Sad sad day for me. Those Sony Kimber replacement cables for the Z5 everybody here said were a piece of crap decided to stop working on the left side. Didn’t even last 6months. Any recommendations? Thanks

If your in the UK send them to me and I'll re terminate the mmcx's if you send some with it ( suggest eidolic premiums ) or I'll source some and just pay me for me connectors and return postage, offers there if you want as cable is ok so is the 4.4 side of things it's just those cheapo connectors.

Well, that’s a good deal!

Either that or it was an error of judgement! (as in 'no good deed goes unpunished...' LOL)

So...I spent some time with the WM1Z demo on my local audio shop.

Here's my impression write up on it. It's not a review though, just an impression. So take it with a grain of salt.

Nice write-up, You mention That 1.0TB drives are sufficent, I already filled one last year and had to upgrade to 4.0TB , DSD takes space

 

[prince4ever]

Thanks for the offer, but I had already ordered the Sony case...
Also those of you lucky enough to own a wm1a and a wm1z - how significant is the difference?
UK’ers, any idea where I can get Campfire Vega IEM’s? At a decent price?
Any with regards to cable 4.4 balanced - what’s the best combo with wm1a? And the Vega, which I’ve mentally committed to...!

 

[Lookout57]

I have the WM1Z and Vega and like the ALO SXC 8 cable.

Just picked up the WM1a. Initial impressions via 24 bit files: made me feel like I was a part of the performance! Very good soundstage; very pleasing sound via SE Zeus XRA. I am very impressed.

Don't know why ZIP is not good with PCM data.

But i zipped some DSD albums for testing, i got in 30 minutes (playing with memory size and word length can speed times and better compression ratio) i got a 55%-60% ratio so the album was 3.11GB and got reduced to a 1.61GB zip archive.

BUUUUT, I think i will leave them as they are, huge, because i don't trust zip files lol. What if scenario pops in my mind.. what if a bit corruption and the files is made unexpandable, unaccessible hmmm
