Just ordered Lotoo Paw D1 digital interface for my Xduoo XD05 Pro. Intended to use at home to connect my phone to XD05 Pro using Lotoo Paw D1 via optical cable. Basically it's a digital to digital interface. Will do a review on it when I got my hands on it. Not sure how good or bad it is?!

Personally I feel WM1AM2 is too lightweight after I hold WM1ZM2 side by side. Preferred WM1ZM2 for the heft feel it's a higher grade product. Your milage might differ.

Trullis HA8802 (the black op-amp holder needs to remove if you want to use it with the Ufeel buffer otherwise cannot fit) plus Ufeel MK8 op-amp buffer. The lid can be closed this way and sounds really like tube amp.

I highly recommend Sony Signature series Walkman, I feel it's very musical and very enjoyable to listen to.

Wow, I don't know Sony uses so many big custom capacitors that developed by Sony for audio! Great and happy to know that 😁

Might not be so high end as many in this water cooler thread, but this Sony WM1ZM2 with Audio Technica ATH-IEX1 combo sounds really good for female vocals! 😍

I'm just loving this combination Sony WM1ZM2 + Audio Technica ATH-IEX1 (with Vortex Eddie Square cable). Female vocals sounds really really good on this setup! 😍

Sure, you can bring your own iem and test. Pls also let me test your setup.

U stayed in Singapore as well right? If U keen to try I can let U try mine ROHM with HA8802 with Ufeel MK8.

I'm using this case, very well made!

Yup, totally agreed! 👍

I think signature series are not volume capped. This combo just sounds damn incredible! 😍

Don't have any issue on noise floor be it ESS or ROHM.

For me using ROHM DAC with Trullis HA8802 + Ufeel MK8 buffer, I prefer Filter 1.

I was told within this year.

Best sounding DAP imo especially with Audio Technica ATH-IEX1! 😍

I know that guy but I in a camp that not interested all his graph thingy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater but feel that sound cannot be judged by graph alone. The most funny thing is that guy mentioned he put off some iems just by looking at the graph 😂 Graph is a 2D thing and can never...

I feel the ROHM have more forward and fuller mids with a little compromise on the details compared to ESS. I mostly listen to female vocals and ROHM sounds nicer to me. I just installed Ufeel buffers on my HA8802 op-amps, feel it's even better! HA8802 already had that tube sound which I love and...

The only thing is V6 and V7 is too big, can't close the lids. Otherwise, I would highly consider.

I wonder how Burson V7C with Ufeel buffer ?!

There is a Xduoo XD05 Pro thread in this forum, you can read more about it. Personally, I highly recommend this as it's very good sounding and able to drive from sensitive iems to high demanding headphones. The sound quality can match even high end DAPs!

How much better is WM1ZM2 better compared to WM1AM2?

I'm enjoying mine with ROHM module & Trullis HA8802 op-amps (very analog tube sound) on my Xduoo XD05 Pro. With Audio Technica ATH-IEX1, it sounds really awesome!
