Ohh.. the new FW has made the WM1Z less warm, less bassy, wider soundstage. The Z1R + WM1Z combo sounds more palatable now. First impressions, the WM1Z & the TA-ZH1ES sounds closer now
I totally agree the soundstage IS wider which gets slighly more space between the instruments. Absolutely less warm, at least with the 1Z, haven’t listened to the 1A yet. Due to the less warmth, there now exists a slighly faster decay of notes and the presence of increased detail. IMO
Thought I was going to be able to stream tidal from my phone to my 1a and use my ta-zh1es but apparently usb output is unavailable when in bluetooth receiver mode. This is very disappointing to me.
Didn’t analyze it to exactly 2-3 extra volume steps, but I did notice it’s seems slighly less loud. Like the notes are coming from slighly farther away hence less loud. Like the sound is dampend slighly from the last update. More clear and detailed but less upfront or something? Like a speaker with more padding placed in the box. Less warmth, less reverberations.
