Hi. Today, I found many scratches on the plastic frame around WMPort and they can't be wiped out. I'm wondering it's because of my improper behavior or it's normal (material and design issues).

None on mine yet, but I expect there will be over time, its just normal wear and tear. The metal part of the plug if not aligned properly will scratch the plastic.

To me the WM1Z sounds significantly better than the WM1A in regards to details and low end slam. Also with the WM1Z I feel the soundstage is the same width but much deeper, more 3 dimensional.

Exactly how they differ!

It probably depends on the IEM you use. Some are more transparent to the source than others.

Your right, but after months and months and 10 IEMs or headphones you do actually start to notice character. That character is also verified when a complete stranger comes to the same conclusions as you on line; regardless of equipment used or time spent. It’s actually the opposite at times when one DAP makes up for a lack of transparency and arrives at a good synergy with a particular IEM. But maybe some transducers are going to be a wash, not being as revealing to the signal at hand. In the end it’s just like people; some characters get along and some don’t. Lol

Does Zx300A package contains the dust plug /seal? I have just ordered one from joybuy.

Only the Japanese version comes with dust covers for headphone sockets and WM ports.

I've been looking at LDAC recently and wondering if anyone has compared a Bluetooth adapter with LDAC vs the 4.4mm balanced?

Also, is there any mmcx adapter other than the Sony one? If there's a good alternative than spending the $200 or so for the Sony one I would consider that.

I mean a mmcx bluetooth cable that supports ldac other than the Sony muc-b2t1
Have you considered something like the FiiO BTR3 or Earstudio ES100? I find both of those to be more versatile and better sounding than Bluetooth cables.
