If you are asking about the cables from the company (Kumitate Lab), they offer Erde (OCC pure copper), Licht or Blau (both silver plated copper).

If you are asking for other options beside these cable, there's the sony MUC-M12SB1 kimber cable and also the Brise Audio UPG001 cable as of now.

And as I stated several times, BeatAudio...available normally these days, should get mine next weekr

Yea. Other cable makers like beat audio and labkable should have their 4.4mm cable ready soon as well as the japanese manufacturer had start shipping out the 4.4mm plug last week.

To me its a very worthy upgrade. Have compared to the zx2 and pha3

Thanks for the info. What's the biggest and most obvious difference?

Anyone hear clicking sound using the balanced output when the song switches from dsd to mp3?

That is normal, and that is the relay working. It was there to protect the headphones socket which in turns protect the headphones

If it's clicking from the machine it's normal.
 
They put in a mechanical relay in there to protect the circuitry from the loud audio pops and cracks when the circuitry engages/disengages, so every time it triggers it makes a audible clicking noise.

It's not the clicking that bothers me it's the drop from DSD to MP3

Jaben hk has 4.4mm cable in stock but Sony store hasn't notified me since a month ago. They promised 30% off if purchase of the wm1a.

How long should I wait for Sony?

Thanks haha

 
A few of the Sony engineers on the WM1 team have old-man fetishes since they are from the analogue era where a lot of the stuff are mechanically operated and makes mechanical noises when you flip a switch or something. They like that throw back as well as the tactile feedback and designed it in there (absolutely no reason they can't put a silent electrical relay in there).  Same with the analogue metre that you can engage in the playback screen when they already have the multi-band visualizer.  No particular purpose except they just like it that way but one can argue it also gives the device some unique character.

Does these Sony DAP have good synergy with FAD FI-BA-SS?!

Dear all, this is my first post in Head-Fi.  I bought 1Z two weeks ago from my local Sony Store.  I didn't buy the Sony Kimber balanced cable.  So, I am waiting a good balanced cable right now... Hope I could find one soon
