I'd be quite surprised if it works because the hardware is different. For instance the Walnut V2 is also a headphone amp while the Z1 is also a USB DAC.

Different beasts are fed differently, IMHO.

No, amp just works fine and it was mentioned by a member here

I would make sure I have the original firmware, to reinstall - just in case the update attempt goes pear-shaped...

Pause playback, then next/prev

Thank you, how do we pause playback? Don't see that piece of info anywhere

I'm just about done with my final thoughts about my Op-amp rolling observations...my winner is probably what you might expect.

The Walnut V2 can function as a USB DAC though

I'm not entirely sure abit this mate. Maybe the new V2S or anything afterwards, but the original Walnut V2 has no support for USB DAC.

Usb dac only supported on walnut v2.2 and v2s

Brought the Z1 to work and plugged in the microSD card to the usb and i must say how nice it was to be able to install the drivers without administrator's rights.

The Z1 seem to elevate mids and trebles by some bit, with my TY32 losing substantial amount of bass. Same goes to the Vido. But the clarity in the music compensates the reduction in the lower end.

Compared to Walnut, i must say it would be wrong to say get one over the other as i feel both are definitely worth the money. But i like the fact that at lower volumes, there wasnt any channel imbalance which haunts the Walnut and the Zishan DSD. But the volume pot is seriously too loose to my liking. Oh and the new firmware with shuffle, folder skip is definitely a plus.

Edit: This pairing is amazing

My Z1 already on new firmware.. Love it. repeat & shuffle functions is very helpful

EQ function not bad, tested only few of it.. Awesome

I can't find Z1 at Taobao. Can anybody share the link for Taobao or taobao agent to buy Z1 from?
