Ordered the 1Z yesterday after seeing the price for $2699.00, got the 256G Samsung card as well.
I need 4.4 to 2.5mm plug, any recommendations?

I want the clear Benks case but can't find it on Amazon, and having a problem on the Chinese sites, help help!!

I buy this cable balanced for Utopia, 8N OCC copper conductor With Silver plated, it sounds smooth but great details, articulate. I'm in love...

Your look very small and stiff :) here is mine. I hope u did pay a good price. These are counterfeit plugs for 4.4mm and LEMO, both are Cheaper than original LEMO and Pentaconn

I don't like big cable Python's style like The original Focal, this cable cost about 110€, for me is a good choice.
I also have a kimber by sony, modded by me, about 220€,, I can not say it sounds really better, this has more detail and is very handly.

You do know the sizes of the internal wires on WM1A/Z is 22AWG perpolarity ? Now if you use smaller sizes per polarity for "Headphones"....but as long as you hear it and like it, that is all the matter

Hello, someone knows why sometimes it sounds a "click" sound at the start of the songs? I remember I heard them frecuently with the 1.10 version but not with the 1.20 version. Now with the Melissa Menago Little Crimes, each time the song finishes and starts the next, a little "click" sounds at the start. If I rewind to the start, it doesn't sounds, only when one song finish and the next starts. The files are legal from HDtracks, un 192/24 FLAC. I have tried FLAC uncompressed, even ALAC but always sound. In other files, it sounds good without click, I only remember this album with this problem. Any idea??

If it only happens with this album then probably corrupted file during download. I'll recommend re-downloading the files.

@goyete are you playing mp3 or aac files? I don't really know if this new OS add support o gapless, for lossy files.

if files are flac, then checl what nanaholic said about the corruption. My advice is that corruption can also happen from a defective hard-drive, a bad file transfer (e.g. removing the USB cable, without first performing an eject hardware)

I've seen, but personally, I think this good cable, also because my current reference is the Kimber by Sony that costs twice.
The cable sounds like Kimber with the same consistency, but with more detail, at the price paid I find satisfied.
If I look at the cypher cable of the Isine10, about a hair, and how they sound fine, wow, the cable is definitely not the main problem for me.

Last week I terminated my Ultrasone Edition8 with the Pentaconn OFC.
I have no idea if it is the fact that it is now balanced, the better connector or simply the fact that the 1Z is better through balance, but I like what I am hearing.
The soundstage opened up, the bass is more or less the same, but most importantly, although the trebles are maybe even more extended, they are less sibilant.
As a result, I feel the Ed8 sound more natural.
I actually was not listening to them anymore, replaced at home by Stax and on the go by inears, but they are now getting ear time again.

I am really impressed with Shure SE846 with ALO Audio Reference 8 balanced cables out of the Sony NW-WM1A balanced headphone output. Sounds awesome.
