What is the nicest case you guys have seen for 1a/1z
Fun - the Dignis Limited edition Retro Walkman case
Cool - the TPU benks clear case
Stylish - these Dignis brown leather cases, these match the gold well


I would also include Musashino Label amoung the best options for leather cases for the 1A/1Z.

The 2 of the 3 IEMs due to come out cost roughly the same or more than a WM-1A.
Honestly I’m sick of the over the ear models companies are coming out with.
I feel the distance from my ear to the head has increased a bit‍♂️

I guess WM series have been built very versatile for easy upgrades by software.

I dont think we get a new V2 model so soon.

BT was always there. The remote is a BT controller and the WM1 pairs with speakers.

I know Bluetooth was always sending. I have used it. But receiving BT from a phone and being a DAC and amplifier is what a BT receiver does. So what I was saying “is a receiver inside the 1Z/1A? Do you have to buy the remote? Seems wild as the only place the remote is sold in the world is Japan. Though I would almost believe it as Japan likes to have “Japan Only Stuff”.

It’s fine to do but your double amping. Most of the time we try to avoid the process as it adds a noticeable degradation. I tried the dongle to go digital out to a separate DAC, but it didn’t work. The dongle does get digital out to the TA headphone amp. The TA has a line out for headphone amplifiers. You would switch to volume adjusted line out if you were in connection to a power amp.

Whats BT receiver though?

Like similiar to what the shanling daps have?

Most use it if you have a steaming provider for music on your phone.

But in theory you could watch You-Tube videos on your phone as listen with the DAC/amp of the 1Z/1A or use either in combination with the TA amp.
