So quick question, recently had the opportunity to demo the wm1z. I used atlas and legend x both with warm cables. Does anyone think a brighter headphone works better with the wm1z?

impressions VS WM1A welcome

I will try to do some A and B testing. I cannot imagine myself loving anything more than I love the 1A already! Still, I lust!

I simply cannot get enough of this song on the NW - WM1A. I strongly recommend the Sony players for anybody who likes metal, or more aggressive music. It takes the harshness out, without taking the bite or musicality out. Sony has really accomplished something very special with the signature series. I am in awe, and I'm thankful to God for Sony engineers. I'm not worthy. LOL

Please leave impressions. Excited to hear what you think.

I am still waiting for the player's owner to burn it in

Dignis does USA shipping, but it will cost >$25. I just was going to order the Walkman case until the shipping price popped up... dark blue will have to suffice.

Looking for the Mashushino case

Some late night listening

Just curious, have you ever in your life play anything on your Daps besides Classical music?

Guys,

What would you choose between Campfire Andromeda and Noble Kaiser Encore to pair with a Sony Wm1A?
For those who had the chance of comparing the two IEMs, is there a noticeable difference between the two?

Thanks a lot in advance!

First, is this the thread?
(https://www.head-fi.org/threads/fli...al-high-end-portable-audio-discussion.826876/)

Coming back to your question, my budget tops at around 1900 dollars. I have to mention that I am not listening to EDM, but to classical electronic (Tangerine Dream etc.), rock, acoustic, folk, classical music (a lot!).

I was looking deeper into the Andromeda, however, the opinions differ in line with the musical preferences of each reviewer (e.g. an EDM fan has told me that Andromeda is "lean").

The Noble Encore seems - again, according to reviews - to be more musical and and to have a higher resolution than the Andromeda. The treble also is said to be more "tamed" when compared to the Andromeda.

What I really need?

Now I am using the IE800 from Sennheiser, but I really don't like their mid section, it's too recessed and congested I would say. Someone was saying (using a nice metaphor), that listening to the IE800 is like listening in a vacuum room...
Relative to this setup, I am interested in a IEM with a more forward mid section and I am (of course) planning to use the balanced port.

Thanks a lot!

Oh, hell YES!
I have 2 and thinking of getting a third. All different colours
I'll make a post about this and other cases later

@NaiveSound is selling his Zeus XR for 1700 dollars , this is a true TOTL iem with 2 signatures which is crazy helpful (and one of the 2 signatures is Zeus XIV which is mid-forward vocal marvel)

just a thought here

A great pair with the wm1a/z as well. You have the same combo right proedros?
