If you have to ask...

 

[Holdmyown83]

I feel so embarrassed asking this but I saved some sound presets but how do I switch to them? Every time I go back to the save screen it’s wanting me to just overwrite what’s already there when all I wanna do is switch to the other one I saved.

My obsession and joy! - This is my end game.... till Sony releases the next Z Walkman

Home - 1Z > Kimber Axios Copper > MDR-Z1R

All that's missing is the TA-ZH1ES

Uhm!! The Dynamic! The driving power! The deep sub-bass!, the ripples! The rumbles! High-gain and 94 volume ! Plenty loud!!! Would be painful to go beyond

Did not think upgrading the power supply sections would brought about this much improvements.

I dont think that the fiio can sound better than the wm1Z, perhaps it rivals wm1A

When I had the m11 I noticed the sound being clean an vivid , so this guy says it sounds dead next to the 15.
This tells me that you will have a morr exaggerated low level detailing, like a DB compressor used in music studios.

The issue with today's DAPs are not with detailing or resolve, but instead how artificially it is done.
Exaggerated sound aspects, like low level details pushed up.
You can end up with exaggerated width, and less dimensional, and closer soundstage.

Tested the LPGT in Dec - a very good DAP - Clean and Resolute

N8 Balanced - Nothing really stood out for me
N8 Tube - Too warm

The 1Z on the other hand has bone beyond a DAP for me, listening to it is just a wonderful experience every single time on both stock & K-Mod Ultimate 1Zs.

This dac is so unique.
No Delta sigma sound. To me they are lively but not as real.
Not like ladder dac either. To me these dacs are founded in rock solid realism, but not most musical.

There comes a point where you musicality takes precedence over absolute realism, yet must have both to feel complete.
That's what I have with the moded 1z.

To me its way more organic sound, away from solid state sound.

To me, it would take a way higher dac to replace it.
No DAPs yet.

The Z1 is still on my radar. I suspect I’ll eventually find a good enough reason to get it. Just that I’m hardly staying long enough in a certain spot even at home to justify having a desktop/large transportable DAP/AMP. Even the Tazzy is not getting much attention these days. really happy with both 1Zs now : )

Wait, what power? What dynamics? Did mine get the same treatment? Because I need more dynamics and power, that’s why I added Oriolus BA 300S amp. If there’s a way to increase even more dynamics on my modded 1Z, then sign me up!

Only thing missing is the DMP-Z1. Got the Tazzy previously for the headphones but found myself using the 1Z with the MDR more often instead.

The real surprise to me here is the NW-A105. With the IER-M9, it punches way above it’s size. Really good SQ from the baby Walkman.

Daang that sounds soo good are you convincing me for whitigir 1a mod instead 1z haha
All those good rumbles and deep bass I love!

By the way when I had hd800s I was at high gain and 110 to 120 and still dsd for example where way to quiet, flacs was passable.
Hd800s from 1z sounded amazingly good. Never as bright....

So the WM1A can do Iphone Tidal into 88.2KHz and 96Khz from Tidal Master. This is interesting
