Thanks for the input on this. I have the Tia Fourte and love it with a dac/amp set up, but have been looking for a great DAP to use as a stand alone. Contemplated the WM1Z and the SP1000, so it looks like the AK might be way too neutral for the Tia. Is the 1.2 FW available to download for a better match? Thanks!

here is the link for the 1.20 FW.

The point of my post was just to recognize pentaconn 4.4mm connector and Senns solid support of it Nothing more or less. Regarding HD820, will check it out at CanJam NYC, hopefully. I'm curious how it stacks up against HD800S and IE800S.

I quite liked the HD800S when I gave it a demo about 18 months back. I can't get on with the fit of the IE800, just doesn't work for me unfortunately. I will demo the HD820 if it's a this years London CanJam but tbh im hoping Focal will do a closed version of Utopia or Clear

I am using windows hence i have media Go and yes media Go automatically switches storage spaces after f.e the internal fills out it switches to the micro SD card

Had no idea Media Go did that, thanks.

I have a question for you. When I loaded my WAV files from Itunes, the music in Media library shows all albums correctly, but now in my 1z I have about a 1000 files not in their albums, but just individual files.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Since wav files can’t be tagged I’m guessing that the meta data for them recides in iTunes and you don’t get any of that along to the Sony player

Yup as NC800 says, wave files can't be tagged, the format wasn't meant to be taggesble like f. E flac or dsf, however I am not sure if you Tag your wavs with mp3tag you could fit some tagging info. (going contrary to what the specs for wave meant originally)

Sounds more dynamic and the transient response of something like a guitar string pull from pull to harmonic decay sound reference quality on this while the X7II sounds like an excellent offering by a company getting better and better at making DAP's but not as good as Sony it seems....to me

This thing is really nice on any genre using any gear that I have

Some album arts are being a PITA but besides that love this thing

For PITA album art please see that you are saving the file as baseline jpeg and not progressive jpeg.

I have covered pair up with over a dozen of IEMs, including U18t and Fourte here.

Thank you @twister6 that's an amazing review

Search this thread and you'll find posts (a few from me and others) on how to convert Progressive jpegs to baseline jpegs and get them to be read by the WM-1A/Z.

Sorry to ask, but checking few pages back it was not clear; what is the latest version of FW available?
