Han Sound has these in-house MMCX connectors for the Sony IEMs... I checking with MS to source these for me to upgrade my 1960s with them + the Furutech carbon 4.4 plugs. exciting times.

Pentaconn!! Use MMCX Pentaconn all the ways

How is it doing compared with other MMCX?
I believe F carbon 4.4 male cannot hold 8 wires thick with L shape right?

 

[Morbideath]

They should be on all scales as I have already kept on repeating it ....This is the DSP algorithms.

What about Smaster?

What about Smaster?

I only explained what needed for the Masses.
To answer, S-Master won’t do anything involves BT, unless the Walkman is acting as a BT receiver

by using Walkman as Wireless DAC. You will see how beautiful your Walkman can be

If my guessing is right, BT sound change should change at around half the strength of balanced output with cables, meaning the change is not as substantial. Or is BT output changing the same magnitude as cable output?

The same!

I have no idea on the quality of the MMCX connector from Han Sound. Requested MS to help do some research and advise since they are a distributor for Han Sound cables in SG.

This is the Furutech 4.4 plug I am referring to. Its not L-shaped but should be able to hold the 4-wire 1960s. Not sure whether it will work with the 10-wire Labkable you have.

Why you want to change the stock 4.4?
Not sure isnt the stock a rhodium plated gold or thats not something we do )

Actually since we are into mods. What do you think about K Mod by Audio sanctuary ?

That is up to Tier 3. I only see Romni Audio doing a Tier 4. I will list out the Tier differences here. This is due to the complexity on the performed works, and also the performances that scales up with it. This is from my own views, the modder may look at it differently . It is always a good idea to email them

Tier 1: Internal wires upgrades

Tier 2: Tier 1 and DC Ground upgrades for S-Master

Tier 3: Tier 1+ Tier 2 and Battery terminal wires upgrades. Also upgrades and refresh Solder joints. Magnetic shielding etc...

Tier 4: All the above with Capacitors upgrades for Power block and Output block

 

[Whitigir]

If you do Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, the WM1Z will make the most senses and also gains a lot more than WM1A (because WM1Z is already a modified WM1A)

However, if you go up to Tier 4, the WM1A and WM1Z may be treated similarly....the chassis differences still exist but won’t be that substantial...the prices between units are a big different though

IMO, it is the best values for the money to modify WM1A to tier 4, and WM1Z ? When you have plenty to spare ....another luxurious right and more power to you

It seems 4.4 L-shaped plug none can hold more than 8 wires… could be a very niche market / demand here

Thanks for the full tier description that makes a lot of sense now

Will need to find proper player now

@nc8000 you have all your music collection in the walkman memory + micro SD card as 16/44.1KHz FLAC, right? Or do you changed your mind and you have some in 24-bit/DSD?

PW stock is gold plated... Just exploring and trying something different... always learning and what better way than to be able to test it myself vs reading impression and opinions online.
