My starting point was to keep everything zeroed out on factory default settings. The only changes I made were CLOCK>SYNC, REMOTE>ON and INPUT>XLR.
 
Something odd I noticed with D1X. CLOCK>SYNC seems to be a per-input setting rather than a global setting. In N-01 CLOCK>SYNC was a global setting applied to all inputs.

That’s correct. Per input.

Broderic - please tell us how you can spend 60K on a digital front end and make mostly mp3 Spotify sound good when there are so called better alternatives with high rez Tidal / Qobuz?

I am interested and I am sure others are as well. I believe the user interface and music selection of Spotify so much better than the others.
 
The proof is in the pudding. Spotify Premium can sound insanely good. The Spotify algorithm keeps throwing new content at me that I wouldn't otherwise discover, which keeps me smashing the like button or buying CD's. My list of liked songs is so long now I could play continuously for months. Which for $10/mo I do not feel the need to look elsewhere for content to enjoy.

I thought XV-1 was joking until you just confirmed that you really are using Spotify Premium to play compressed 320 kbps files.
 
Oh yeah, I'm a big fan of the Spotify product. I like listening to progressive house, trance, world, electronic etc genres and Spotify covers all of it. You might not be aware but a lot of that content is authored and remixed at 320 kbps. I asked a record producer why they don't publish on CD as you can only source a lot of this new age stuff on Mixcloud or Spotify, etc. He said from a sound quality perspective there is no point to CD because the masters are all 320 kbps computer files. Much of this content is created inside a computer, it's never seen atmospherics or a microphone or recording device outside of a computer. When a computer has been the sole path to musical existence it can sound very good, even when it's been bounced around computer networks all over the world to eventually arrive in my listening room.
 
I have a recording from a Dutch band which could be downloaded for a limited time from their website, when playing the recording I was dissapointed because I saw it was MP3 320 but I keep going back to this recording as it sounds absolutely fantastic. Could the result have been better in highres, I will never know but I do know that MP3 320 can sound very good.
 
I have any number of CD's which sound rubbish compared to what Spotify Premium can sometimes deliver up.
 
I have several Internet-based "radio stations" which I stream (anywhere from 128-320kbps) and I have to say, I'm often impressed at how good the sound quality can be.
