    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    What country are you in? I’m in Canada and have a pre-order on the Sony.ca website but there is no indication as to availability. I’m hoping I’ll see it before the end of this year.

    SONY IER-Z1R

    Vamp898, thank you for the detailed and useful responses. Reading up on the output power, from what I understand, 4x output power results in about twice the loudness? Do you find that to be true? Would you happen to know why they made the balanced output more powerful? I have a pair of...

    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    Has anyone tried the following screen protector or found a glass one that fits the NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2? The one from Amazon Japan has shipping costs twice that of the price of the product...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    I really hate selling things because of all the drama of dealing with low-ballers, etc. I tried to search the forum for recommended pairings for the Sony WM1ZM2 and couldn't find anything. I had an iBasso DX80 which I had to have repaired (but iBasso damaged it worse and it was DOA) so this...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    The Z1R was released on 2018 October so they are almost 4 years old. Does anyone have a sense of how often Sony updates their IEMs? I have a NW-WM1ZM2 on "pre-order" in Canada and am looking at getting the Sony or Senn I900. I do get FOMO so I'd hate to buy the Sony IEM and then have them...

    SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

    I am still waiting for my NW-WM1ZM2 to arrive (I'm in Canada) and am wondering if you have ever tried using your HD800 with the Sony player. I haven't picked a really high end pair of IEMs and was considering use my HD800S or Beyerdynamic T1 with the Sony player.

    Is a portable DAP my best option for a source and Schiit Valhalla

    ProtegeManiac. Thank you for the information. I just learned last night that the iBasso DX80 has a line output voltage of 1.6V so that could explain why the volume is a bit low in the Valhalla. Does that make sense? In that case, maybe I should consider the Modi. Hopefully, I can ask a few...

    Is a portable DAP my best option for a source and Schiit Valhalla

    For the last couple of years, I’ve been using an iBasso DX80 into Schiit Valhalla 2 into Sennheiser HD800S/Beyerdynamic T1. I don’t have much time to use the set up and recently realized the iBasso was not working. It was not used much but the buttons on the front just stopped responding and I...

    Denon AH-MM400

    I've actually had the MM400 headphones for almost two weeks but haven't had time to even open the box.  I purchased them primarily because I like the way they look.  I was watching the price of the headphones and when the price dropped a couple of weeks ago, I ordered them.  My first pair of...

    Denon AH-MM400

    I like Adele's music but I find her recordings a bit compressed. Does anyone else find that? I bought a pair of the Denon headphones just on looks and hope they sound as good as I feel they look.

    Denon AH-MM400

    Thanks for the links. I can't really tell from the photos if the cable needs to be removed before fitting into it those cases. That seems to be a common challenge for many cases with wired headphones though.

    Amazon Canada seems to have a good price on the Denon Music Freak AH-MM400 at $315. I don't know if they sound good but I picked up a pair just on looks...

    The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)

    Canada is not included in the deal either for Power Amp. I use Rocket Player because it allows for sorting by Album Artist.

    I've had my DX80 for a couple of weeks now so I will share my experiences since this thread helped me so much. :grinning: I purchased my device from B&H. The first arrived without the shrink wrap, a dented corner and missing accessories. The replacement had all the parts but was also missing...
