Does anyone know if there is an audiophile level USB line out dock for the 1/A or 1/Z besides the cheap stock version?

Only the modified one, which is modified from stock dock or dongle. I currently am using the solid OCC silver dock version to transport my 1Z into my Stax 009 setup

My WM1A has suficient power to drive some 2004 DELL Computer powered-speakers w/Subwoofer module, it needs only 90/120 Normal gain in SE, and to be heard in the whole house 120/120 SE normal gain

Where do you get this? Or do you mod it yourself?

Also is it a dongle or do you make it into a USB cable?

I modify it myself, and the dongle can be modified to be usb cables
Thank you, wish I have your talent. Would you mind post a picture of it for me to enjoy?

I'm a little late to the party. I just got my WM1A. Mine was already at version 2.0 Been using it with bluetooth with my 1000x's on my daily commute. Enjoying it so far. Been getting drops outs on my commute. I was not getting them with my iphone and 1000x's. I also been using the SE port with my HD-6xx at home. Almost have to have them at 100 to listen to them. I also been going through the older threads. Up to page 620 so far. Is balanced really that much better? I was looking at balanced for my commute I ordered the fiio 9 pro and the MEE balanced audio cable set. I got these because I can upgrade the iem's in the future if need be.

Yes, there are significant differences in sound quality between balanced and single ended. You will enjoy the balanced output for sure.

Which cable are you looking into and what kind of improvements are you interested?

I have the ares, eros, thor and Leonidas and they all affect the sound signature of my iems.

I’m looking improvements for wider soundstage, clearer instruments and vocal.

Forgot to mention the new cable EA is introducing right now, the Janus, it's a 8 wire cable that comes with 2 distinct sound signature, the basso and the dynamic, for what you are looking for I think the dynamic is the one, it's slightly warmer, what impressed me from the beginning is the great soundstage, unfortunately it cost $1400.
