My OTG lightning to Sony port cable that I got from taobao has arrived. Well it works with my zx300 so it should works with wm1a/z as well. The seller also sells with micro usb & usb c.

nice cable.

I prefer the 2 piece solution. the profile is very close to a one piece solution and I can charge the player without having to keep the longer cable with me. it also helps to have a power bank with attached micro USB cable

Have you had a chance to compare the sound against adapter + cable?

I checked that in Germany, WM-NW1Z Euro 2695 in Saturn, Amazon and mediamarkt. I am now in Germany on business trip. Is that a bargain? I heard europe model is slightly muted for safety and i am running planar. not good.

Last week i wrote sony WM-NW1Z cost Euro 2695, this week it drop to euro 2585. I am surprise, is there a new model announce soon, they are dropping the price left and right.

Does the EU allow for fixed MSRP or does EU allow for prices to adjust to currency fluctuations from outside the EU like the Japanese Yen? If it is the latter, small changes in exchange rate comes out to a decent amount on a 2500+ Euro item.

Looking for my first dap, question: can WM1 be used to feed into an amp? Amp I'm considering using with accepts se and balanced.

yes you can. I use a 4.4mm to dual XLR to feed my amp. Just make sure you go single ended to single ended, OR balanced to balanced. Don't mix and match.

Also the wm1a does NOT have a dedicated line out mode. I just set the volume on the wm1a to about 90%.

here in europe , they never adjust price to currency. i think sony is bringing the price down here. something is coming.

As Sony hasen't announced anything yet I don't expect to see anything until the autumn at the earliest

I’m looking to try the balanced output, and am hoping to get the Sony balanced Kimber cable for the Z1Rs.

Just double checking that I can add an adapter to the cable jack that takes it to SE 3.5 for use with non-balanced amps etc, and also 4.4 to 2.5 balanced. (The other way wouldn’t work though, SE to balanced). I don’t want to buy 2 sets of Kimber cables you see!

Can’t seem to find the Kimber cable anywhere in the UK

Yes you can use a female 4.4 balanced to male 3.5 single ended.

Cheers - I thought so, but knew I had better double-check! Now to find the cable in the UK without having to import......

Thanks I saw that, but £700 for the Axios is a little out of my budget at the moment! If they sold, oh, 20 cm of it I might be able to afford it!
