Hey there, Did you ever figure out how to get the volume indicator permanently on the top bar? Really miss this feature.. Thanks

Omg, calm down guys.. it's just a Certification Label sticker !!! No snake oil here, jeez... :beyersmile:

Here's some proof from my own camera :heart_eyes:

All joking aside.. the gold-plated chassis and my joy of looking at it every morning makes it all worth it :smile: I think that counts for something... Will let others comment on the sound hahaha..

For the IER-Z1R, I can't comment about the 320MAXTi but I definitely prefer Blondie with DSEE Ultimate over the DX320X with Amp 14. The tonality over most genres, bass quality and depth is a step up for me.. YMMV.

Hey Boodi, For 90% of all my friends who start with "what is a good headphone/IEM"? My first response is the Airpods Pro 2.. it's just "good enough" for most people especially iPhone fans. The adaptive noise cancelling, the 3D sound DSP and interoperability in Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Macbook...

Honestly, if you don't need the power to drive big headphones, then the 1AM2, 1ZM2 sounds the best to me. And if you got an AM2, I think there is minimal difference to ZM2.. like you need to A/B it just to hear the difference.. I would just keep enjoying 1AM2 and carry on :smile: Side update...

Updated my list for WM1ZM2 on top of the list.. it's glorious when paired with the IER-Z1R, quite mind blowing and musical when going thru my entire library. It's also an eyecatcher and conversation starter in the officer :beyersmile: If you are on a tighter budget, prefer lighter DAP or...

I don’t recommend 1ZM2/1AM2 to power full sized headphones, especially on 3.5mm. My 600Ohm Beyerdynamic T1 1st Gen sounds quietly soft so I don’t even bother. If you look at MDR-Z1R meant for these players, the impedance is 64Ohm. Anything more than, say 100 Ohm probably will not be optimally...

Haha, great to know that it's not just me then :smile:

Hi all, Just got back from India and have a funny experience to share re. 1ZM2 (I call her Goldie). So, I was at the Delhi Airport immigration security check and put aside my laptops and phones for screening with the rest of the stuff in my bagpack.. Then suddenly, the officer shouts "Who's bag...

To be honest, I'm a skeptic.. hehe

I don't hear hear the difference between languages yet... :beyersmile: Do I need to reboot or something? or just move the languages up and down the order? BTW, is there an option to permanently show the current volume on the top-bar (like battery %)? It's by default on DX320 - It's quite...

What's the next best card after Swissbit and Micron? I don't have either on my local e-commerce platforms or IT shops.. I see Sandisk, Kingston, Lexar, Samsung, ADATA.

I agree with you - Amp14 is overall a better all-rounder card than Amp 13.. It brings a really clean sound and I rarely hear the quirks of the tube amp. Amp13 on the other hand brings quite sweet female vocals for acoustic tracks and I do hear the bass having a slower, more organic decay...
