Does anyone has experience on pairing 1z to other device? I know this time 1z can’t use WM port as lineout, only for digital out.
I may use digital out to treat 1z as a transport to Aroma N10(as a DAC), and the output can be 2.5 trrs balanced signal to
Mass kobo 404 amp and drive HD800s.

Or has other suggestion that use 1z headphone output(3.5 single end or 4.4 balance) as a line out to the Amplifier，
and the signal from 1z need to choice high gain with maximum volume?

Thanks

Any one use Campfire Audio Andromeda to pair with WM1A?

Digital out is great with the Cradle station
4.4mm Out will be best used with low gain and higher volume

I do. Until now, only SE. Need to sell some gear to get Alo Audio Ref 8 cable 4.4mm.
The WM1A has about 60 hours but until now never heard better portable solution.
The sound is deep and well balanced.
I like this combination a lot more than I used to like Andromeda + iFi Audio micro iDSD Bl, for example.
To me has better control.
I want to try balanced but I could live with SE without problems.

Have you had a chance to compare it to the Campfire Nova?
I had the opportunity to hear them side by side for only 5 minutes a few weeks ago, and the sound signatures where completely different.

Nope i have not heard Nova.
I bet there are quite a few comparison reviews out there

My experience is with SE + Ref8... it sounds Very wide. Cause it sounds like the drum set in front of me is very wide apart.

4.4mm + Leonidas it gave a lot of depth in front the width of the drum set gets a smaller.

I wish Ref 8 4.4mm fullfill my requirements and hopefully will be my end game. I know probably there are better solutions out there, but if with CA Andromeda + NW1A (SE) I'm nearly my goal (if not in my goal), CA Andromeda + NW1A (Bal) should be end of line for a long time.
IMO, the improvements with other systems would be residual (5%, 10%?) so the investement would be redundant.

May I know which kind of cable you use for 4.4 mm out ? One side is 4.4 mm male and another side is ? It is balance signal , should be also a jack or 2 3 pin XLR to the amp.

Thanks

hmmm anyone have any desktop gear to compare the wm1a with? Thinking about getting a high end r2r dac, and I remember purk saying the wm1a/wm1z is equivalent to abouta PHA-3, which is marvelous as a portable solution, but I wonder if it is better than say a gumby+vorguze Pure II+ desktop setup....I'm still hestitant because the SONY is so optimized and designed for iems. Its also a fantastic pairing with the andromedas on the balanced connection. Thinking about getting the new soekris r2r dac....hmm choices choices

I make my cables, and I do whatever fit ATM, I use 4.4mm into 3.5mm (Headphones Z1R cables) and toward XLR3 adaptors. I don’t see any need to further that because I use desktop from another setup

So, You can't use both outputs at the same time?

Not listening, just burning in

Nope. Balanced takes precedence when both are plugged in
