My WM1Z are now up to 80hours...
Focusing on WM1Z right now, WM1A waiting to get some listening time.
At the moment my very old UE11 Pro has never sounded better with this slight.. :). equalizer adjustment.
Great imaging and soundstage, hearing details and nuances i've not heard before
Owning the DP-X1 previously it's a big difference, even thought the equalizer curve used then wasn't exactly the same.
Anyway, very satisfied so far, almost rethinking my plan for the A18 Tzar...

It is not even a ticking sound, because the “clicking” is mechanical relay, and it has nothing to do with volume increments....as it is mechanical :D
The closest thing I can relate it to is when a record player needle first drops on the the lp (crackle, soft pop ?) ... It's gone in less than a second and just on DSD files though. Strange. I'm wondering if this is common to all the WM1z/1a's or is my unit defective...

All 1A/Z will have this clicking sound, that is the mechanical relay switching. If it really is a crackling or pop, and not recorded in the tracks, then you must have a defected one for sure.

These relay clicks are when you plugged in and turned the power on or off

I have a question concerning the GUI: Does it look like this? So there is no folder structure available? Is it maybe on the second site of the start screen because I see the two dots at the bottom?

On the next screen by default (the two dots indicate two pages/screens) .You can also move it to the first, e.g you can move around all icons on these screens.

One more thing to add. I realised that this also occurs on PCM/FLAC files when I'm switching between 44.1khz & 48khz files (and all freq. multiples of that). Within the same base frequency no click & crackles.
Do you hear this as 1 click? I hear a several scratches, crackles , clicks....

Also with DSD every new track (1st half second) even on the same album?

If this is defective I'm bringing it in....

It has always been clicking sounds, and sometime it does more than once as 1 relay is turned off to turn on another

I got used to the clicking Sound, mainly happens when switching clocks 44.1 or 48 múltiples.

WM1A and z have folder structure

it depends on the performances, I feel the LVDi4 is an amazing iem, yes, it has some limitation but considering the sound it's second to none.
Hence I want to know more about these IEMS :), I know the lvdi4 is hard to drive.....but to me, that defeats the purposes of having IEMS....I rather cans
