Hi. I need some help.

Picking up a WA8 which has a USB 2.0 type B input to use both the DAC and AMP. also has a line in if I want to use the 1z DAC and WA8 amp.

If I want to run digital out from my 1z into the WA8 USB 2.0 B would I need to get this cable (Sony WMC-NWH10 - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sony-WMC...2424?hash=item212be73108:g:6WoAAOSweNxZilcn)? it looks like it terminates in a female USB? so I guess I would need a male USB A to USB 2.0 B cable also? or get the Sony cable re-terminated to USB 2.0 B (which I definitely don't have the tools or skills to do lol).

Sorry I am a noob with the technicalities. Thanks for your help.

Yes what you said is correct. There are people who make custom cables but doing it the simple way is the cheapest way. If you like to use that setup at a desktop there are members who suggest the Sony NWH10 sounds better than the otg cable.

Thanks for confirming. I thought the NWH10 cable that I referenced was the otg cable. Sorry if I am missing something.

Depends on where you are. For Japan USB A->B are off the shelf. I have a cable version but if wanted just a straight adapter instead of cable I can find that too (but the WMC-NWH10 isn't a very flexible cable).

Personally I prefer to drive my earphones straight out of NW-WM1Z. IMHO, the WA8's strength is in the amp. The DAC is fine but (at least at my disposal), I have better.

Thanks - great to see photos of what I am looking for. I am sure here in Australia I will be able to find a USB A to USB B easy enough. Cheers.

I'm using a phone ring on a Benks clear case, and find that it makes carrying the WM1Z much more secure and comfortable. The gold ring is also a good match.

Yeah worth every penny quality machined and built to last, the 6.3 I put on my Aeons / silver cable is a beauty

Just one thing to note about the soldering of pure silver to rhodium .... it's a pain at times, just scrape or sand a small portion of the pin your going to solder to and tin with your solder so it takes the connection better and gives a stronger bond.

i am slowly but steadily turning to 4.4 balanced for my wm1a

after buying the pwaudio no5(with 4.4 termination) , i sent today my whiplash hybrid v3 cable for 4.4 retermination to forza audio (in poland)

very eager to hear wm1a in balanced mode

Just got my Zeus-X-RAY and PW Audio 1960 2 wire with a balanced adapter.....these things are impressive on the 1Z

Will we be able to use the new 400GB Sandisk microSD card on the 1Z/1A?

Bit early to tell, since nobody has got their sticky paws on one yet. Doubtless we'll find out soon enough though......

I will wait , until one has good/bad luck and reports back here

Very nice cable. Where did you buy it from and how long do you have to wait? Thanks
