I liked the w1a except that it didnt stream Tidal; I would have kept it otherwise-the battery life was good.

Since the 3.01 update it can stream Tidal from your smartphone.

Get out of here. You serious?

Yep, works a bluetooth receiver, only slight issue for me is that it only uses AAC from my Iphone X, however I am getting the Samsung S10+ on Friday so hoping that will stream at a higher codec. Despite that it is still an awesome feature.

Oh I see, BT out from phone to WMA1. I was thinking that Sony put a Tidal App inside the WMA1 like AK did with the SP1000. Still, LDAC sound should be decent and better than aptX HD.

Listening now on Tidal. Sounds great but I wish I had your version!

This is a funny hobby. I've been listening to @Kitechaser recommending YoYo Ma plays Marricone on Tidal via my SP1K and it sounded great. I switched to my phone on a whim and was startled to hear the same quality; both Tidal HiFi. After a few minutes the differences become apparent: on the third track of that album, after 40 seconds, the higher strings begin and my phone throws them out like trash and it ruined the mood whereas my SP1K brought it out in synergy with the other strings; made me almost cry.

Of course, it's also a testament to how good the CL2s are, enabling you to hear these differences.

Funny, I was using the spiral dots that @Kitechaser gave me and they worked better than my Symbios wide, but I tried a smaller spiral dots (medium) and they fit even better. Funny because I have a pretty wide ear canal. Point being that tips, cables, and burn-in make a big difference with the CL2s.

Enjoying the music with coffee and YoYo Ma...

I'll give it to you. Bring me an empty memory card. :)
Ok, next time we meet. I also have a surprise that I will bring (went a little crazy but was always wanting to try it) and I want your opinion.
