You're probably joking but lots of people who buy gear this expensive believe in some of the most outlandish crazy things like that. In the ak380 thread I got banned for making fun of everyone who jumped on board the idea that it sounded way better without the leather case on. I felt like I was going to go nuts reading that type of stuff. I see it all the time too, even in this thread. :rolling_eyes:

Yes i was joking making fun of these outlandish stuff we see here often

My xba-3 had oem cable with SE plug. Burn in for 300hrs and the bass is nice and loud.
With 25 awg cable 5 feet long on balanced side, I got a more bass and sub bass. This is 50 hrs burn in. Overall SQ on low gain, I feel like it's a little bit veiled but still better micro details and echoes when compared with SE. On high gain, SQ is much better. Nice and airy, good depth of dimension and even deeper sub bass. But everything seem bit too analytical and bright for me.
With 26 awg and a shorter 4 feet cable, the bass is noticeable less but tighter. I feel more weigh and texture form guitar strings and drums. Sub bass is better than SE side. Everything seem natural and open. No need to enable high gain at all. Ideal for classical musics listening.
Choose the right cable for your DAP. Cables do make a difference.

Maybe I should shorten 25 awg cable to 3.5 feet and test SQ again.

I formatted the walkman internal memory and it deleted some files like the devicon and capabilites or so and media go does recognize it as walkman but no model is hsow and no image
 
it was formatted using the DAP itself

I had tonnes of bass on Balanced. It's good quality bass.

When i switched to a 8 braided copper the bass is too much for me and too much echos. Like i am in a very small room.

Must be a bug from the OS, my previous walkmen A818, X1060, A17 and ZX100 always recreated these files when you selected format system storage

​sony mexico sells it for $20K mexican pesos about $1100 US Dollar (Price show withouth VAT) vat is usually 16%, with that the final mexican Price would be $1400 pesos less expensive tan what i got it with AJ
I think Sony really needs to get their pricing more fair globally. It is crazy these differences from territory to territory


Yup Sony does practice regional pricing structure...but to my advantage :yum: can't complain as I'm getting my 1Z for snipped (edit: way lower than in N.A and Europe, tax and all ) :joy:
