I thought you no longer have your Z1R?
What are your thoughts on cables for the Sony - which commercially available ones have you heard (as I realize you also build your own)?
As you know I sent my Z1R's back several months ago and currently use the Utopia's (with Kimber Axios). Well - I found that I also needed a closed back and just repurchased the Z1R's again as a second pair. Currently using the Sony/Kimber cable (all copper vs. copper/silver included in the box). So far nice sounding - however owning two pair of Axios cables I don't think I can live with this Sony/Kimber version - very cheap looking construction compared to the Axios.
I have a feeling even though they share the same DNA as genuine Axios cables - and are all copper like them - I have a suspicion that real Kimber Axios will beat them out.
I love to see a modded like redwieaduio mod the wm1a. It has potential. The repair manual for wm1a is out and it doesn't look too complicated.
Yes I am convinced that if I bring in a pair of "real" Kimbers (ie Axios) I fully expect them to be better than the Sony/Kimber version. I already own two sets of Axios - a 1.2m Pentacon terminated for the 1Z and a second 4m balanced XLR terminated for use with my Moon 430HA amplifier in my 2 channel system. Beautifully made - and sounding - cables.
Agreed about the Sony use of silver coated copper they for the Z1R's. They sound quite good as is. Is there any commercial cable manufacturer offering the same? I tried the Axios copper/silver hybrid and was not happy at all (on Utopias). I preferred the all copper version. Kimber is not silver coating the copper in this version. Instead 8 of the wires are pure silver and 8 are pure copper - both then braided together. Obviously this is quite different from silver coating all wires as Sony does with their supplied cable. That is why I ask if any comnercially available suppliers are offering silver coated copper.
It is interesting though that Sony consider the pure copper Sony/Kimber to be an upgrade over the supplied silver coated copper. Perhaps for them 8 braids of pure copper beat out a thin single strand of silver coated copper
Are you guys Hyped on the new ZX300? I am not as i have my trustworthy 1A. while USB DAC is certainly a plus, i am not so thrilled, perhaps because the update lifecycle is so fast.
moreover I bet the WM1A and Z will still be the Kings. I see the ZX300 ans in the middle of A30/40 and WM1x
So like I mentioned, I just received mine today. Initially I had a problem pairing as well, but I figured it out.
First, you need to make sure you're at the Remote Control Settings menu, as mentioned above:
Then you need to make sure the Hold button isn't turned on, on the remote. This was my problem, and why the remote didn't pair initially. (if the button is pushed up, HOLD is engaged, make sure this isn't the case).
Finally, from the Remote Control Settings menu, just click "Add Remote". Press any button on the remote (Play, Volume + etc), and it should automatically pick it up and pair.
Took me a while to figure out (my remote is Japanese, and my reading comprehension isn't as good as some here), but it works
