ha ha yes my mistake to say nobody will do it. obviously some people do that.
Personally i would not do it. Overspend on one component. Where the performance of the system is the sum of all the components. It is a free world, people can make decision for themselves. I will not criticise it. I myself will not do it.
I agree with you! At the end of the day, a dadc/dap is supposed to carry clean sound and deliver some power. We have that. We have the cleanest sound we're probably going to get. After that, it's all about flavor and extras. Some DAPs are more warm than others, or have different apps and features.Most people would consider spending the most money on the earphone/headphone being the wisest investment when it comes to getting the most improvement in sound quality in the entire chain. Also I wouldn't consider getting a pair of Just ear to pair with 1A is overspending, as the 1A is absolutely capable of getting a lot out of the Just ear as the Just ear were designed to be efficient to begin with.
My personal experiences, I often hook up my WM1Z into my Stax SR009 and T2 system to listen. It clearly tells me the pros and the cons of WM1Z vs my other DAP
My understanding of how the output of the 1Z works is that both the 3.5 or 4.4 can be used as a line out (with no problem of the famous double amping). As such my question is that it should make no difference which headphone out port (3.5 or 4.4) is used when feeding your Stax T2 ( or in my case my Carbon)?
It's probably easier sourcing a 3.5 to XLR cable rather than a 4.4 to XLR?

Thanks for the replies
If you search this thread quite a bit comes up about the topic - and answers are different each time.
This link which has interviews with the designers seems to put the issue to rest - there is no analogue line out - period.
It was removed for sound purposes
