Sharing. It is great quality. TOP notch. The only thing should have gotten the burgundy red but was out of stock.

Sexy!

LOL, my WM1z arrived today.....with firmware 1.02. Guess these were not exactly flying off the shelves at Crutchfield. I was very surprised to see the internal and external drives show up in Mac OS Finder without the dreaded Android AFT app. Also, I wish I knew updating the 2.0 firmware would also require a full re-scan of my 400 GB card. Waiting another 20 min before I can do anything.

I am relieved that my Laylas sound great. I've had a heck of a time trying to figure why it sounds muddy and veiled on some devices and still don't have a common technical reason why. For example, every AK DAP I've tried prior to SP1000 was bad. All Onkyo DAPs I've tried also bad. The "correct" sound should be neutral with some weight to the mids and well extended and airy treble. WM1z is most certainly "correct". And now for the burn in LOL.

Ya, before 50 hours of burn in they can sound murky.

I hope it's not heresy. Had anyone tried or own Gustard. I am writing letter to Santa. Cannot decide whether getting TA-ZH1ES or just headphone amp using 3.5/RCA or 4.4/XLR (if that's possible). Currently using Mdr-z7 balanced but planning to get hifiman 1000 or other. I hope that I get my priority in correct order, ie amp first before another headphone.

While I like Z7, think I prefer open like my Audio Technical 2000.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Thanks
