Listened to the M9 again today. With the WM1Z on direct sound, the M9 sounds very pleasant. With the Andro on direct sound, it can be too warm, partly due to the low output impedance of the WM1Z and the Andro's warm signature. Therefore, in most circumstances, I would normally need to tweak the equalizer to compensate.
The M9 does sound like the Andro on a high output impedance (~3 ohms) on the mid and high range. But it has a much stronger bass and slam presence, with a slightly recessed mid and slightly stronger high. That's how I would characterise the M9 on a WM1Z.
I feel for WM1Z users, the M9 would play out better than the Andro. I can't say for WM1A users, as I didn't try that comparison.
The m9 sound perfect to me. The andro lacked bass quality/texture for me. And I'm hearing the m9s bass is closer to dd that gets me super excited
