Hmm..wonder why there is no detail review of sp1000m gold. Anyone care to share the review links if you know of any?

Nice, how does it compare in terms of sound to the N8 and the WM1Z?

Why not reference any SP1000m review? It probably sounds quite similar if not the same.
I spent some time at CanJam NYC with the Sp1000m gold and the SP1000cu listening to the same Pat Metheny album and the 2 players have a really, really similar sound signature, I couldn’t detect and differences, unfortunately there is always some background noise that doesn’t help.
I have to say I really like the dimension of the smaller player, if I didn’t have already the sp1000, the gold would be on the top of my list.

Based on what i heard at the CJ NYC show today, SPKM Gold tonality is closer to SPK CU (being warmer and a little thicker/fuller body in lower mids with iems I tested), while SPKM is closer to SPK SS. Also, SPKM Gold soundstage is a touch wider than SPKM, and I find it closer to SPK soundstage expansion.

Thanks for your real life feed back. It's quite tempting...

visit https://audio46.com/ - they had a special CanJam NYC show coupons for yesterday/today, it pops up when you click on their website. Tony (the owner of audio46, their store is right in Manhattan) was at the show with their own table, a really nice guy. Ping them to see if they can help you with a deal.
