Thanks so much for the picture. Now I can see it clearly.the NWH10 cable is much thicker than the charge cable and therefore will definitely not fit in it. Thanks once again for taking the trouble to show me up close.

Didn’t think it would and anyway if your main purpose is to connect to an external dac to use the WM as a transport you are better of with the propper dock and a good usb cable

I tried the same stack with EE Phantom and LimeEar Aether; they sound meh. Phantom sounds flat, revealing but nothing else jumps out. Aether sounds anemic and muffled.

Back to CA OG Andromeda; it still sounds awesome. I think Alo 16 Gold iem is tuned using Andromeda. Soundstage so massive so open; it surrounds you 270* This cable has very good synergy with Andro; it plugs its weaknesses eg: weak subbass, timber sounding odd and plasticky. Listening to saxophone and trombone give me chills; I swore I heard vibrations on guitars on songs I never heard before. Its unreal.

I prefer the ALO Gold 16 with the Solaris and the SXC 8 with either the OG or SE Andromeda.

System 1 = 1Z 4.4mm output to 2.5mm input to ALO CDM. Use Aeon close , Utopia, and Noble Khan.

System 2 = 1Z into Sony dock out, usb out to Denafrips Terminator, output to ALO Studio Six tube amp. Use Utopia only mainly.

System 3 = 1Z 3.5mm output split to RCA into tube PA and tube Amp to drive Magnepan 3.7i speakers for 2 channel enjoyment.

System 4 = 1Z 3.5mm output split to ALO Studio Six tube amp. Use Utopia mainly.

System 5 = Will Be = 1Z into Sony Dock, usb output to Denafrips Termi Dac, output to tube PA, Tube Amp, Magnepan 3.7i, 2 REL S5 subs for ultimate 2 channel enjoyment.

Anything else??????

Meomap, thanks for this, now you have me thinking!!!
Just upgraded to a Cary Audio SLI-80 Integrated, and would prefer using a Dac, like your System 5.
I may indeed go with the Dock.

that’s a pretty cool case!

Thanks! It's a fantastic case for sure!

If there's one minor con I can mention about the WM1A, it's the background noise with sensitive IEMs. It's not loud of course, but it is there, noticable in quiet song sections, or when nothing is playing. As a comparison, my Cowon Plenue 1 is absolutely silent no matter which IEMs I use.

 

[Vitaly2017]

So did anyone have a small comparison yet between zx507 and wm1a or 1z?

Yep, light hissing with my Andros with no music on. With music on, it’s unnoticeable.

Yes therefore I won’t be getting the dock as it only serves as a charging stand and won’t fit my DAC cable. Thanks again.

I don’t get any hiss using the 1A with my Z5. In fact it’s a match made in heaven for me. It just sounds so bloody good together. And that powerful sub impact never gets in the way of mids or anything. Perfect for me.

Hi all!

Does anybody have used the wmc-nwh10 cable to transmit DSD to an external dac? Is this possible or convert to pcm?

I am planning to buy one and use it with an SMSL SU-8.

Regards!!

I am using the NWH10 to transmit full DSD256 to my FiiO K5 Pro. The cable works beautifully and sounds awesome. Attached pic.

https://headfonics.com/2018/02/noble-audio-django-review/

In the Noble Audio Django review “Headfonics” uses that IEM as an actual testing device (out of their collection of 80 IEMs) to discover how much hiss a DAP may have. So it must be the total most sensitive!
