I learned one more difference between the 1Z and 1A.  Apparently the 1Z has a different and better SDK before the signal reached the S Master Chip. 


In which case someone would make a custom ROM for A? Of course made out of Z firmware! :D

The MUC-M2BT1 can connect to 2 device simultaneously, so you can listen to your music and standby for calls, also NFC function for quick pairing.

BUT, the WM1Z and M2BT1 just won't work after phone call. Music will keep jamming or fast forwarding while it automatically switch back to WM1Z. Consider that my M2BT1, Xperia X performance and ZX100 walkman works flawlessly with phone calls and auto switching, I don't think it works that well on WM1Z.

Of cause if you don't need that call function that's another story .

I got the M2BT1 today and I think LDAC does sound slightly better than SBC but I was getting a lot of interference while I was walking around the streets. Eventually had to switch to SBC... :frowning2:

Tried the LDAC connection preferred mode already? 

I initially tried the LDAC - Sound Quality Preferred mode and the interference I was getting in the streets was quite severe where the sound would just come out all garbled every minute or so. I then switched to LDAC - Connection Preferred mode and instead of the garbled mess I got drop outs every minute or so. I eventually switched to SBC - Sound Quality Preferred mode and found the connection to be very stable.

Hey guys, I should have my 1Z in a few hours and be able to find out for myself. But a quick question while I am waiting to those of you that have heard the 380 and the 1Z. I have been getting conflicting reports from different people. Some say, at least two to three, that the 1Z is better than the 380 by a long shot, while others say that it is only slightly better in some areas. Personal bias and motivation aside, the impressions shouldn't be that far apart right? What do you say?
