Oversampling Setting On Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player

To those who own a Sony HAP-Z1ES HSS Player, which setting do you prefer regarding oversampling? I tried both normal (default) and precision and after going back and forth many times, I found normal to sound best to my ears.

What are others hearing?

Knghifi,
Would the disabling of dsd remastering apply only to pcm files?
When playing dsd files, would the dsd remastering be on by default or can you still choose to switch it off?
Thanks in advance.

All non DSD files.   With DSD Remastering enabled, edges are smoothed out a bit.

Yes.  Cannot down sample and disable

Here is a link, on what their doing to the Hap-Z1ES, by some that know their stuff, but I don’t know if it will equal or be better than the Esoteric’s PCM1704 equipped multibit convertor for Redbook replay.
