My WM1Z came today, the outer Amazon box looked like it had taken more than a few knocks heading over the ocean. Luckily the prize inside was just fine. I updated it it to 1.02 and then set the region to US (high gain is now there), and that couldn't be easier but then again I am familiar with command prompt so I knew what I was doing.

I was pretty surprised to see mine at 1.02 OOTB

Bit of a weird question, my ciems decided to join my laundry for a wash and now the left side is noticeably lower. Tried everything to even it out but to no avail. Does the menu have a left right balance option?

To dry them out, you can try the method used for phones that have fallen into water. Put into a bag of raw rice. Seal it, and leave it for 1-2 days. Some people recommend a week. This method apparently works well for removing moisture. Don't let the rice get into the HP, obviously.

How is your 1z? Would like to hear your comparison with 1a.

Can't provide a fair comparison since my Kimber and Z1R came in along with the 1Z. 1A was only SE for me. Hope you're enjoying it btw!

my 2 days at Canjam NYC, I was stuck at Sony table 2 times demo-ing 1Z with my own sd card. I didn't like the pairing between Z1R and 1Z as I found Utopia was much better out on balance (Utopia is in another league btw). I was using my reference monitor Pristine. Since it was really flat like HD800, I could detect and dense amount of resolution and musicality on 1Z that somehow is better than 1A overall. I'm now really addicted to 1Z sound...i know some people who have gone to canjam and ended up selling their 1A for it....

Ted Allen received a few pieces of those last Wednesday. I had him make me a 2.5 > 4.4 adapter and I got it today.

I think my 1A pairs well with MDR-Z7, gobs of details

Sony new signature pieces, Ta-ZH1ES and WM1Z are both the best sources for Utopia. I briefly owned both Z1R and Utopia. Here is my take on Utopia Vs Z1R. Yeah, WM1Z is awesome for a Portable player, especially when pairing with Utopia out of balanced + Silver-gold cables

If you think wm1Z + Silver - gold cables is good, try TA_ZH1ES with silver-gold cables to Utopia

We just received another shipment of the Sony/Kimber Kable 4.4mm balanced cable. Email us if you want one before they are all gone. No crazy markup... $249 + $10 shipping within CONUS.

It's actually 2 piece screen protector, not case.
