High quality audio: the weakest link
AsEngadgetrightly points out, the spec here is impressive but you can ruin it with a single low quality component or source: the best quality you can get fromAppleMusic is currently 24-bit/192KHz, so to make the most of these you’ll need not just audiophile-grade headphones but also a better quality music provider such as TIDAL, whose Master Quality Audio delivers up to 24-bit/352KHz. Or better still, use the included 256GB of storage for a library of hi-res audio tracks from other sources.
You can find out more about the Sony NW-WM1ZM2 on the Sonywebsite, but if the price is just a little bit too much Sony has a slightly less expensive version that seems to retain most of the audiophile features, albeit without the gold finish. The NW-WM1AM2 is a more affordable$1,399and has the same S-Master HX amplifier and oxygen-free copper cabling.
