When you use either the WMC-NWH10 USB Conversion Cable or the dock the WM1A/Z is a transport for connection to a DAC. So you could use the Yggdrasil or Holo Spring Level 3.

Hi,
So 1Z could not use it to transfer by itshelf with its conversion?
Does that dock has usb as output or Coax as well?

Dock is USB only, no coax or optical.

And you can use the usb as transport or files transfer with a switch on the back

I am using the diginis leather case with my wm1z and it has extremely tight fit. Any suggestions on how to remove from the case without impacting the case or player.

hold case firmly and push upwards with pencil

Before doing so lifthat that backside off the backside of theach Walkman. This releases the adhesion of the cover on the leather backside of the Walkman. Then you push the device like on the picture above. Your finger should do.

Common .... fingering a Walkman ? Just use a pencil for professional gears

Hold case with one hand, with the other I slip my fore and mid finger and slightly lift up the edge of the case at the bottom of the screen and gently push with my thumb through the opening where the digital port is exposed.

I use DHC Symbiote SP V3 OCC Silver Type 4 Litz 8 braided, 2.5mm balanced.
Later broken then Moon Audio fixed for me with 4.4 mm Furutech.

Don't if I should go for Symbiote Elite 19 awg OCC Silver later but 2.5x the price and probably too heavy.

Too many options to buy but little money.
I still have to upgrade my 2 channel audio downstair also.

Nice!

Make sure your dust plug is seated firmly or you may get some bits of eraser in your port

Anyone know how much output power the wm1a has on balanced with low gain settings? I know high gain is 200mw and am curious to know if both balanced and standard have the same mw output on the low gain settings

 

[blazinblazin]

Only 4.4mm balanced have 240mw. 3.5mm is only 60mw.

High or low gain... 4.4mm balanced still have more power.

In June, I'm making a buy while in Japan (actually my wife and daughter will while there to visit family, from my shopping list) and the plan is for the zx300 and Z1R, Right now I need a closed headphone. But I prefer open and plan on adding to the stable eventually. Also, just a few days ago all the big Japanese retailers (Bic, Yodobashi, Sofmap) bumped their price on the Z1R back up to full retail, where it had been discounted by several hundred bucks before. I have no way of knowing if the in-store price is really full retail, or discounted. So, although unlikely, I am considering instead buying the WM1A and a cheaper closed headphone. In evaluating whether this would be a better plan, I'm interested in knowing if the WM1A's output power advantage vs. the zx300 (250mw/channel vs. 200mw/channel, on balanced) would make a big difference in the headphones that can be driven adequately. I do not, at this time, own a stationary/home headphone amp. One piece at a time.

I know this question is nearly impossible to answer inclusively, the list would be too long and probably cause disagreements. So let's try for exclusively: what fullsize headphones are outside the range of the WM1A/Z's power to drive adequately? Also, are there any headphones for which the WM1A/Z has just enough power on balanced HG to do it justice, but the zx300 at 4/5 that output would be short? I'm thinking, for instance, Eikon/Atticus, hd800s, hd820, Audeze LCD series, etc.
