Is the converter plug to use a headphone that is balanced to 2.5 or 3.5 trrs ?
Christmas continues today.. Now we'll see if the amp can replace my moon 430 and if the 1z is worth to keep over the 1a, happy listening days ahead..
Well, i know what i will do the coming days every time i can get some quiet from kids and family
Is the Utopia a great match with the WM1Z.
Is the bass and warmth to much with the Z1R and WM1Z..
Is the Wm1A the sensible choice with better synergy with the Z1R... How will it fit the utopia.
And will the amp make it possible for me to sell my Moon 430 HAD (se ad) and fund a pair of CIEM... (eyeing the A18)
If i know myself the amp will end up at work and the WM1Z for on the move...
So far first impressions with the Z1R and WM1Z is that it's not at all that i expected, (expected even more bass, to warm etc) by reading comments, however i find it quite ok e.g. I like it!
ohh, and i kind of like the weight of the 1Z, feels solid, quality.. but i will not take it running..

hey @Whitigir , would a 2.5 into 4.4 adaptor have the same sonic quality as having your ciem cable reterminated into 4.4 ?
Guys, any thoughts on the following?
So far im not overly impressed with the performance of my Sony/Kimber cable balanced vs Alo Ref 8 single ended on the 1Z. Most reviews etc. say that balanced is the way to go but I've got to be honest at the moment I'm finding the Sony/Kimber/balnaced combo a little meh when compared to the Alo Ref 8. Nothing wrong with it I just expected more based on what I've read. Im thinking the Sony/Kimber cable maybe the weak link in the chain rather than the 1Z balanced output?
I would really like to hear your thoughts, experiences on this. I would particularly like to hear what cables you would recommend as I am considering buying a upgraded balanced cable to really get the best out of the 1Z.
The same ? No...but could you tell it ?
so it's better to just get an adaptor instead of reterminating my cables ? is that what you say ?
would you rather reterminate or get an adaptor ?
Or a moon 430 HAD...BIG CONGRATULATIONS! Hope, you will enjoy TA-ZH1ES. Waiting for your impressions - maybe it will be my late Christmas gift
to me it's as much to do with practicality, e.g. not needing an extra adapter, a long contact that might damage the player etc. As to if anyone hear a difference, some might do i guess, haven't done tests myself..so it's better to just get an adaptor instead of reterminating my cables ? is that what you say ?
