I’ve put 450 hours on mine, and I’m just seven months in. You’re going to love it!

Output impedance:

„WM1Z and the WM1A are 0.94 ohms and 0.92 ohms respectively“

In that scenario I would not hesitate to go with the ZX300

But I already own 1 x 1A and 2 x 1Z

You wanted spotify streaming and usb dac. As the 1A and 1Z dont do either that is why I suggest ZX300. Seems you have bought the wrong players

I listened to Vivaldi arie dÓpera as DSD on the SE jack of my WM1A, sounded quite good to be non-native DSD playback (connected to the car AUX IN). some one know to which KHz/bit depth does DSD gets downconverted in SE?

..... TWO 1Zs.... For Spotify? Really?

My route:
WM1A -> AK240 -> X7mk2 -> SP1000Cu -> WM1Z
Hope this is the end...

What was it about the 1Z/SP1000 CU comparison that put you in the 1Z camp? I’d like to know.

Thanks

I guess it's already been said elsewhere, but SP1000 is technically superior to WM1Z in terms of resolution/separation/staging. SP1000 is analytic and sometimes sounds kind of cold even with the copper version, while WM1Z provides more organic and musical presentation that I like. I'm keeping both. I use SP1000 as a reference and some analytic listening. For the rest of the time and for my pure musical enjoyment, I use WM1Z.
BTW, I found U18 Tzar is excellent with WM1Z and Tia Fourte is sublime with SP1000Cu.

Two 1Zs, yeah I love them. I have a big local music library that fits in two 1Zs, but I would like to get rid of it and be able to somehow use Spotify with my WM1 players.

There is no way to get spoty on the WM1 series... unless sony decides to patch the FW and give us a USB-DAC update

How big is your music library? mne has grown to 960GB

Question:

Has anyone tried to use Fiio X5iii to stream Tidal to WM1A? (Wifi--X5iii--USB--WM1A)
Will it be better than iPhone? (iPhone--BT--WM1A)

Or what is the best way to stream Tidal to WM1A?

Guidance will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I know that. I had asked nothing, just told that I love streaming and therefore wish that USB-DAC function will come with the FW update. No advice needed ...

I‘m in the same ball park, about 1 TB.

The WM1 players can only play on board music files. No wifi, streaming og usb dac functionality. They support bluetooth for headphones, speakers and remote control

I have a Vivaldi album from naive records that I'd 16 bit 96KHz is a pretty odd album bit depth, yes sony recognized as HR
