How are you connecting 1z with this amplifier?

Probably via a cable from the 3.5mm headphone out to a line in on the amp

 

[Lavakugel]

Have to try the same on my Taurus but I only have a crappy cable here

How are you connecting 1z with this amplifier?

As u see, 4.4mm Balanced out into XLR 3 in the back of the amp

My cables is also the Z1R cables, or Z7 cables. It has 3.5mm dual ends, and I do use adapters that I made

How are you guys holding your 1z in hand?
 
I feel my 1a is already quite heavy and 1z is double that weight...lol

Finally got my hand on the Sony Remote. Using the clip to clip on my sling bag and accidentally dropped it when removing. Now the locking mechanism for the clip is missing.
Sigh....

Yep, after years of using ZX1, the WM1A feels enormously big and very heavy. It's already a bit heavier than what would really be comfortable to use, and I can't even imagine using something heavier, let alone double the weight. Apart from the jacks being located on the top of the device, this is the biggest drawback for me.

Not directly related to the Walkman, but I saw this and thought it was a surprising yet welcome move:

That's a good move, so SONY can sell more headset and push this technology.

Just ordered the NW-WM1Z (and Campfire Audio Vega). I've tried skimming through the thread, but is there anything I should know about this device before getting it? Any tips or tricks? The only thing I wish it had was a line out so I could use it as a player and dac into an amp. I'm looking forward to joining the club! I owned the AK380 but was disappointed.. how much power does the NW-WM1Z push through balanced versus the 380?

Thanks for any help and suggestions!

I recieved my 1Z and Vega last week. I ordered a reference 8 cable with balanced end, I can certainly hear a difference verse the 3.5. Congrats! It's a great combo!

Awesome! Looking forward to it. I ordered the Sony 4.4mm cable that was a collaboration with Kimber. Seems like an amazing kable and made specifically for this dap.

1A and 1Z do not support "USB Audio" mode. Not sure if Sony will add this feature in future FW since they can sell you a PHA instead.

Not true my 1z support USB audio
