Sorry MediaGo is not updated. It is only that I still use it to fill my WM1A and ZX1. It is still working like ever before. I like it's simplicity. The firmware update for the WM1A was offered by MediaGo.

MediaGo traumatized me. Maybe my computer is too slow? So happy now to do updates and fill songs onto players and cards without it.

Has anyone tried a pair of BeyerDynamic DT1990 Pro (3.5mm) with the Sony WM1A ?
does it power it well enough to enjoy ?

PS: would it be too much to ask if it powers HD660S, HD800S, Audeze LCD2C(Classic) or AKG K712 Pro ?

The HD660S comes with a 4.4mm balanced cable. I run it on volume 65 I think. The DT1990 needs around volume 80. I have a balanced 4.4 mm cable for my HD800SD too the it needs around volume 80 too. My AKG K501 needs around volume 90.

you can enable high gain on SE although my reply was based on balanced output (sorry I didn't mention up front)

so, single ended the DAP would not be able to power thoes headphones i've mentioned :S..

It can power them, but balanced is better, so why not use this function. The HD660S comes with the cable already included, for all others you need to get additional cable, that is all.

Had no clue about Frank!

Yeah shame. He was very much a Marmite character, but his gear is very good. I hated his disorganisation, but in some respects, that made it even more special when you finally got what you ordered! He died very shortly after his father passed away - read into that what you will.

the only headphone from the ones i've mentioned that i have is the DT1990 pros (i love german things >.<;; )
i'm not 100% sure if i want to get a 660S or 800S... i'll have to see.
the AKG K712 pro i may get when it goes on sale.

as for the Audeze LCD2C... i wont get for a long while.

if i do get the WM1A i wont be able to budget for the headphones for a while until i've paid it off and gotten a good leather case for it.

i just want to know that if i make the 1500$ plunge i wont get caught off guard when trying to power headphones i would like to get in future.

From my point of view you are on the save side with the WM1A. I would not buy any headphone which cannot run very well from this DAP. AND the single ended output stage is no slough either. It sounds awesome with the DT1990. I have already sellers remorse on that sweet can.

Does anyone have the 1A/1Z working as a DAC with an iPhone?

Using the Apple camera adapter and a Sony USB cable the 1Z recognizes the connection and the iPhone disables the volume control, so everything seems to be working, but I get no sound when I play music on the iPhone. It's the same issue from both itunes and Tidal. Very frustrating!

Whilst it is connected close the apps you want to use and reopen them. Also make sure that the setting on the player to charge during USB DAC mode is turned off
