I'm in the Sony room on the 8th floor. Holy crap does the NW-WM1Z weigh a lot!



Z1R has very good bass impact and lush mids. But like the Z7, the Z1 sounds a little rolled off on the top end to me. Sony really doesn't like treble.


:D and many people don't think it is the "mother of Z7" or the "Z7non andrenaline". How is 1Z ? More detail in 1Z please...and not the Z1r :D


It's a DAP that weighs 5lbs.

Why Head-fi did not include the "model of model" for us to request stickers/stamps from?

Awesome event! Loved it!

@Jude Muito Obrigado!

As the second person to turn in the SHaG card, I recommend the rest of you just forget about it. Just listen and enjoy yourselves. It's not worth it for you to fill out your cards as it reduces my chances to win. :wink:

 
Yea I didn't even know where to go to get a card. I just went around to enjoy stuff. Oh well I won't qualify for prizes... I did pick up the 1more IEM. $85 so cheap why not? They sound great.

I didn't know either! Was still fun. Oh well.

$5000 for headphones and Amp/DAC

Clearity of electrostats. Audeze level bass.


Is it an electrostatic setup ? Are the Amp & headphone sold together as 1 set-up ? Booth made by Sonoma ? Can the Amp drive a Stax SR009 ?

It's only being sold as a combo unit according to their rep. Don't know if it's compatible with other electrostatic headphones. I believe the amp/dac was DSP tuned specifically for their headphone. If anyone was wondering the amp dac will not function as a preamp as it has no outputs.

excerpt (emboldings are mine, just to pop out interesting points)
''Day two in the big top. Man there's a lot of IEM makers in here. Maybe it's because the barriers to entry are low,
but I sure wouldn't want to be in that business...the competition is fierce. Worse, each manufacturer has
numerous products in the line, oft times touting a different tuning for each product. Headphones have gotten
a lot better over the last few years, but I don't see the same progress on the in-ear side...or not as much anyway.
Too many bright IEMs, it seems to me. I want to see someone who has a line that's nicely tuned throughout...
and guess what, I did find a company with such a line. We'll get to that down the page."

excerpt:
And last but not least for today, had a listen to the new JH13 Pro V2 and JH 16 Pro V2.
On quick listen I felt they were both incremental improvements over previous models.
But the one that caught my ear was the new JH3X Pro, a $599 3-driver custom in-ear.
Really a nicely balanced, straight down the middle, entry level custom. After hearing the
Astell&Kern Michelle universal fit, I've got to believe it's based on this new JH Audio model.

I'll have to see what he says. We were moving through the same booths in parallel for a bit and I chatted him up about some of the gear we were trying. We agreed about some and agreed to disagree about others :wink:
