I don’t see why not

Upon close inspection of the screen I can see 1 lit pixel at the very top near the border of the unit.. dunno whether to even bother sending it back for such a small thing on a device you aren't supposed to be looking at! Now onto the series business of cases. I think the Miter case looks nice if it wasn't for that odd kickstand thing.. the TPU case is only in stock on Ali-Express. I'll order it but might get the Miter one to prevent my grubby hands dirtying it!

Did you end up sending it back? I found one on mine too...Nearly the same spot

Yes you can but since all Apple Music streams AAC, no need for wires. Just use the BT receive mode since it supports AAC. This is what I do with my iPad Pro and it works great with video too. No lag.

Meh Apple music and AAC rip off , i once tried AAC 256 kbps and the SQ was not good, instruments dancing around the sound stage, and disappearing instruments.

For me FLAC and DSD do the trick

From all the problem...the instruments confused imagines such as dancing around the stage....I hate the worse

Well Tidal is mostly cd quality or better if you buy the top tier.

Depends on the file you play and the codec you connect with. An aac file would probably sound the same but a hires file would most likely sound better played on the 1Z

Cd quality is 16/44.1

LDAC is 24/96 capable...so that is 2X as much....you can still do wireless

Yes at up to 990kb but not that many ldac sources out there

I am streaming using Samsung S9+ to wm1z. ust realise that I need select ldac 960kbps (under developer option for audio codec via bluetooth). will try again tonite.

Many android 8.0+ will allow LDAC

 

[Redcarmoose]

LDAC is the future....IMO.
I don’t have great LDAC headphones yet, though I figure they will offer nice MMCX and two pin LDAC cables soon for our current collection of IEMs. I did hilariously transmit LDAC from my 1Z to 1A and it was a great improvement over the AAC I’m used to?
