Another happy kimber cable user with MDR-Z1R here 👌

And a huge thank you to Mr Walkman for his revolutionary mods that have transformed our listening. You have been so generous with your time and work. Also a thank you to all that have contributed here and provided me with much knowledge, help and fun. I feel real sad.....

I would get the 1a again. Only decision is what the replacement Sony might be releasing, if at all.

Amen to that.

Thanks Mr Walkman for your hard work again! Looking forward to trying this out when I get my 1a back) 🙏👍

As long as there’s nothing fried! 😁

Could try spamming multiple posts🙃

Thanks - I too will stay on safer listening levels.

I’m the same. I don’t think I’m missing anything but at the same time wondering if I am? It sounds great at the volume I’m listening at....

Just out of interest, those of you who have the mdr-Z1r + 1a or 1z, what volume do you listen on low and high gain? I listen 70-80 on low gain and 48-56 on high. I worry about my ears, so wondering if I can go higher if I ever want to try a better sad card. Thanks 🙂

It’s a thing of great beauty!

Did try music centre but couldn’t get used to it. It felt more like it was controlling me and not me controlling it.

My bad - talking about the wrong one! I use Mediago.....

I’ve been using it ever since I got a wm Walkman. Maybe not because it’s the best, but I’m used to it’s interface. I edit my albums and add/change album art easily enough, though don’t tell it to look online or you’ll be watching it’s cogs whirl slowly into action...

want to add Thank you again for all your superb work!

I always listen in a quiet environment. Never bothered to listen to my Sony + MDR on the go or outside. I listen to my phone on the go when looking for new music for my Walkman. Defo hear much more and enjoy more when quiet or dark or both.

That’s what I’m rocking and di love them. Not really a cables person but the kimber kable has made a big difference with these cans.

Hi, on your 1a did you switch to 1z or stayed on 1a using the switcher for this element of your test? Thanks. BTW really interesting and thanks for sharing!

Thanks. Didn’t realise - still new to posting. 😊

Sandisk, not Sandusky...

As penance for my terrible puns, those of you in the UK, Amazon have reduced the prices of the Sandusky micro SD cards, eg 512gb extreme pro is £135.

So DAPman, The DAC Knight Returns? So, sorry! Couldn’t resist...

Me too!

Wow. Thanks for the new update Mr Walkman. Can’t keep up with the improvements you are making. Also big thanks to Whitigir for releasing the Cerberus firmware. So much to try out! Great times to be owning a WM1. Thank you!

Ha ha. Excuse my chubby fingers on my phone. Iromiman strikes again😁
