I can't answer whether the WM1Z sounds 2k better than the WM1A from experience, but I'd willing to bet 2k that it doesn't.

I got hd650 and jotunheim as I am curious since it seems everybody swears by it and want a setup for my desktop, unfortunately it did not tops my wm1a/it03 combo in terms of sq, soundstage and resolution. Wm1a with it03 is an end game for me in terms of the sound I like.

Through SE is the WM1A £400 better than the Zx300? I’d only be using SE due to me having B&W P9s.

Also does anybody know how the sound compares with both to a Pono Player?

My guess would be that single ended ZX300 would be the better buy but I’ve heard neither

I’m sure it’s not 2K better, I just took the step right away so not to risk buyers remorse and speculation

Does this mean I should stop Desiring the 1Z if I already have the 1A?
The answer to that question is within yourself (this is true for all of us). If you are perfectly happy with your current choice, then there is no need to look further. But if/when the itch becomes too much, and you start to think of how the 1Z might be better, then that is a sign that the itch to see what is next is reaching the incurable stage, where there is only one answer possible....

The deeper question is how some people can live happily with a solution until it dies, and they need to replace it, and how others are unable to stop looking, and must make continual changes, no matter what they have. And which type of person are you? If you are the latter, then you may as well give in, because you know what you will do eventually. Know yourself, and enjoy...

To quote Gollum, "Me wantses it."
Instead of changing the sound a little bit by buying a WM1Z, you could try some more cans, like the Z1R the Pioneer TOTL or many others. The sound differences will be much more noticeable. The WM1A is a perfect player, I would never have expected to be produced at any time soon.

I agree on Z1R hp upgrade than 1Z, it will sure put the sq of 1A to another level than upgrading to 1Z.
