That’s exactly why I wanna hear them lol

I just forgot to mention that the reason why I liked the 1A and X1 is when I test IEMs and when I do comparisons and reviews.

I’ve kept the X1 too because of just how silent the background is even for the most sensitive IEMs. ACG balanced is a godsend for that. I wish they continued to improve it with a bit more power and of course, battery life. I don’t mind if they went all custom OS a la Sony. But most of my listening time is with local files. And I do use a BTR5 on the go so I still see the charm of streaming (I use Apple Music OTG)

But if the WM1Z is truly the more “analogue/musical” DAP then hey, I want a bit of enjoyment here and there.

And one could still dream to own the DMP-Z1 one day and buy the carrying bag designed for it on the go 😂

Then I can be a meme too.




I’d rock these with my IER-Z1R too lol




I am not sure if I would feel comfortable with my mdr swing like that in the wild haha.
This looks so much like hey I am looking for trouble anyone please grab it and run 🤩😛😅

Newly bought A55! Even the manufacturing date was made back in late december last year so this device is only 2 months old!

I had to give the ibasso dx120 back to the individual who sold it to me cause it was having a very bad screen problem and the device was feeling hot pretty fast.

Will install MrWalkman's firmware once I get a hold of a windows laptop. I don't have enough storage in my macbook to use a VM. Will enjoy the stock sound for now!

My only problem with the a55 is it's output power. 35mw seems quite pathetic.

I don't use headphones or any BA IEMs so I'm pretty safe for now. My optimal volume on the dx120 was at 45 while the A55 is at 68. Tin HiFi T3 and Moondrop Starfield from my end are my pairings for the next year probably.

I found my optimal volume on my A45 after installing MrWalkman's firmware to go down by about 15 clicks, so you may see the same once you apply it.

Newly purchased LZ A7 with the gold filter & stock tips. Loving them so far. Next tip purchase will be the Final Audio E Type tips. I've been using foam tips for some time, so getting used to silicone tips again has been interesting..

Wow that's fantastic! Didn't expect it to be more loud after applying the firmware. Really looking forward to it now.
