There is one. And it's pretty dealbreaking for me in terms of rock/pop streaming. All streamers use loudness war wrecked remasters - with crushed dynamic range - from Bowie to Zeppelin. Part of the vinyl revival - for those that actually have record players - is probably down to it being...

Yes. I have 1z & 1a. Reviews in signature. The 1ZM2 is light years better than the og 1Z. It has a euphonic quality BUT with detail retrieval. I work in audio. With 1ZM2 I can assess differences in recording remastering in the same classical recording - between hires pcm flac and dsd .dsf...

Wow. That is disconcerting about 1.08.

How has it changed Direct to you feel? Are you using IEM, overears or both?
