Any reason not to get the stock Sony leather case for my WM1A? I really like the idea of something covering the screen.

I hated how it flips up rather than left

It doesn’t really cover much. Meaning the sides are open. As well as I have ended up with a ding on a corner using that case. I only have myself to blame, still I wonder if a different case would have protected the 1Z corner? After a couple years I only have three small marks. And like most stuff in life it gets used and slightly marked even with love. Some people have also had issues the way the included 1Z case clips on. The general consensus is there are better aftermarket cases. Though this whole case thing becomes increasingly subjective as time of ownership goes on. IMO

I love my miter case for my 1A. Used it also for the ZX300 previously. May not offer great drop protection but is functional as it stands on my desktop when I use it for dac/amp.

Thanks for the replies. The open sides did seem a little TOO open but I figured I could learn to live with the up/down flip of the cover.

Maybe I'll keep looking. I currently have the silicon case and a screen protector but I think I want something a little more substantial. This thing is a brick and I feel like it would fall hard if I let it slip.

Love the look of the Musashino Label one but it seems tough to get without friends in Japan.

I bought a Musashino 4.4 to 3.5 adaptor using a forwarding service, don’t recall which one.

Hmm.. on quick inspection that looks easier than I expected. I saw Tenso and Blackship as the first two in my search.

Can't speak to the pro version which is supposed to be much better than the original but with my EE Legend X, the original M11 was really a disappointment. I wasn't aware that the M11 was the problem until a friend told me not to give up on the Legend X based on that DAP as he couldn't understand why I was really not enjoying the LX. I tried a Pioneer XDP300R which was better but the WM1A has been a revelation with the LX. I am very pleased with them now..
As they say, synergy, will be the key.

But if you need all the features of an android player then I suppose the wm1a won't be for you but if, like me, you just want an extremely good sounding player then I can't recommend trying the wm1a enough. Get a used one and if you don't like it then sell it when the M11 pros inevitably hit the used market at discount prices. I've already seen one on the used market.

Thank you.
Im thinking of WM1A and the Sony MDR-Z7/M2 for the start

regards,
Simon

the usb plug actually clears the bottom? hard to tell from the angle. im guessing it does. the way i see my zx300 is it needs at least 1 inch to clear on bottom. i have mine standing on the usb plug on top of an old android phone stand

Used to be there previously in AliExpress, or you can find it in Taobao (mostly Chinese text)

Yes it does. It’s a very slim case so no issues.

Any suggestions on a better case besides the Dignis?

Well I'm a Benks TPU + hardened glass (Dragontrail) on the screen believer, so you probably don't want my opinion. But I'm really happy with it. I can actually see what I bought.

Totally agree
