Give it a week or two and it will be hisstory.

Is it hiss like a cat's hiss, or hiss like a rattlesnake's hiss? Do dinosaur experts think that the Tyrannosaurus Rex hissed?

Hissy fits over hiss...

I'm feeling left out - I GOT NO HISS! Might return my 1Z and see if I can get one with attitude - one that hisses

It’s not a true 1Z unless it hisses.

Yes, and the value of the unit will increase through the time. Is going to be an investment, forget the stock market, buy a WM1Z that hiss!!!

Hello, a question for the bluetooth remote? Is there any way to turn on the screen of the WM1 from the remote? Only turn on the screen? Volume up for example, turn on the screen? Thanks!

In a way I'm not really surprised CEOs from JH and 64 are WM1Z users.

The team behind the 1Z not only captured good sound, but the interface is also spot on. It is well put together and more importantly it also feels less of a smartphone (especially compared with DAPs running skinned Android) and more of its own category of device, especially with the analog touches the designers put into the package such as the layout or the spectrum and volume meter which aims to mimic the action of actually turning a knob. I believe the 1Z team and the headphone CEOs are from the same generation - the ones which had fond memories growing up at the peak of analog era listening to vinyls and tapes and playing with tube amps and FM radios then transitioned into the digital age of CDs, so I believe they speak the same "language", and thus the 1Z appeals to them on that sort of emotional level which people from the same generation usually shares. Whereas a lot of the other DAP makers are purely products of the digital age and appeals to a much younger crowd.

Us older folk have better taste than the younger generation and pay attention to detail quite bit more but that’s just my opinion.

It's not just young people though, in general I would say there is a widespread lack of appreciation for professional work and how much time and effort good design actually costs in the digital age where every one is a "creator" due to wide availability of cheap and powerful tools. It's true that anyone now can make products for cheap, but they are also not of the same level of quality.

From my previous experience with Sony zx2 I know the sound signature on Sony DAPs fluctuate a lot till the sound settles down. I see similar performance with Sony wm1z. I am about 300 hrs in (200 balanced, 100 SE).. about upto 150 hrs balanced I enjoyed the sound with Sony enhancements. I used DSEE HX "strings" and D.C. Phase linearizer set to "Type A Low". However after 180 hrs in on balanced I don't like the sound with enhancements anymore , I feel like they are masking details a lot. Now I absolutely love source direct.. so all you users of wm1z can you share your experience during burn in.. just curious to see how many use just source direct ..
