Can anyone say if the IER-Z1R can be driven sufficiently by the Japanese (uncapped) version of the NW-A306? And what this synergy is like?

Thanks

I followed the guide and it fixed the problems with the drop outs with Bluetooth set to best quality.

Yes it can, volume at 95 I think for me.

Sounds excellent but a bit better out of my BTR7 (balanced). Same wide sound stage on both.

Sold my Z1R now as fit issues vs my M9's which I've used for a while.

Ah, okay, was wondering why. Was not a big fan of the sound signature of the BTR7, but realize most prefer it.

Thanks for the ebay advice... Any Japanese model OK?

Ensure you buy from a Japanese seller and should be Japanese version.

I bought mine from the EBay seller Neetex and they have ‘Genuine Japanese Model’ in the products title

Is anyone able to get the YouTube app to work when using the walkman as a transport out to an external USB DAC?

Guys, I bought the Japanese uncapped version just from Amazon.co.jp (along with a 512GB sandisk extreme micro as card, the iodata wireless CD recorder, the USB power cable for the CD recorder, the iodata analog sound capturer) for 446€ including tax and customs deposit and shipping.

There’s only one a306 in stock that ships to Europe (has to be in Amazon warehouse). They replenish the Amazon warehouse from time to time. Even thought it might not be available for you when you check it You can have it as an option I believe

In any case here’s the link just for the A306

It has plenty of power. That's my portable set up. Sounds good to me.

Guys, I've been following this little gen of a player for quite some time now, through various US websites (I don't live there, but it's usually easier for me to purchase from them) and I've found it hard to come by. I want it to complement my WM1A. Is anyone aware of a good site to get it? Thanks in advance

Normally I'd recommend B&H Photo Video but they are sold out so just go with Best Buy.

So I A-ed last night and I'm B-ing now, and I think it sounds better. The mids sound more forward maybe. Just sounds more cohesive. Or not.
