You need two cables. Sony WMC-NWH10 connect to NW1A/Z, then a USB A to micro usb to connect to Hugo 2.

Thank you .. I use the BCR-NWH10 dock station which should be as good as the WMC-NWH10 because power supply to the NW1A is provided with the dock ..
two days ago, I could finally get something out of the WM1A with the Hiby H6Pro as DAC,
But same conf do not feed the Fiio M11, Xduoo XD-05+, SMSL M500. I imagine probably something concerning the cables I tried from the dock to the dac.

Sorry to keep you waiting guys, it's still work in progress. It's on its way for sure, though.

Is it still possible let ZX300 install WM1 firmware?

Well, as I said, the touchscreen does not work, so nope.

As soon as there would be an update, I will let you guys know.

I am not sure, if I would be in for a WM1A successor.. if so, then only for an uncapped device. But I am afraid that EU volume limitation will ruin it.....Before purchasing the WM1A I tested the ZX507. But I was not impressed so much and the capped volume was too low even with my not very powerhungry headphones.... I am quite happy with my 1A. This, together with my MDR 1 AM is my personal endgame :)
That volume cap is an odd concept.
You can deafen yourself plenty of other ways but for personal listening devices they chose to 'cap' them. Was there an abnormally high amount of people with tinnitus in Europe that sparked this? Do they 'cap' the amount of sugar in foods that can cause diabetes, or level of alcohol in beverages that may cause liver damage, or put a speed limiter on cars or 'cap' the autobahn and other ways that people can poentially do damage to themselves?
I appreciate that sometimes things are done for our own good but when that can interfere with your listening experience and can't use certain headphones it seems a bit intrusive.

I know you are busy with the new wm1a fw, but wanted to ask. Will any of that love will be available for the other 3 platforms? (Zx300, nw45, nw30) sorry if the question is absurd by it self

I'm pretty sure he said the new magic will only be for the WM1A.

quick question...has anyone had the WM1a/Z + tuning and switched back to the original sound? For some reason I'm really beginning to wonder if the tuning was better than the original sound. I may hafta find out this weekend or wait for this new tuning I hear that Mr. Dub (W) is coming out with, no?

Yes I have switched back and forth from original stock 3.02 to WM1A/z and chameleon and I like chameleon best. And chameleon works best with the new update that’s coming out real soon as it’s the closest to the stock 1Z sound you can get. I’ve been using it for the past 4-5 days and it’s amazingly surreal. The soundstage, the deep bass and the overall nuances. Takes the 1A to a whole new level. Not subtle. Very much significant and absolutely blissful. Wait for it!

me too. I thought, my WM1A was running on WM1AZ+...but then I detected that it was on chameleon running as 1Z.... I experimented half a day and finaly I switched back to 1Z on chameleon. indeed very deep bass and a holistic soundstage. I am quite happy with that...

will new FW be a further improvement???
