MDR-Z1R fit it just fine. I have it, and I enjoy it

Nvm, GLWS

Ibasso is pretty lousy in usb out, coax out though is pretty amazing. You may want to try that instead, but you are capped out at DSD64

Usb as digital sound is just so so. Coax and optical are more for dedicated sources. It is not just all about noises , but also the interfaces in itself as well. USB was designed to be a universal interface and not dedicatedly audio signals only. There are differences to be heard between all...

1AM2 could be that cheap, but 1ZM2 could not. The chassis for the OG 1Z is $1050 for part

No, only 1AM2 does it!! I am just kidding , the Walkman auto refresh database each time you plug in usb and trigger MTP mode, regardless if you did or not added new files

Digital out can be done via usb C or Coax, and you need no amp module for that

lol, it seems this topic is like “cancer”, you can’t ever cure it

Also both ier z1r and 1 more triple

As in internal wires ? That will bring upgraded performances to the 1A M2 very obviously. By using the same upgraded materials, the mod 1A will outperform a stock 1Z (Kimber isn’t all that good, but definitely better than stock OFC). Then 1Z will pull ahead once more if applying the same mod...

Having the M2 Z for a while now. I can say that the ability to have the music notes “pop” out of nothingness is the most amazing thing about the new Walkman M2. I have had many different setups, especially portable players. What places the high end away from mid tier nowadays is no longer the...

Soundstage is still a very subjective matters. Many years back, when I started out to achieving myself a pair of 800s, I started to think it was somewhat artificial as the soundstage didn’t seem like it was coming from a headphones. But over the blessed years where I had experienced different...

Time for an upgrade ! 😂

There isn’t possible

This is a first that I have seen being this way. Thanks for the reports ! One way to know about a failed amp module :)

That is an interesting question, could be only for dx320 and not 300 ? 😂 who knows ? At least Ibasso is doing what I think they are doing, once again, leading the market. Non of the current flagship out there could implement Discrete buffers. I knew Ibasso could host them and put in so much...

Really ? I don’t use it much and I havent bothered . Did you guys know that the dx240 just got an update to discrete buffer amp module amp8 ? Look like what I have been doing will be coming soon with amp12 MKII for dx300 :)

I wouldn’t recommend using the TaZ that way, but that is all up to you. From between 110 and 220, there are differences in phases as well as voltages. The transformer inside the TAZ isn’t even meant to be interchangeable between 110-220V either, and not recommended by Sony. Why cares about...

Well, why go through all that troubles for battery ? Sony stuff has battery to last forever, even PlayStation controllers lol!! And my Zx2 still kicking after many years. Also Sony parts will always stay available until they drop the whole Walkman thing

I use all kind of chargers with Walkman, I don’t see any issues at all, slow or fast. If one do care about battery longevity, the noises from a charger can degrade the battery. But all Of the chargers are only about safety, speed and power, non of them cares about power ripples and noises …. Lol

Just debloat it, and you should be good

Agreed, my 800s is also being driven adequately and nicely

This mod replace the Opamp with Burson audio V6 Classic, so the whole amplification is discrete Class A through and through

The at is it

It is sealed around the ears just fine. The MDR Z1R is huge! But it is very comfortable
