![]() Its layering goes deep into the void and even extends its height for a grander sense of scale. ![]() There’s a roomy, feeling to the Z1R that keeps its imaging in a more noticeable box of sound, but its extension is far wider and gives the music a ton of space to propagate. It’s improved by the Z1R’s resonance-free housing which uses special filters to control air resistance and eliminates destructive noise caused by driver movement.Ī closed-back headphone in this price range can still have its limitations, but the MDR-Z1R makes the best of those limitations to reproduce an excellent soundstage. This promises an output with a wide dynamic range and a more sizable signal flow. One of the Z1R’s main staples is its huge 70mm dome dynamic driver with a CCAW voice coil. I thought the Z1R had great isolation and my ears still had enough room to breathe and avoided getting hot. The earpads and headband material are also very soft and comfortable, being made from sheepskin and prioritizing a non-fatiguing fit after numerous listening hours. You’d think by the size that the Z1R would be a lot more weighty, but they actually have a lightweight feel to them. The material on the headphones is two big earcups is clean and unique, and it also bulges outward. ![]() Since making this change, I have had no AirPlay issues at all.īe sure to follow Apple TV Hacks on Twitter, Facebook or Google+ for all the latest Apple TV-related news.The Z1R has a sort of funny design. I have also had intermittent, and frustrating, issues with AirPlay either not connecting, taking a very long time to connect, or not working at all. To disable IPv6 on your Airport, launch Airport Utility and go to Edit -> Internet -> Internet Options and uncheck the “Enable IPv6 Connection Sharing” box. At this point, I’m content having things work again, and while troubleshooting SSL is a great Friday activity over beers, I think I’ll just binge watch some X-Files instead. I haven’t done a capture from the external side of the Airport as of yet to see what the ‘IPv6 Connection Sharing’ was breaking in the SSL stream, but there is obviously a bug somewhere. Wireshark showed the difference – SSL connection is successfully negotiated without a problem. Netflix quickly loaded as if nothing had ever been wrong. So, now the question was, is this related to IPv6, or is something else broken with Netflix/Apple TV? I disabled IPv6 connection sharing on the Airport Extreme and tried again. There were duplicate packets, and it appears the SSL connection never really got much past the TCP connection establishment before ending the connection. I changed the filter to the MAC of the Apple TV, and could now see that something was happening after the DNS lookup, but that whatever was happening didn’t appear to be working very well. Very strange…Īfter doing some more digging, I discovered that this was NOT actually the case – the Apple TV was just switching to IPv6, which I had filtered out of my Wireshark view. The first thing I noticed is when I attempted to launch the Netflix app, the Apple TV would immediately do a DNS lookup for a hostname, but did nothing from there for basically 50 seconds until the “currently unavailable” screen popped up. As my Airport Extreme, my Ethernet switch, and Apple TV devices are all in the same cabinet, this was fairly simple to accommodate. ![]() I configured port mirroring on my Ethernet switch so I could see traffic heading to and from the Apple TV (I keep my Apple TV’s wired if at all possible, saving wireless bandwidth for other devices). I’ve written previously about how Apple TV handles ‘applications’, so this was halfway between trying to fix a problem and hopefully learning something new. Obviously if Netflix was running on Roku and computers, the problem wasn’t with Netflix themselves, and today I decided to break out Wireshark to see exactly what was happening when the Apple TV tried to load Netflix.
