. If so how.
I am thinking I have to some how get the USB drivers disk into Sony but have no idea how to do this. Any comments welcome. |
USB from HAP-Z1ES to DP-720
This is from another post I made on the same connections into a TEAC UD503 which also requires ASIO drivers. Try these steps to get it to work with your Accuphase DAC.
---------- Quick update on the HAP-Z1ES I have set up for a friend and on using the USB output. The question has been whether or not it would work with a DAC that requires ASIO drivers such as the Esoteric/TEAC DACs that I own. I have the Sony connected to my vintage system in SC running by coax into my McIntosh C35 and via WW Platinum Starlight USB into a TEAC UD-503. Of course, it sounds great via the coax. I continue to impressed with the electronics inside the Sony. You must make two changes for the Sony USB output to work. First, in the 'Settings' - 'Audio settings' sub-menu, you must set 'USB Digital Output' to 'Auto' and Second you must set 'DSD Output (DoP) to 'On'. Using the USB output works well streaming all my 16 and 24 Bit FLAC and DSD files. |
I believe that most provided USB drivers are for Windows PCs, and since the Sony does not use Windows they would be pointless. Many (but not all) USB DACs work fine when connected to the Sony's USB output without requiring any additional drivers, if you feel that your external DAC outperforms Sony's internal DAC.

That is what I understand as well. The key to getting the USB output to work for me, was adjusting the output settings within the Sony. |

This HAP -Z1ES will go to its owner this Tuesday so I decided to check it out on my system this morning to see if it will play over its USB output to my K03X.
The answer is Yes. Configured as I mention above. Note the K03x reads DSD2.8 and is only connected to the Sony via USB. https://www.audioaficionado.org/atta...0&d=1494778653 Attachment 50360 |
Note I have already tried these settings. Still not working.
