IMO, if your IEM is low impedance and efficient (high sensitivity), there will be no subtle difference between 3.5mm single ended and 4.4mm balanced.
However, if your IEM/headphone is high > 50ohm and sensitivity lower than 100 dBSPL, the sound difference between single-ended and balanced can be easily distinguished .
Again, everyone hear things differently, there are many other factors affecting the sound...
Well for me its as if Sony did not put much effort into 3.5mm performance... As it did not sound MUCH better then my v30, not enough to have a dedicated Dap anyway. 4.4mm balanced however is another dimension. And my iems are rated 32ohm max.
It will depend on what iems you use of course. And maybe even what genre you are listening to.
But again, i do agree that we all hear it different so the above is my take on it. And there is no wrong or right when it comes to listening experience...
Well Unless you are buying $1.5k Dap to stream Spotify haha. Jk jk. Im sure someone does that too.
I find USB-C cables very flimsy compared to wm-port cables which have lasted more than 10 years for me.
Anyway, I had to take out all my dance tracks from 1Z and put it on 1A, as I found dance music was way to bassy for me on 1Z. So now my 1Z is loaded with rock and pop music.
Bought a Dignis case on May 2019 and one the sides is starting to taking off. I've just contact them and they've said me
"it can be repaired to be judged by the photo, but customer have to pay shipping fee of two ways". I wouldn't think of paying those shipping costs and possible customs costs upon receiving the return package. If I know that I won't buy covers on that website again. I'll try to paste it myself with special skin glue.
Who would have known that LDAC was the magic touch to make the mdr 1a sound good. Playing spotify (ik...) using bt func. on wm1a tames the sparkly treble of the mdr 1a.
Win the Ebay auction is the only way to get it cheap. Otherwise you can buy used for around this price range too. Have to wait until some vender put it on auction.
