I see you have zx-507 right? so tell me how do you like it? Did you ever had a wm1z or heard one? Also how you find zx-507 vs 1a?
I haven’t heard the WM1Z. Below is my comparison from a couple of days ago of the ZX507 and WM1A.
The WM1A would not have been a better option for me, since I’ve owned and sold it twice. Having had personal experience with it, I can say with confidence that the 1A has piercing treble, and sounds a bit thin in the mids. A player of that price should have excellent note weight and it doesn’t. The ZX507 is better in both of the aforementioned areas, as it does have smoother but still detailed treble that is not fatiguing, and it has nice thickness in the mids. It also has better bass quality than the 1A. The ZX507 goes deeper and from memory has better bass accuracy, in that it can produce all kinds of bass really well, with no bleed into the mids. The WM1A has the ZX507 beat on soundstage width, battery life, and power out of the balanced output. You also get more options for sound customization with the pure Sony UI. The ZX507 with just its Sony app and excellent sound quality can rival the WM1A. It takes it on well and can beat it in many areas.
