Glad you've managed to find a player that you love, and saved a bunch of money in doing so!
One thing that I feel wasn't mentioned enough in this comparison is that the WM1Z is gold.
Am I shallow? One of the reasons I *had* to have it is the gold
I could probably be happy with the sound of a modded WM1A, but I know I'd always, in the back of my mind, be thinking wistfully about the gold WM1Z
Sony is only slightly dipped their toes in that game. AK players have every imaginable gimmick with coating... copper coated, stainless steel, gold version of sp2000.
And then there's advertised "different sound tuning" with blue, dark green of the same dap like sp1000m. On top of releasing a new model almost monthly.
