And with the greatest of respect I have no need whatsoever to justify my purchase. I'm simply trying to rebalance the thread.

I've now had my Vita for near two years, one of the first. No problems at all with build quality, in fact very impressed. Sound is beautiful, a few software connectivity issues but Kevin at the support desk has been first class. I use it as both a Roon endpoint and player in its own right. And...

To be honest, i've been using both now for nearly 2 years, I love the sound from QOBUZ and the more esoteric selection and recommendations, but I still use TIDAL for "Classic" rock and Prog. I'm now in a place where I doubt I could do without either........... BTW, try listening to the new...

I found several bugs, but after updating to QOBUZ version 4.0.20 and Android 8.0 all good. Still a few issues playing 24/96 and 24/192 though...

Interesting, didn't know that existed. Tried it, works perfectly here on my Mobile. ( Sony Xperia XZ Premium )

Far better selection of music than Tidal, far better suggestions as well. I'm thinking of now dumping Tidal now.

They are having issues with older versions of Android. Not sure what OS is on the microRendu. The latest version of the App (17 I'm on) allows 24bit streaming.... Their help desk replies to emails quickly...

110 hours into burn in..... Sounding sublime...

I'm using the Sony Signature MDR-Z1R's with my WM1A.... Ive said it before, just sublime.....

With my newly acquired WM1A I'm using Sony's own MDR-Z1R's, sublime......!

No I'm not on my other DAP, but this thread in for non streaming DAPs WM1A & Z.

Ibasso's own website has it in the discontinued section, not even available for purchase. I tried...

..... TWO 1Zs.... For Spotify? Really?

Don't disagree, well I might actually, but I think you'll find the Z1Rs are not BT and are a very revealing 'phone. The 1000x are BT I agree but again are not very forgiving of lo-res output.

So I've been using a Xperia XZ premium with Sony MDR-1000x and Sony MDR-Z1R phones for several months now and love it. My go to for my vinyl rips is my NW-ZX2 I must admit but for travelling to and from work and at work the Xperia is beautiful.......

From the IBasso site they appear to have discontinued the AMP4.....? And are pushing the AMP3 with 2.5mm TRRS Balanced....... ???

Thinking about a Dx200 for Hi-Res streaming and offline import purposes. Anyone using one for Tidal and/or QOBUZ?

Wonderous old skool.......

OH Oh gawd....... Just as I'd decided to jump in to the 1Z pool.....

Actually I like the fact it's so pure. I'll learn to live with two devices (well two more I should more accurately say). WM1Z here I come.......

HI..... I'm running QOBUZ on my ZX2 successfully, its a bit slow, but when it plays its gorgeous. However, I just upgraded to Sublime+ and the 24/96 and 192 hi-res are "impossible to play" so it says...... Very annoying.

Ermmm, I don't think I said it was needed feature..... Only for me it is...... That's a different thing entirely..... In fact, to be honest, what I'm considering is a WM1Z for my vinyl collection to replace the NW-ZX2 I've had for years and an iBasso DX200 for streaming and reviewing.

Really..... You're not looking very hard. They have by far the best selection of newly released esoteric electronica..... Between them and Bandcamp. Anyway, for me it's like the modern day equivalent of going to the record store and asking to hear something. Then, if I like it, I'll import it...
