I want the 1Z for home, and I'll use my 1A on the go.

When I'm traveling locally I use the 1A, for long flights and vacation I use the 1Z.I want the 1Z for home, and I'll use my 1A on the go.
If you know the difference between an organic vs a "solid state" sound, then you can imagine the difference that the 1z brings more of over the 1a.I have Lotoo Paw Gold 2017, Questyle QP1R, and Sony NW-WM1A. I am very happy, but still lusting after the Sony NW-WM1Z.
Absolutely no solid state sound.
That's why I choose this unit over ALL the other players.
Don't be fooled by an exited exaggeration of detailing or liveliness that latest players can have.
None will have the organic, non-solid-state sound.
Exaggerated width, or distance, or low level sounds will not give you the "natural", organic presentation of the 1z.
Now you tell me?!Yeah, well...brightness of the screen not only take a toll on your battery consumption level, but also increase the background noises as well. Do not start paying attention at it now . But this is the real reason why the DMP-Z1 has such a gigantic build with small and very little screen. This minimize the radiated noises coming from the touch screen panel

I changed and upgraded my case protection for the added weight of the 1z.
I had the Red Dignis leather case, and it was very strong, thick, and very high quality shaped leather, but it always leached out a bit of red color when wet or rubbed alot.
So I changed to this case and very happy with the thick leather plus added protection of lid.
The problem was finding this case. Then I found it here, and it can be very customized.
Then have it in yet another small hard case:
For even more added protection.
Plus screen protector too.

I have heard the 1Z and love it for that very reason. I do, however, get in solid state moods at times, which is why I have to save rather than unloading currently owned equipment.

organic or solid state it doesn't matter, if you don't have good collection of music like me.
I did try 1z and like a lot, but no use for me. Cannot even think of Bluetooth route for Tidal Maters, it will still sound meh even via LDAC.
