Does this shop ship overseas (States?) or must a buying service be used?
Do they deduct the local VAT tax if shipped outside of Japan?

How do you register as member? It needs Japanese name to complete the registation.
Just come up with a Japanese name. Hell, use the walkman's chief engineer's name.

You don't need a japanese name. I'm not Japanese and have an account there.

You do need to put your name in katakana characters though, as is always the case in Japan.

Edit: I meant there should be a field to put your name in roman characters or chinese characters, and another field for your the phonetic version of your name (ie in katakana)

Done a 2hour extensive listening on the 1AM2. This is comparison to the ZX507.

All walkmans are using the same following
IER-M9 Balanced
DSEE Ultimate
High Gain
Volume 75 out of 120
DC Phase Linearizer Type A Std

The key difference of the new WM1AM2 Walkman over the zx507 is in these areas:

Bass response feels more deeper, more textured and has more hard hitting slams with much more air movement pressure.

Vocals has more expressiveness, with more noticeable ASMR tiny breathing sound details.

High hats feels much more airy and extended. You can really sense the atmosphere of the music so much better. Live concert recordings feels so real like, with every loud instruments and tiny details all presented to you in a spacious soundscape.

The WM1A2 has the ability to retain very strong bass dynamics with amazing sound clarity at the same time in the most complex loud sounding music passages. It seems to me that the S-master hx amplifier has become alot more capable and powerful sounding.

Is it a worthy upgrade from the ZX507? Yes. the WM1AM2 sounds much more powerful and dynamic. It still has the same ZX507 sound signature but has evolved to be sound even more refined and dynamically more powerful.
