Since I still own both 1A and 1Z I'm able to compare side by side from time to time. To my ears the sonic difference between balanced and single ended is more pronounced with the 1A than with the 1Z.

How do you compare 1A and 1Z, SE or Balanced respectively?

  I've just been burning in and reviewing the Brise Audio UPG001HP pre-production cable for the NW-WM1A/Z Utopia :-
 

 
I'll put up my thought about it in a day or two. The guys in Brise Audio were kind enough to loan me this for 2 weeks after my visit to their listening room.

Hi what type Of cable Brise Audio UPG001HP is?
is that silver or silver plated gold or else?

I've made a large move and spend a large sum of money purchasing the 4.4mm cables of a large variety. It's a future that I like to support and be part of. I look forward to the future of the Walkman.

So you've adopted the standard already. Let's hope the other big players in the audio industry will soon follow.

Yes, I have had far too many issues with 2.5mm plugs. I have never had any issue with any of my 1/4 inch jack, some issud with 1/8 inch jack and far too many issues with 2.5mm jack. It is arguably the worst thing happened to this hobby.

FI-BA-SS single ended from 1Z is fantastic. I'm constantly amazed at what this single BA iem can do.

Indeed.  Fantastic synergy with 1Z.  One reason I am keeping FI-BA-SS for good.  It always amazed me.

Agreed...2.5mm was a not so good idea. The 4.4mm is super solid

Just a little OT, if we think the NW-WM1Z or AK380SS is expensive, well this used minidisc player just went for approx USD$14,081.23)!! Granted it's a Sony Qualia 017 and was $1900 in it's (2004) day :-

I saw this too. Might be the most expensive player ever.
