Sorry I'll ask in a few months
Just curious, and maybe you don't want to open this can of worms at the moment, but did you compare all the cards to the internal storage? Where they all preferable? Or just different? And I imagine there'd be differences on different devices (Shanling/Sony)
Differences where all around, like you have listed.. therefore the -very- consuming process: to be able to get to the point to tell with a decent degree of legitimacy after just 4 weeks, something relyable enough.Just curious, and maybe you don't want to open this can of worms at the moment, but did you compare all the cards to the internal storage?

Have you tried the MDR-1R? How much difference will there be between the MDR-1A?My flavours of the week is AM2 with MDR-1A unbalanced Kimber and a Swissbit. Highly portable with a complete sound. I could (should) be happy with this forever. Need new earpads though
Unfortunately I don't have the 1R. I do have and love the MDR-Z7M2 and enjoy with a balanced cable. However it is slightly less portable, and I wonder how it sounds with more power. The MDR-1A does not ask for more power. I haven't heard the MDR-1AM2Have you tried the MDR-1R? How much difference will there be between the MDR-1A?
I have the MDR-1R, the MDR-1AM2 and the MDR-Z7M2.
And of the 3 I like the MDR-1AM2 the most, the most musical, the most fun.
As long as you do not explicitly disable the headphone app, it's HRTF algorithms will be in effect, system wide right from bootup(no app launch required).FW1.08 sure has the better bass then FW1.07.. it's more in the 1zm2 dress , minus the extra detail , extra decay , extra smoothness , extension in highs and analogueness ( 1zm2 - my findings at least , as for an overall "deeper" albeit less impactful listening experience with it )
FW1.08 has less emphasis in highs rendering ( or, they offer less sparkle and reverbs i.e. , then on FW1.07 , my ears )
The headphone app - I never used it .
I see now.
I didn't know really about this fact.
I am updating it later tonight then.
I would encourage you to consider trying out one for yourself if it's possible. IEMs like IER-Z1R and IER-M9 are great candidates.I do not have or use any Sony iem or headphones set at moment
