I have multiple CD albums in separate folders , so one folder for.album x CD 1, another folder for album x cd 2 and so on

I prefer to have the whole thing directly in one folder but this is purely personal preference

I have found that if you are ripping CD's the easiest thing to do is use the Sony Software (Music center for PC). It names files, download the album cover and all that transfers over when you. You don't have to do a thing withe the files, the album art. It's seamless.

I use EAC for ripping and mp3tag for metadata and find images manually as I like full control over what happens

Any news/leaks about next generation DAP replacement for WM1A/WM1Z?

Not yet, but there some information about the successor of ZX300.

amazon uk shows WM1A out of stock , hoping this doesn't mean that they pulled the plug

also amazon.de has WM1Z for 2245 euro , which seems like a good price

Does the WM1A sound identical to the WM1Z? I can buy it quite cheap, hence it got my attention.

And does it really have 30 hours of battery life?

They do not sound identical. I get 20-25 hours play time with 16/44 flac on balanced normal gain with no effects turned on. I never turn the player of and recharge once a week so if you turn it off between sessions you can probably reach 30 hours. High gain, hires files and effects will reduce battery time

Can NW-WM1Z rock "MrSpeakers AEON Flow Open"? They have a sensitivity of 94 Db and an impedance of 13 Om.

It could drive a HiFiMan HE-6 to acceptable loudness on high gain for me but it was no where near well driven

Well, if HiFiMan HE-6 pulled, then MrSpeakers will be uneasy.

I would think the HE-6 is harder to drive

is this true ? low gain drains the battery less ?

Correct, at least when compared to high gain at the same volume level

Hey everyone. My current setup is the WM-M1A and Shure SE846. My IER-Z1Rs will be here Tuesday.

I’ve heard some say the 1A can be better than the 1Z at times, but would it be worth for me to have both the 1A and the 1Z for the IER-Z1Rs?
