Today i browsed sony japan site. I managed to get into walkman catwgory after trying by trial and error.

clicking wverywhere there’s no DMP to be seen
It’s under the Hi-res product, but no longer to sell WM1A.

Got a new setup for the DMP today.

I can say that these speakers have changed my perspective on imaging. They are worth going out of your way to give a listen. The way it can place a singer right in front of you is just unbelievable.
Agreed. Happy that your job is allows you to afford these luxuries so easily. Keep it up. I want to see what will be next in your collection :)

Just wishing there was somewhere in Toronto to try these out.

Curious what others use to get HiRes content. These are the ones I go to:
  • https://www.qobuz.com/ - Probably my favorite currently because it also integrates with Roon. Good selection of content and, most importantly, they clearly show the frequency and bit-depth for all their content. None of this MQA voodoo nonsense.
  • https://www.nativedsd.com/ - This is my go-to site for all DSD needs. Although, more recently, their content has shifted to DXD. I always get the original recording format. I'm not a fan of resampling it to DSD just for the fun of it.
  • https://www.hdtracks.com/ - When the other two sites fail me, this is my backup. I can't say much more, other than they have a good selection that doesn't fully overlap. So, it's a good option if you strike out on the first two.

Been lurking around in this thread for a while now but never serious about purchasing the Z1 due to it's high price and being "big" but today i've officially pulled the trigger on Amazon and it should be in my possession tomorrow as a present for my birthday/father's day :).
