Due to my new work, I have less time to listen than ever before.  I am seeing even more value out of the 1Z given that I no long have room for a true desktop rig at work....so the W1Z fills that role very nicely.  I hope to listen to the 1A at some point but I do really enjoy my time with the 1Z so far.  Surprisingly, I don't find the 1Z to be very warmth like most people.  In fact, I think its tonality is only a touch warm from neutral or almost neutral.  For instance, I would rate the 1Z to be noticeably less warm than the ZX2 (stock sound) as well as the ZX100.  I used to have two 1Zs and the sound signature is pretty much the same.  The PHA-3 is definitely warmer and darker than the rest.

For me the warmth of 1Z is just perfect. Tonal balance and memory and power is all that I could have hoped for from a DAP but darn it is not cheap. If the UI would be similar to AK purchasing of it would have been on my top of the list but the UI for me is partially a deal breaker.
 
Overall I can't wait to see what they can come up with next. My hope is they aim for 1Z tonality and work from there.

What do you dislike in the UI. Because you know that the last update made it twice as fast ? (1.10)

To be fair, the new Sony Walkman OS does badly need a proper search function. That one is not really excusable.

Speed isnt an issue for me, I prefer a tile view browsing that AK does.

I do agree with the search function, many times tried to search for a song and have to scroll endlessly

I really don't understand how or why they didn't include a proper search function. That drives me absolutely mad.

Like that retro case. May get me one. If I can find it somewhere.

At least you have artist search, genres and so on.
Lotoo Paw Gold has nothing.
I can find quite easily a song on my 128 GB SDXC on Tera Player which doesn't have a screen as we know it.

Must get one, heard about it for some time now but still can't find it in their webstore. There's a new special edition in plain color of this shade of blue though.

You can't buy it.
 
On Twitter Dignis' Japan account they've said it's not for sale and they've made exactly 20 of these cases and is thinking about how to gift them away.
