Much obliged.

Hmm, and where might one acquire these little covers?

? Little raincoats for the Z1R?

Thank you, I appreciate the perspective. I'm going to withhold judgement on the 1A until I get 400+ hours on it, and try some software tweaks to wring every ounce of performance out of her. Listening to a high res version of Abbey Road right now... I am not displeased. :beyersmile:

Wow, great info and insights, thanks for sharing that! I will be patient and am looking forward to experimenting with the various destination and firmware options for the 1A.

Yes, good point about the custom firmware. I need to give that a try.

I don't have a solid technical background, so I'll defer to folks with more knowledge than myself. I can only offer my own subjective opinion. To me the Z1Rs sound superb through the PAW S1. Better than the WM1A to me so far, but that's just an initial impression, and I understand it takes a...

I agree. I had been using the Lotoo PAW S1 with my old iPhone 6s, and it had way more power than I could ever ask for, and sounded superb using the 4.4mm balanced connection. Took deliver of a WM1A, and frankly I'm a little underwhelmed. The only issue is power drain. The Z1Rs are a pretty...

The best online transaction ever. Accommodated my specific shipping request, provided added value to the transaction without being asked, provided excellent communication, packed goods with extra care, and shipped immediately. Highly recommended!

Correct, WM1A uses Sony's own UI. Some in the forums have suggested that Sony's NW-ZX507 (Android-based) works well, and it has a 4.4mm balanced connection. Although I read some dissenting opinions questioning whether it has adequate power.

Thanks, I read something about custom firmware being available out there and getting some good reviews. Just got notice the WM1A will be delivered tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to digging in and experimenting!

This forum's gonna bankrupt me! :beyersmile:

Hoping the Sony WM1A will get me there!

The Sony WM1A is winging its way to me we speak. Waiting impatiently... :dt880smile:

+1 Appreciate +1 Thanks for the recommendation! I don't see how they could sound better but even if there's a slim chance, I'm in!

SONY IER-Z1R - First Impressions I read a ton about these before taking the plunge. Among the things that gave me pause were that 1) the fit was "atrocious" 2) they're heavy, 3) poor sound isolation, and 4) male vocals were subpar. Among the good qualities were impressive detail, technicals...

Hey, thanks very much for the input. I looked around for a used 507 until I found a good deal on the WM1A. Impatiently awaiting delivery...

Definitely a MacOS issue, not the PAW S1.

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated.

Appreciate you sharing your experience and view. Thx.

What's been your experience been like with the ZX-507/IER-Z1R combination? Would you recommend?

I'm about to take delivery of the Z1R. Would you recommend the ZX507 to power it? What's been your experience with the combination?

Yes, looking into Apple Support and will post solution when available.
