But then Avsl is an option for the user and not "impossible to remove". You can turn on and off

Exactly. And the difference between the capped VS uncapped WM1 units is the ability to enable/disable the High Gain setting which is only available on the uncapped version.

Thank you for letting us know.

@jason, any news regarding your information that every unit worldwide has the volume cap? I thought it was established that some have the high gain feature and some don't, not sure how that figures in.
I've been trying to confirm what @witigr posted v what I got. It's the holidays and this makes it more difficult to get data but I'm on it because I thinks it's good data to have for the ability to make choices.

I do mostly post about the 1Z. It's because we as dealers will be able to deliver them this gear and many before xmas. Right now the 1A is scheduled for release late February to early March. With that said, we as a group have been in talks with Sony to release a month earlier. We've all logged the requests from you, the consumers and we believe because of your enthusiasm toward aquiring the unit we are very close in this campaign to getting it done. They can do it. It's now a matter of getting them to do it. Sony is a big group of companies. It's slow and very difficult to navigate through all the people making decisions. The good thing is the big multi-leg octopus is waking up and starting to come to understand reason in our efforts to get this stepped up and scheduled sooner. We would like to thank those of you helping us through this release and for your ability to be patient. This has been a very tough ride. So again thank for the support and the kind words. I promise the release team of stores will all be on their toes getting as much out before the holiday as we can. Sony sure didn't give us a lot of time to get it done but we'll give our best. ......FYI, had we left this to the big online guys you would not receive anything before the end of January. I was given that heads up by a few at the top of Sony NA today.

Have a great holiday!!

 
Hi Jason,
 
Can you confirm that you will be able to ship out the 1zs to your pre-order customers before X-mas? That is how I am reading your post, but just want to confirm before I start looking at accessories...
 
Thanks!

Thanks!
that's what our friends at Sony tell me. We are shipping all pre-orders out on "overnight" shipping to insure this as much as we can.

Great, thanks Jason! I know you guys are doing your best... Sony really needs to get their sh!t together if they miss the holiday season for their signature product portfolio.

I got an 1Z. Because I believe that in same price level, you can get somethings much better than 1A. I have a EU version of 1A, didn't surprise me much.

 
this seems like clear speculation to me

also it seems like a way to convince/justify to yourself buying 1Z,  although judging by people who tried both , 1A seem to be by quite a margin the best 'value-for-money' option between these 2

1Z is better sure, but not 200% better 

also did you burn-in your 1A ? apparently it needs 400-500 hours to unfold its potential
