    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    I listened to the 64audio Fourte Blanc with my ZM2 for a few hours this week and really loved the imaging and soundstage width compared to my Sony M9’s. Also found myself being able to completely relax and loosing time listening, maybe because of that APEX air venting. Anybody else use or...

    Has anybody been able to successfully get a ‘DSD-Remastered’ signal to output via usb to an external DSD capable DAC? Essentially being able to use the Sony Walkman as a DSD upscaling streamer with Spotify etc (like HQ Player)

    I have only compared the Swissbit to the 1zm2 Internal storage. But thats a good question, I will order one of the decent brand consumer grade micro sd card and report back :)

    Just tried the Swissbit S-55u with my fully burnt in 1Zm2 & M9’s. Didn't have any expectations that I would be able to hear a difference between the Swissbit and Internal. Suffice to say, Im impressed by the meaningful improvement and am now a believer in Industrial SD cards for sound quality...

    Ive noticed when using the 1zm2 as a source, with usb output to an external dac, that only the walkman app works, none of the streaming apps like Qobuz etc. Is there a setting somewhere to fix this? Streaming apps to the same dac via usb works fine with an iphone & ipad

    Has anyone been able to use a 1A/1Zm2 as an external usb DAC for native DSD such as from HQplayer upsampling? I can get PCM to work fine but not DSD so I'm assuming it’s only PCM in usb dac mode?

    I ordered an AM2 but had a chance to listen to the ZM2 at the Melbourne hifi show 2 weeks ago. Only took me a few mins to hear that the ZM2 is a very special piece of kit and worth the money over the AM2 to my ears. I suspect the enhanced digital ground of the copper chassis really is a...

    I have an (NZ Made :) Antipodes Oladra music server, and the case is milled from a billet block of Aluminium with special isolation feet and weighs about 25kg. Certainly sounds great! Would be interesting to take the ‘guts‘ out of the solid case to see how much that makes a difference to the...

    Coca Cola has to fade in its appeal before you might appreciate single malt whisky. To jump straight to the whiskey might put you off beverage all together, especially at the cost. I guess our hobby can often be a lot to do with the journey towards some imagined top of the mountain. You raise an...

    Nice 👍 . I remember being a kid and enthusiastically showing off my DIY oxygen free copper cables that I made by soldering several short bits together 🤣 Honestly think I had more pure joy in my ignorance back then, than all the pleasure I get from the stupid $ invested in solid silver cables...
