New items all sounds sublime @ headfi.
All older items like Sony ZX2, AK240 nowadays nobody bothered to mention anymore.
New toys are always fun to play with.

Totally not true Bengkia.
 
If i could turn back time with what i know now, i'll gladly pick both those players you mentioned. Heck, i'll still pick either AK240 or SS over the 380 in a heartbeat. 
 
Having said that, the 1Z right now is a just a sonically different beast imho and personal preference. It just seduces me with its refinement, articulation and spatial presentation which quite possibly stems from it's "dark like the abyss background ".

Sorry i still dont understand why do one still need to burn in se when the optimised output is in bal? I listen mainly in bal mode.


Because not everyone has balanced headphones.

  Is anybody selling a 4.4mm to 3.5mm SE adapter at the moment? Kinda annoying to have to swap cable to listen to every other device in the world.

 
Do not do this. You can adapt a balanced headphone for use with a single ended device, but please do not try to adapt a single ended headphone for use with a balanced output. You run an incredibly high risk of damaging your gear. It could theoretically work for a device with a 4.4mm output that's single ended, but the NW-WM1 is not that device.

Yep I'm not. I want to use my balanced headphone currently with 4.4mm balanced cable on single ended device with regular 3.5mm jack.
