you can find zx2 here for almost 500$ so it's not such a big difference , if you found though this wm1z for around 1000$ then yeah this is amazingly cheap (i am sure that wm1z will show up here later for maybe even 1500$ - just need another 6-12 months though)

I got an almost new ZX2 for $375 at the same pawn shop last year. These pawn shop guys really don't know what they are buying and selling and their sources are always a real mystery.

Probably fell off a truck

It was last year, I think WM1 series was not even on sale in the US. The average used price was $800, when I picked it up. But sold the ZX2 on Headfi as it didn't power my Z5s well. They did call me about an AK and opus daps that came up for sale, didnt show any interest. If interested PM me, will give you the details, its in Chicago but I guess they are a chain and do have a website too.

PS: It was a little lesser than $1000

An Ice-cream truck is my guess.

I do not have [Settings] – [Output Settings] – [High Gain Output],

instead I see [Settings] – [Output Settings] - [Select Filtering/Gain] - [Gain - 0db or -3DB]

So is this EU?
I updated to v2.0 so I should have the volume cap removed already is that correct?

No you need to use the Rockbox tool to change the region

Mission accomplished just waiting for the new memory foam pads to finalize the upgrade. Unique set of headphones are these no boomy bass no tinnitus inducing highs, mid perfection ! with a hint of low end and a hint of top end when needed. Been experimenting with different genres of music and 50% of it just doesn't suit it but feed these beauties smooth vocals or jazz or most classical pieces and wow you forget they only cost $120, I can see why they still make these amazing classics and are still widely used by Japanese sound engineers.

Awesome, @ledzep . I grew up listening to music on one of those (my dad's) and a tape walkman (later discman). Used to love it.
What kinds of music don't suit it, in your opinion?
Also, what memory foams are you upgrading to?

Brainwavz Sheepskin Memory Foam,
Flat ones not the angled ones just enough depth not to affect the original sound, found it wasn't any good on certain rock like Guns N Roses or certain types of electronic style music where it scales up and down fast it seems to get a bit muddled, but these are designed for studio monitoring after all and that's why I then step over to the 7210's I modded to pick up the slack. Managed to pick up a pair of xb700's to play with this week see what I can get out of them bass beauties.
