Dang, it's been a week of me getting killed by allergies. Felt like my ears were in a constant state of pressure like during plane landings. Couldn't hear well at all - listening to headphones 10 dB louder than normal LOL. Finally getting past these seasonal allergies, but this year was worst than ever. Believe it was grass pollen.

It will be worse this summer due to lots of rain last couple of months.
Prevention is take a pill early in the morning before going out of house.

Just finished the steak.
Very juicy. Felt like melting in your mouth. Just like people said in Utube.
Best steak I've ever eaten so far .
Wife said do this once a year only please.

A teaspoon of local honey everyday helps a lot. Almost like magic

That's a very nice case! What case is it and where did you get it from?

It was bought here https://www.etsy.com/shop/VALENTINUM All of them are custom made per order so you can choose between different leathers, colors and stitching.

Now I plan to buy WM1A. Should I wait the next gen or buy it now? This model almost 3 years. Can anyone help me make a decision?

It's still very relevant after 3 years. I've on my hands brand new Ibasso DX220 and I can't decide objectively which is better. Ibasso is very neutral and transparent, and it's slightly better on technicalities. Sony on the other hand sounds more melodious and engaging being darker and more sparkly at same time. Subjectively I like WM1A more and wouldn't trade it for DX220.

Ibasso has more power and android with tidal, spotify etc but battery lasts around 6 hours when playing flacs 16/44 from sd card. I get over 20 hours of playtime on Sony.
