I'll lower it further, kind of funny how it goes to 1, not 0, being someone with OCD it kind of irks me not having 0 :-)

Mostly 96KHz and some 192KHz, very few DSD

Hi nc8000, I just turned off NFC a few days ago, which I suspect would consume power for sure and I don't use it, also, just yesterday I lowered brightness from 25% to 10% which is plenty bright, what I'm going to try to do next is turn off battery saver mode, let it fully drain and charge fully...

Thanks ttt123, I have it in Direct Source, but it is true the player is still going with about 10hrs. and considering with or without use it consumes power, it may not be bad afterall

Hey guys, got a question concerning battery life per charge, I got my WM1Z about a month ago, awesome device and sound, been using it mostly with my MDR-Z1Rs, but trying to put the battery to the test (they were an open box item, so I saved a bit...) I am down to 2 lines after only 5 hours of...

Loved the way you described the sound you experienced out of your setup, now I can't wait to get my hands on a 1Z! The Axios Cu are out of my league (for now) so the Sony branded Kimber Kable for the Z1R will have to do for the time being... I had a hard time justifying my need of a WM to my...

Thanks for this information, never paid attention to the specs of the TA in the Walkman port, now I know better, I'll also look for those early posts from Whitgir on the dock!

Does the cradle beat using the dedicated Walkman connection on the TA-ZH1ES?

Thanks for the input, fit is a concern of mine because it can be heavily dependent on ear shape and size, this is the more true of IEMs than full size headphones, don't know of a place nearby I could try them on nor if I would want to (IEMs going inside the ear and all... you know)

Thanks for the suggestion, chances are the 1Z will be splitting duties 50/50 between on the go and transport for speakers / headphones at home via TA

Thanks Whitigir, just what I was hoping to hear! I'll start saving for the IER as they seem to be well regarded by most if not all owners / reviewers, plus the portability and somewhat discreet nature of them helps a lot with a DAP, as it is, I was mocked in the office with my "lowly" HD-598s...

Hello guys, new to the forum, hoping you could help me answer a pressing question, I love well build, quality things and I'm normally willing to pay the premium that that entails, that said, a quality build is just half the story for me, as I like to think of everything I buy as lasting forever...
