Does the MDR-Z1R have the same input pinout as the Z7 ? 2 X 3.5mm pin L / R + and first ring L / R -
Ignore that question, course they are same upgrade kimbers !
Yes, the cables are interchangeable.

Enjoying some hi res Megadeth on my NW-WM1A. I think the Sony is phenomenal for the genre because that takes some of the screechiness out of it, but it still sounds great.

By standard I meant i get sony hap-z1es and connect to Marantz AVR and call it a day or get integrated DAC & amp connect to Marantz eith HT bypass. I am just getting back to music. I am not in rush and don’t really have luxury to sit and listen without disturbing others. For now i will just sit and learn here ane be happy with Wm1a and headphones. Have been looking at Gustard product too. Exciting it is.

I would rather not making too much compromises because I will end up spending more upgrading.

Plus I feel super noob learning all the ropes again with digital files.


Oh!.......Enjoy! Cool!

I just can't part with Lotoo Paw Gold Diana, so I am still saving for that gold beauty.

My 1A gets more love actually. Though now after all this time, I think I know the SQ differences between the sisters?

I am proud to say there isn't a single song or album on my Sony that doesn't have album art showing.

Hi,
Just a curious question.
Would you know why DSD volume is much lower than normal CD to 24/192?
Like 35 to 40 % lower?
Playing with 1Z.
are you using balanced or SE output?

if you use balanced, probably it is playing DSD natively, hence the volume lower, but you can uncheck the "Play DSD in native format" checkbox on the output menu. Then you can adjust the Gain to on that same menu and the filters to fast or slow rolloff
