Thank you! I'll give it a shot. 🤞

Anyone's earhooks breaking down and leaving a sticky residue?😩

I have the hd600 as well, but I've bought a iFi Zen Can to attach to the Tazzy so I can use that sweet X-Bass button. Sounds fantastic. I Might upgrade to the hd660s2, since I quite liked it when I went to e-earphone in Tokyo and demo'ed. The IER-Z1R, I plug directly into the balanced port of...

Can anyone comment on how the Elysian Annihilator sounds vs Storm?

21 drivers? KZ has entered the chat.

Beauty. 😁

IER-Z1R is so fun with that X-Bass. IMO, feels like a better version of the empire ears legend x. RCA to 3.5mm?

Might be illegal as an audiophile. Added an iFi Zen Can to my set up with the tazzy. IER-Z1R balanced off the tazzy for critical listening. Zen Can X-bass for that extra dirty slam/fun😁.

Thanks! Helps a lot. I tried out the cayin n8ii at e-earphone in tokyo with my ier-z1r and am definitely reminiscent about the tube sound. Might pick up a wooaudio firefly gen 1 amp to pair with my taz.

Hi guys. Just wondering what the preout is for, is it only for powered speakers or is it possible to use it with a tubeamp?

The zx707 is a nice piece of kit, much snappier than the 507. They have it on demo here in pretty much every electronic store, paired with the z7m2. Its quite nice. The M17 is just amazing with electronic music, doesn't leave me wanting. The tubes on the n8ii gives it a tinge of warmth that...

Visiting tokyo and visited e-earphone. What a treat to go, played with daps with the z1r, managed to try the Susvaras. Tried all the TOTL IEMs from diff companies. DAPs I enjoyed the z1r the most is the Cayin N8ii , and the Fiio m17. IEMs that I enjoyed other than the Z1R with my WM1A is the...

The MTV Unplugged version is 💦💦

For your use case, I think a TWS like Galaxy Buds Pro 2 would be a good alternative.

90? 78 is my sweetspot for wm1a and z1r combo.90 drives the z1r quite loud, to the point that it hurts my ears

Looks like the Fiio CL06.

I have the same one and it works perfectly with WM1A + the wmport.

Would love to know your thoughts.

Definitely a rabbit hole, but thats what we all seem to love here haha. I got hd600, ier-z1r, TA, and WM1A. Can comfortably walk away now. If i was to buy anything else. It would probably be Sony's next flagship headphones or focal utopias.

Nope. Everything stock, connected the walkman with the stock wmport to micro usb cable that came with the TA. It charges my wm1a while connected which is perfect. Then TA with IER-Z1R with the stock balanced cable. I don't have the trained ears to justify the additional costs of expensive...

Just got my TA. Using wm1a as a transport, defs sounds better than tidal master streamed off my phone. I think I've reached my end game with IER-Z1R and TA-ZH1ES. Stayed up until 2am listening to music. Too addicting to stop.

I think @Whitigir connects his to a tube amp. Depends on what headphones you have I guess would be the real answer

I got my TA coming in the mail. Excited to listen to it. Hopefully it will play well with my hd600 and ier-z1r.
