Wow. I wanted to ask questions about the MDR-Z1R but saw that thread was closed due to toxicity. Guess I can’t ask peeps opinions how it pairs with a certain DAC but I can see on this thread how it pairs up with the 1A and 1Z

any idea how long it takes to fully charge 1a?
Also, try a high speed 3.0 connection and see if that jacks up the charging time quicker. It might do wonders. Would be interesting if you could provide feedback on that

As always, behind the times - today I got around to trying the WM1Az revision B that @morgenstern09 has posted - I think it’s right on the limit as to what bass the WM1A can put out cleanly, but my oh my is the texturing right on the money with the FiiO FH7!

Last word on the Shure SRH1840s with the WM1A. They're probably going back. The precision, clarity, soundstage and separation were incredible. But these are truly neutral headphones, and with a fairly neutral sounding DAP, the sound is just a bit too flat, dry, and unexciting. They lacked that "wow" factor I get from the SE846s, and am thinking that they would probably sound better with a headphone amp which I'm not willing to invest in at this point. I ordered the HD660s as they're on sale now ($399USD) and will give those a try.
so i think we are the only ones that like 3.00 lol not much adepts here.. how do you find it? can you describe it? also what region?

3.0 never worked for me. It crashed the player every few hours, the only Sony FW I’ve ever had do that

Have you consider that i could have been an sd card error? or corruption in the download files? it never ever crash my 1A not even moded 3.0FW

Modded 3.0 FW is actually just stock 3.0 FW. Sound tunings have nothing to do with the FW's functionality, and true firmware modding is not actually possible, no matter what some people could tell you.

Regarding the SD Card, why would the error only manifest on the 3.0 FW and not on 3.02 for example?

Unfortunately I cant answer this one I had errors in 1.20 that wont manifest in 2.0 and later FW because sony changed the way the database ruibild was doned...

Is this the Japan Tourist version and would it have a 1 year international warranty if bought in the USA?

I bought my ZX300 through them - I believe they sell the U (?) which is English, uncapped, remote capable models. They are very good to deal with - honest and quick to reply to questions and with shipping. I don't think Sony does international warranties, perhaps you'd have to send it back to them.
