Hahaha... "Value for price"
People owning the Gold walkman aren't supposed to use such terms

[My one and only OT post of this subject]trust your ears guys
btw , this Nathan guy seems to have the sentiment of a robot - people like this seem to lack EQ , which separates us from machines
everything to him is bits and bytes of information , just decoding like robots
personally, his opinion is of zero importance to me
just my 2 cents.
I've known Nathan for about 5 years and think that's (in bold) a little uncalled for. I agree that his blog entry on the NW-WM1Z is very focused and not a holistic review however did we ask ourselves if it was meant to be? To me it's more a supplement to Berkhan's (afterall Nathan blogs for both his own ohm-image and Headfonia).
Personally I don't hear hiss out of my NW-WM1Z but my hearing is hampered with tinnitus. Even for those products where I do hear hiss like the CL Theorem 720, I don't get bugged by it but I don't speak for everybody and hiss does seem to bug others. My NW-WM1Z is still my TotL DAP but its lead is -very- closely followed by the iBasso DX200 with Amp3 (not Amp1).
Bottom line is all these reviews and measurements from other reviewers are pieces of information for the readers - they are not decision makers to tell the reader to buy or not. These pieces of information isn't just only about the product but also the style of the reviewer. To simply dismiss a reviewer based on an opposing point of view is also unwise. In my years of interaction with Nathan, there are probably just as many points where I agree with him as there are where I disagree with him.
[End of my OT post of this subject. Hereafter, PM me for further thoughts on Nathan]

A pretty picture, but that is about all. A confusing and somewhat incoherent article. I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think Nathan digs the 1Z - at all. And what's with the getting warm stuff - and back to the hissing? Why is it that nobody mentioned the hissing for what, 11 months - and then one person perceives it and all of a sudden we appear to have an angry snake in our pockets that apparently all critics can hear. I've not perceived it - but then again, I've only listened to my unit for a mere 500 hours. Under what conditions was the hissing "observed"? In terms of output quality, how much play time did this unit have? I don't mind criticism - 'tis to be encouraged as after all, it is one of the ways this sort of technology advances. I do however like to read objective articles. I've ponied up my very hard earned, and thoroughly enjoy my hiss free golden child - but articles like this really are rather pointless and appear to be more about the individual's ego and a bit of Sony slamming rather than anything useful. I'm sorry to have wasted a portion of my life reading it really. Nice picture though.
One person's view is just that, his personal view.

The just reward of checking their site every single day for MONTHS I guess Didn't realize it is sold out already. My bad (Not that I'm regretting or what XD)
Ordered last Friday, got it today. Not sure if they are gonna do another run of it though, interested parties better fire them a email or two, their CS is surprisingly responsive and helpful.

OMG
The Holy Grail!!!
More pictures please!
You asked for it
I like how they are reverting to this smooth leather for this production - I didn't check before ordering and was worried they'd use the suede in the dolis sky blue variant. Now it's all good, like it's said here:-
So damn beautiful.You asked for it

sigh... at least you had the option of getting it from the website direct. We in Singapore aren't allowed to buy from them because of a regional distributor.

That's why we have buying agent and shipping company's to do the work for us, expensive, but we have no choice.
lol... If I knew how to do that for this transaction, I'd have done so! so sad to have missed it.

Not a bad thing, at least you save $$$, it should be expensive, it's only a temporary hype.
