Wow that new iPad Pro looks great. Good thing that I ended up not getting one a while back when I was thinking about it, since I heard the rumors about the new one coming out. Ha ha, just need to finish paying first for the shiny Ti implant, lol. I was laughing other day as many fancy aftermarket bike parts are made out of Ti and ceramics, keeping up with the trend, I guess. [emoji12]

The TA-ZH1ES is here and you were not kidding that it is heavy. Very good sounding with the HD800s. Lover the soundstage. I have not listened to other headphones yet, but the match with the Senns is very good. It is great that comes with the cable for the WM-port. Thanks for the feedback purk!

Thanks purk! The price actually would be appealing in this case, so that is one consideration. Guessing it would be significantly lower than some of the other options you mention. I will mull this over and see how it goes. From the pictures it seems super compact and the functional layout of the buttons and display very well placed. Thanks again. : - )

What a cutie! congrats

Hey purk, you have the TA-ZH1ES? Used with DSD, what is your take on it? My use would be probably using the 1A or PC as transport, balanced headphones output. The either the balanced singlepower square wave or the grace m920 that I have been using together is/are loosing a channel(need to troubleshoot, but I do not have another balanced amp to test), so I am looking for an option. I listen almost exclusively to dsd, so it seems that the ZH1ES is a great package, but I am not sure if this amp would be up to par?

Just the fact that the 1A can very capably power the HD800s (high gain, balanced output) is awesome, having said that, compared to the Q5/AM3B, balanced out, using 1A as transport via USB, more attack is evident as is more definition of high frequencies, separation and decay are better.

Yes, High gain, balanced output. I had the cable around already since I’ve also been using the senns on the Fiio Q5 module that uses the same type of balanced jack as that of the A1 Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

So got a chance to do the formatting and intro to the 1A yesterday. Thanks guys it worked as a charm. The player created the Music folder and then I just transferred the dsd files back on the pc. I did try it with the Senn and after finding the High Gain setting, indeed the player is fully competent on these cans. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Will do, thanks again! I won’t have time until the weekend to work on this, but I will report back! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks Peter, I’ll give that a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have a few microSD cards with DSD files that work fine in the Chord Mojo, Fiio M7 and a Cayin player. But when I put them in the 1A, it goes through building a database routine, but then does not recognize anything in the card. If I plug the card back into any of the other listed above, the music shows up as usual. Is the Sony player different in terms of formatting? Suggestions appreciated!

What’s surprising is the length of time that a direct link to HC has been up. Now of course the clock is ticking and will be gone in a few... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Did you purchased it from Mehran? Great guy, I got my cartridge and zero dusts from him like 12 years ago and still going strong.
