  Just ordered a new wm1a. Hope this is worth the money because it did hurt me spending this amount on a player

​When i ordered mine it hurt me too But is well worth the money after 500h burn in time approx 2 and a half months like me 8 to 10 albums  a day

Are you listening on balanced? 
 
Too bad that all my  headhones  are only SE cabled. Have to figure something out because I don't want to recable every single one to 4.4.

The only way to use the 4.4mm balanced out is to recable (or reterminate if stock cable has 4 wires all the way) to balanced, you just can't use the 4.4mm with a single ended phone

​I ma currently on SE, will latter order from pLussound an adapter for the dual 3.5mm TRS cales of my MDR-Z7 & XBA-Z5
 
bot phones have a balanced cable for my case but are dual 3.5mm TRS males, but thanks to plusSound figured out i can order an 4.4mm Male to dual 3.5mm TRS females only needing to swap the SE-cables to the balanced equivalent (currently sitting on their box) from both Z7 & Z5

Yep get phones balanced and then have a collection of adapters for different use. I think I have 6 different adapters to 2x3-pin xlr, 4-pin xlr, speaker taps, Kobiconn, 4.4 mm, 3.5 trs and 2.5 trrs. Am missing the Hirose

I like the Hirose, very good quality but a pain to solder/make up. I mostly use all Kobiconn now with adapters. Extremely good for this as I have most all my cable not terminated with Kobiconn and then any connector I want works. Whiplash has the modular system using it and it is a great way to go, IMO.

Speaking of adapters... has anyone been able to locate a female 4.4mm balanced --> male 3.5mm SE adapter?  Would be nice/preferred to minimize the stress on mmcx connectors when I want to listen to gear other than the wm1a, such as a desktop setup, etc.

Yep I'm on TWau Reference on my 3 main phones terminated in Kobicon although I reterminated the JH13 to 3.5 trrs for easier use with ZX2 and then have a 3.5 trrs female to Kobicon. All my other adapters are Kobicon to whatever

I think it was mentioned earlier in the thread that at least one place in Japan have a 4.4 female plug for diy use

Yeah, I remember that; I was thinking of something more along the lines of the no diy, ready to purchase and use variety...

  I assume it's probably a bit early for those to start popping up, though.

Currently I enable the WM1Z not to charge over 90%. Do I need to do a full charge once a month? I do it for the AK240.

I do that too once amonth set a full charge or do it two times in a month.

Hi gerelmx 1986,

May you share with me how to do a full charge on WM1x?

Are you re-charge it when the battery low message start blinking or until the battery gone? Also unclick the 90% option?

Thanks

​After the month i do a full charge, I do: a) untick the batteryCare option and B) i let it turn off by itself
 
during normal charging cycles i have the batteryCare On and as asoon i see it flashing i charge it
