Sorry this is a little bit of a DIY post of my WM-port LOD. Finally found an evening to myself with no kid touching soldering irons.
To answer @musicheaven
's question first...the wire I purchased was this :-

I thought the resistors would be the hard one to solder on but actually it was the wire. Stripping it was a little difficult but most of all it was easy to break (single core) and I broke the cables twice (R channel first at the beginning at the WM-port, which was ok, and 2nd was the Left channel at the WM-port -after- I had soldered on both ends, shrink wrapped everything, etc.....imagine the pain to have to open up everything again just to fix that up).
To buy this completed dock cable at e-earphone (without the Furutech FT-735 Rhodium plug) is Y15,000. In terms of parts to build this myself including the Furutech FT-735 Rhodium plug was approx Y8000, so I'm pleased.
Completed!
And thank goodness it works :-

ZX1 > WM USB out > m8 > tu-05 > th900.
Awesome.
thanks guys i think i'll go with fed-ex if at all possible with price-japan. heard stories of ems returing parcel back to sender due to battery restirctions(?)
Also which one is brighter? I & rudi alike, we love bright sound signature.
I would not call the ZX1 'bright'... it has lovely detail and extended highs, the bass is pretty awesome, I just wish the lower mids were a bit more forward rather than appearing to be slightly recessed.
rawrster must be charging the ZX1 and transferring music...
