Ears will be pregnant II: The first sun in the history of the most expensive brick WALKMAN, Sony flagship NW-WM1Z out of the box

It is interesting to review the development of audio players. First of all, the storage media from the earlier tape, CD, MD to flash memory, then the source quality from the early days of the network crazy pursuit of compression ratio, to the current pursuit of lossless, DSD and other master quality, Japan audio The Development Association is even better known as "Hi-Res," which represents that the quality of the sound source exceeds the triple quality of traditional CD recordings.

With the continuous advancement of smart phones, the original independent music player, camera shooting, PDA and so on are all integrated, so the pure audio player has also experienced an underestimation period, once felt that it may eventually be eliminated by the mobile phone. However, when the high degree of integration of mobile phones is unable to bring the same functionality to the extreme, the positioning of audio players has gradually changed, and a group of high-altitude pure-tone players are emerging. Sony, as a spokesperson for WALKMAN, took the initiative to introduce a new generation of flagship NW-WM1Z.

The machine started on the day of the launch, and the package still uses a simple design.

The NW-WM1Z, commonly known as the "BRIC," uses a 256G capacity, which is twice as large as the NW-WM1A introduced at the same time. At the same time, the price is more than double the price. Dafa really wit

After opening the box, first see this little black box.

After opening, the BRICs are revealed.

On the left side of the storage box, you can find a complimentary leather case. This is a black brick WM1A not sent, once again feel that Dafa is really generous to the brick

An extra lanyard and a charging cable were also sent.

Place the bottom of the machine and find the instructions and warranty card.

This blue description opens, and the illustration is simple enough to not see the text.

The cling film was opened and the machine came out.

There are two headphone ports on the top, and the left is the balanced line of the latest standard 4.4mm aperture, which requires an additional upgrade line to work.

A row of buttons on the side can seem to understand.

The other side is the HOLD key.

The machine model NW-WM1Z is imprinted on the bottom, followed by the lanyard mouth, charging port, and TF memory card slot.

The back is long and the touch point of NFC is here.

Well, after watching the appearance to boot.

The newly designed interface is even more minimalistic.

The version of the machine system is 1.0, which is much smoother than the 0.9 version of the previous audition.

Play the interface, you can choose analog level display.

This mode is very sensational, and it is highly recommended to try it very nostalgic. Dafa has also played a handful of cards.

Take out the ZX100 to compare and see, let everyone have a reference to the volume.

Can be seen on the side of a gold brick, a silver block? Gold and silver still look quite interesting

This storage bag was originally put ZX100, inside the use of velvet can be very good protection of the fuselage, did not see the ZX100 with a half a year passed the machine is still so new

Suddenly, he took the initiative and put the golden bricks in it. He found that he could stuff it.

It's a bit of a drum but it can be used. The size of the BRIC is probably like this, so if you don't like to use a holster, you can also solve the belt to go out.

Because often play plug, and is the inner ear, see things that are not clean must first disinfect and wipe, often go to the river or pay attention to personal hygiene

When the BRICs were switched on for the first time, Dafa first suggested that it would take more than 200 hours to use the tantalum capacitors in order to bring the quality of the machines into full play. At first, I didn't care. When I first started listening, I felt like I was talking about the sound of the ZX100 next to it. I almost threw it out. But after gradually listening for 10 hours later, I noticed that the voice began to change, and the sound field was sensed. Low-frequency submarine and powerful, three-frequency resolving power began to penetrate, the sound can be basically seconds ZX100 ears distance. Therefore, the BRIC boot must be a good sound.

Popular Science Time:

What is impedance? Understandable heroes can skip.

First of all, for example, the SONY XBA-Z5 impedance is 32Ω, which is high impedance; while the ELECOM SH1000 impedance is 13Ω, it looks quite a big difference, so the corresponding is a low impedance. But what is the difference in impedance? From the thrust of the front end of the cooperation, another example, the ZX100 thrust is 15mW+15mW; the WM1Z thrust is a single port of 60mW+60mW, and the balance port is 250mW+250mW (so the apparent thrust of the WM1Z is much larger than that of the ZX100, if it is used Balancing thrust will also increase significantly, eventually affecting the performance of the sound quality.)

A simple understanding of the higher thrust can drive high-impedance plugs to produce good sound. If the front-end thrust is small, it is recommended to use low-resistance and high-sensitivity plugs. For example, the well-known AKG K3003 is a typical low-resistance high-sensitivity, and the reason for easy recognition is that many people actually have front-ends. The thrust is very poor, amps are not available, or even just listening to music with a mobile phone, the lack of thrust, forcing the high impedance and low sensitivity of the earplugs will result in a kind of voice stuffy feeling in the inside cannot push.

Therefore, to play the best of the front end or the stopper, it is very important to match each other. It deserves the best

If the SONY XBA-Z5 is only connected to the front end of the ZX100 is a bad voice, before the amp must be put on it, try this combination and BRIC to be an AB contrast, you can clearly feel the impedance is more difficult to push the XBA- Z5, the sound launched on the BRICS is much better than the ZX100. The most obvious difference is that if the thrust of the moving iron unit is insufficient, the sound is easy to feel bored. Now the front end is replaced by the WM1Z, and the tri-band separation is stronger. Will not be pasted together.

Then try to connect the low impedance ELECOM SH1000, first briefly introduce the characteristics of this plug, double acting circle, the overall bias in the upper plate, surprising high frequency performance masks the fact that low frequency diving is not bad, itself does not eat the front end. The thrust of the bricks is enough to bring the quality of the stopper into full play. In particular, the illusion of the sound field looks like listening to the box.

Here are two obvious differences in the sound perception of the BRIC WM1Z and the black brick WM1A:

In contrast, the sound field 1A always felt a bad breath and could not find the magnificent sound field feeling of 1Z;

The other is the 1Z sound more warm and full of charm

, so with the appropriate earplugs, the difference in performance can be felt.

Since the machine has not yet fully opened and the 4.4 balanced upgrade line has not yet arrived, I believe that only in place can we really play the qualities that BRIC should have. Therefore, we no longer comment on the sound. The above Uses a simple rough review of the 3.5mm interface. As a series of articles, after the machine really opened the wire in place, it was time to seriously evaluate the sound quality.

The code word is not easy. I hope that you will give support and rewards to your friends, and see you next time.
