Before you buy, try the SP2000T, King of musicality, I cant wait to try the 1Zm2.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid that's going to be way out of my budget.

This is only true if you clutter the desktop like Windows user do.Apple doesn’t do such a slow down, that I’m familiar with?
-it exists in apple products too, more noticable on the Mac side thought. I had to create sub direcotories to remedy this
Which is my point, don't clutter. 10,000 song files vs 1 file with 10000 songs. The 1 file will be quicker the file size doesn't slow things down much compared to many files in one directory, which might be the reason some see slowdowns on their devices. If not their music file, the cache etc left behind by the deviceThis is only true if you clutter the desktop like Windows user do.
I've been using macOS since 10.0 and never had a slow down.
Exactly, never any slowdown with Apple, no slowdown “ever” with Sony Linux. No matter how my files are arranged.This is only true if you clutter the desktop like Windows user do.

....very interesting. Which CFW are you running on the 1ZM1 - I found the 1Z OFW too dark, especially with Z1Rs....but CFW running 1A on the 1Z really offered more accurate details whilst keeping the warmth of the hardware (Kimber et al)Father meets Son Part 1 (The Sound)
So I went back to Connect-It today to do the Gold vs Gold test as promised. And to be honest, now that I have the actual gold one, listening to the new gold one, I understand the differences all the Japanese reviews were talking about.
Where the WM1Z sounded darker, the WM1ZM2 sounded a tad bit brighter and the soundstage was wider. It felt like a more "accurate" kind of sound while using the IER-Z1R. The treble was most certainly more extended on the WM1ZM2 giving female vocals more of that sweetness. Bass notes reached a little deeper on the WM1ZM2.
Once again, the most impressive thing for me was the layering and positioning. On crowded JPOP and Anisong tracks, I could hear everything firing and know what was going on in my music and my head. Absolutely splendid!
In all, I would describe the new WM1ZM2 as a similar sound but a different flavour.
As for value, if you have no choice to buy the WM1Z anymore in your region, you better start saving up. However, if you have access to the WM1Z either brand new leftovers or second hand, I would strongly consider it should you not need streaming.
I was running the 1Z on MrWalkman but original sound tuning so I could do a pure apples to apples test, as accurate as it can be I guess.....very interesting.
