Any tips for optimal burn in time if buying a used Wm1z?

You will notice a big change around 40 hours, after 200 hours they will be great, but continue to climb. Before 100, below quality of potential. IMO

What IEM do you recommend for the WM1A and in general? Budget: 500$ - 1k$
Acoustune HS1650CU and HS1670SS is pretty good with WM1A if you like DD iem.

Optimal burn in is 550hrs each for 3.5mm and 4.4mm.

If you want to burn in 1 only. Recommend to burn in 4.4mm.

When you get it you can go into settings and see how many hours it has already played but it will not show you how many were single ended and how many were balanced. Sony’s own recommendation is 200 hours per output

Personally I find great synergy with the RHA CL2, lovely rich warm tone... downside, they take a lot of experimentation with tips and cables to get right.

The WM1A does work best with iems, but even though people say it doesn't have enough power, the headphones I've tried with it sound pretty good as well. I have a Sennheiser hd6xx that sounds great, except it could use a bit more bass. My ZMF Eikons sound even better, though not quite as good as with my desktop amp.


I'm curious. Are there daps that power cans really well, guys?

Lotoo Paw Gold, and soon to release Lotoo Paw Touch. Their output is insane for a portable.

Does anybody have any idea why an album that begins with B would now have decided to move to the top of the list above albums above A?

Maybe because there is a blank before the B ?

Are you sorting by Album Artist or Artist?
Also, your metadata file may contain a Sort Order tag (or two):
- Album Artist Sort Order
- Artist Sort Order
