I bought my ZX300 through them - I believe they sell the U (?) which is English, uncapped, remote capable models. They are very good to deal with - honest and quick to reply to questions and with shipping. I don't think Sony does international warranties, perhaps you'd have to send it back to them.

Thanks. I sent them an email.

I was going to recommend Minidisc.com.au for the cheapest price I had seen (AU$1364) which I paid 2 weeks ago, but I see they have put their price up to $1699, and their competitor also has done the same. I don't know the reason for the increase, but when deciding I had a thought that if companies are being cautious and holding back on new models for a while, and/or pricing increases because of manufacturing and freight I'd better jump in - so lucky I did.
Just my way of thinking but if you see a good price maybe jump on it now in case things change.

Are people here listening to their WM1A through the HD660s needing a headphone amp to do so? or no?

Nop, I'm using it directly to the pentaconn output and I don't think I need any external amp right know. Wm1a gives me enough power to use those headphones.

Hey thanks. What do you think of them? The combination? I’m reading reviews saying they’re good, but not quite worth even $400, a bit less. I’ve had $350 Sony headphones (ended up selling them) and assumed these would sound better.

Yes. Using a Woo WA3 for added power and tubey goodness.

Nice, bet it sounds awesome.

Anyone come across a small circular hard case for their iems where there's actually enough room for them? I have a pair of SE846s and the upgraded Sony cable which is considerably thicker than the stock cable. Every circular iem case I've found has a diameter of 3" or less inside, and I'm finding this just too small for these.

My Sony/Kimber balanced MMCX cable fits just fine with the 846s themselves in the original Shure case.

I was looking for something a bit harder, a hard case, that was maybe circular, not oval. Might be too much to ask however.

I use/like these AT-HPP300 cases.

These used to be available on Amazon, but currently, don't see any listings. May have to order from Ebay Japan

After trying most of the different custom FWs (tunings) I settled back on stock 3.02 J region on my 1Z. This combo with the ier Z1r is pretty hard to beat in my opinion.

There is a magic to it. Though I must admit I’ve not tried any other regions but U and J and have missed a few of the firmwares out there.

 

[Redcarmoose]

Wow. I wanted to ask questions about the MDR-Z1R but saw that thread was closed due to toxicity. Guess I can’t ask peeps opinions how it pairs with a certain DAC but I can see on this thread how it pairs up with the 1A and 1Z

Controversy is good at times.

Is this the Japan Tourist version and would it have a 1 year international warranty if bought in the USA?

Japan Tourist Edition is what I have, not sure about warranty, but normally it’s called Sony International Warranty? By the way, that price is amazing! It will be a U region model.

Cheers!

Yep, it would hurt nothing to do that anyway

Reflashing the stock firmware does not reset the played hours counter or settings or anything.

Too bad, unable to install Morgenstern two WM1A firmwares on my Window 10, i have lowered the malware sensitivity to lowest and giving exception to run, they are errors on the exe files, when I run them, no softwaretools window pop up but extraction file with errors.





I just installed RobertP's VinylA firmware, no problem flashing/installing, and I love this firmware with my WM1A 3.0.2 U region (J), more analogue/warm sound than previous firmwares, will listen to more genres for comparison.

Too bad, man.

They are packed exactly the same way, and they work fine on my computer, and not only. I have no idea what could be wrong on your computer.
