Nice! Where'd you get a Sony OEM balanced plug cable for the Z7? I know they make one and include it with the Z1R, but afaik they don't sell it separately. I'm considering the exact combo you've got there and I thought the Kimber cable MUC-B20SB1 was the only option from Sony.

The OEM plug was a gift from @asquare3376

I ddn't know these were on amazon I tried buying them from the siite that was linked on here a couple of months ago. With shipping it came out to 40USD and that was with the cheapest shipping. My package was lost and they issued me a refund and then I saw these on Amazon. 9.99 free shipping.

It does cost more than the original price which should be about USD 4.50, but they are hard to get hold off, even though It's available in China for that price, none of the sellers will ship them out to Hong Kong, but other product they are willing to ship out, so at the end, I just used the original Sony plugs which only cost USD 1 each, and you do get a set with the ZX300, not sure about the WM1a/z models.

Anyway, they are with the money for USD10 with free shipping.

Just got this 4.4mm cable from a UK cable company (OIDIO sound) . Really nice and well done cable at a good price . The hd650 sound really good from the balanced output of the wm1a. I was a bit skeptical about it's ability to drive the hd650, but I'm actually satisfied with the outcome .

That article does not say a thing. I do know we have pretty big Sony camera presence in Asia. Amazing to see Sony get ahead in an arena which was only Canon and Nikon 10 years ago.

Sony is making decent money on audio visual and cameras, smartphone on the other hand they've been losing money for a long time. Logically speaking getting rid of smartphones is probably their first step, though I'd hate to see that happen as that means there's going to be no more widely available Japanese phone makers playing in the Android field (Fujitsu is limited to Japan and their phone quality is quite questionable, and Sharp is no longer Japanese as Foxconn bought them).

Fujitsu made one the best laptops in the late 90s. The build quality was exceptional, i wonder what happened to them!
