How are you liking the acoustune? What signature to these have? These are on my Single DD wishlist along with the Dunu Luna & A8000.
I like it a lot, probably the best sounding IEM to my preference.
I have HS1551CU, HS1650CU and HS1695Ti. It doesn't failed to impress me every new release.
HS1551CU I love the tonality buy details is lacking. HS1650CU gives you slightly more details than HS1551CU but tonality not as warm, it's very energetic. There's a difference between them but not huge.
HS1695Ti is on another level.
It has the tonality and it has high amount of details, it has slightly lesser bass than the previous but it's just right, you won't feel its lacking. The highs are more detailed out of the Acoustune releases.

Yesterday i charged my wm1a battery o full amd it hows by playing a 60 min album, the first bar away. I have no BT, no DSP on, all normal with source direct on, gain normal.

Last week i rcalibrated the battery, does the thicker kimber cable draws more power?

It is something to assess, if when modifications of this type are made, the battery loses life due to the different wiring configuration, there may be charge leaks that generate losses in the battery.

I think that’s possible. When I’m using PW 1960 4 wire I usually have to increase the volume and put on high gain. That obviously draw more power. Using Radsone ES100 Bluetooth, I could use any wires except PW 1960 cables. ES100 doesn’t have enough power to drive PW cables

are you also using the same headphone on both instance? Or it’s headphone vs iem?

Same HP, will also test with iem IER-Z1R to see, if i continues to behave like so, then battery is on its last gasp

I recently dropped my WM1Z, and cracked the screen. The device is still functional, but I think the damage will probably get worse over time.

I first called Sony Support at 1-888-222-7669. They told me that since it was physical damage, it would be an out of warranty repair (as I was expecting), and told me to follow up with their authorized 3rd-party repair service, United Audio Repair.

UAR subsequently told me that they do not carry parts on the WM1Z - and according to my CSR's records, haven't worked on a WM1Z since 2018 - and told me to follow back up with Sony.

Upon second call, Sony told me that they can't do anything, as they don't even stock the part for the screen, because it is "discontinued". The CSR then suggested I take it to Best Buy/Geek Squad for repair.

I first asked how a part could be discontinued, when the player itself is still being sold as new. I then asked what Best Buy would be able to do, if they cannot get ahold of any screens, since they are, according to her, discontinued. She had no answer and so that call went nowhere.

Anyone have advice on getting my screen repaired?IMG_0363.JPG
I would try to buy a cheap 1A wich screen its ok and replace the 1Z....
