Wait, how do you manage that? If I put my WM1A without any case, it will touch my Peli Micro 1020's rubber lining on both sides. How is it you're using a leather case AND foam. Are you sure it's a 1020 ?I use pelican case 1020 with foam padding and it is perfect

Wholeheartedly agree with this. And that is using the 3.5 jack (using the pseudo balanced). The 4.4 balanced puts it way out and above what the zx2 is capable of.
I have been enjoying the WM1A with my custom Zeus XR-Adel and 4.4 balanced.
hey, can you share how wm1a+zeus xr sound like ? waiting on my zeus XR (non adel) seriously thinking of buying wm1a as an zx2 upgrade
btw , 1a is an upgrade over zx2 , right ?

Indeed, 1A is an upgrade from the ZX2.
As for Zeus & 1A, what you get is a very balanced, airy, neutral presentation (some would say bass light, I'm not one of them. Without ADEL, you'll be getting more bass anyway). Nice, wide soundstage. The Zeus is ridiculously detailed and clean. With the X setting, it's bassier and the midrange is right out front. Very exciting and bold. I prefer the R setting, however. Sounds more balanced to me and I love the top end extension.
If you prefer a bassier sound sig, you may be underwhelmed. If you prefer a more neutral sound, the Zeus will blow you away.

Don't think you'll regret it. I love mine very much. Great sound, and the battery life is awesome. Only thing is you'll have to splurge on balanced cables.

Hey I might sound like a crazy person here but I believe each DAC has a certain strength on how they deal with various files. Some like PCM best and some DSD. I feel WM1A deals with DSD alot better than PCM. For the fun of it I converted some PCM files to DSD and I sort of think Sony is using some DSP when converting DSD files that adds it this nice warmth that i gentle enough to make a nice fatigue free listening.

I don't have any problem playing 16bit/44.1kHz FLAC on my 1Z, sure it works on 1A
