Thanks @Damz87 @Amber Rain
I really wish it has toslink digital output instead.

Plays to USB DAC for me regardless in UAPP or Walkman app.

Agree. I am pondering having TPU when I am around the house. But the leather when I am on the road. The last thing I need is some acquisitive official at some airport taking a shine to the 1ZM2...

when i am sitting in starbucks with the wm1z (tpu case) on the table... at least 20 people during the day
1) ask me what that is and
2) remind me that it looks absolutely amazing

Both leather cases look great! People who used either a leather or TPU case long term with the original 1Zs, did the cases end up causing scratches/ abrasions on the gold finish?

for wm1z: happens only wit the original sony leather case.

LoL .. joking .. it's way too exp.

but limited to 1000 units. i think the price will be relatively stable in the future, too.

Not compared to a WM1Z!

Has anyone had a chance to compare the WM1AM2 vs the WM1A? I'm trying to decide whether I should buy a used WM1A instead. I have some concern about the battery on Android players (longer term).

Long term ... all batt will fail . Just used .. and replace when time is up.

Wm1a vs 1am2, it's simply if you need streaming music or not.

I don’t think it’s simply a matter of one having streaming/android and the other one not. There are internal design changes between the two and people that have heard both have said that they sound different as well.

Whilst I haven’t heard WM1A or WM1AM2, I can say with certainty that WM1Z and WM1ZM2 sound different to my ears.

Sounds like the W2, which is to say, very good for a dongle but not on the same level as listening directly from WM1ZM2

 

[Vitaly2017]

Any ideas what’s going on with the preorders for 1a/1z ? Like did the release been pushed for later?
I thought we would have full purchase access by now in usa and canada.

The lowest price now in Japan Rakuten. Can use fromjapan.co.jp proxy service to buy for you. Shipping not included but you can choose Fed-Ex or DHL. Every wednesday-thursday japan time got 7% discount when using this proxy service.

I got w1am2 regardless of discount. It’s cheaper than most places.
