Capacitors at the 160 hour burn in mark. The bass got definitely more present in a very pleasant way. I'm really enjoying the burn in process.

Received back my WM1Z combo Romi/NPAudio mod by Nayparm in the states safe and sound and in aesthetically perfect condition as shipped. Wow Nayparm is a master modder for sure...thanks bro. All the work is listed above within the thread and it sounds phenomenal right now even before more hours. I am totally pleased. More impressions to come after a couple hundred hours. Now to burn in some new caps!

I've just got in from work so lt's lovely to hear that initial feedback especially as this has some new twists to the mod, keeps some reworked Romi components and needed to impress you more than the previous mod. |

Hey guys. Wanted to give some impressions of my WM1Z Romi Audio Blackgate/NPAudio combo mod after 200+ hours for those who are interested. I'd like to thank Nayparm again for the final results of the mod...awesome work man. Also thanks to MrWalkman for the DMP-WM1 FE 3.02 (J) firmware which surely adds to the high end sound of the Sony. I continue to be impressed daily by this DAP. Short story: I initially had my stock WM1Z Blackgate modded by Romi Audio back in July 2020. For those who don't know...it's an expensive mod. When I got it back the sound signature was excellent even after just a hundred hours on those BG caps (they require a lot of burn-in I'm told). Clarity, resolution and soundstage out of the 4.4mm were already there after the Romi mod but unfortunately the battery life took a serious hit. I was getting about 10-12 hours max after a full charge. So although my WM1Z sounded awesome the battery life was quite disappointing. I started following the NPAudio mods and saw guys getting like 40-50+ hours and decided to get Nayparm to mod it to a higher capacity battery. Nayparm also added copper shielding, added twin super caps along with some Audionotes and Kaisei caps. Full 3.5mm cap and coil mod. These were done without altering the Blackgates or their signature as I was already pleased with their sound signature. Romi silver wire remained on the headphone outs while flat occ copper was added to the caps. I now get 40+ hours with a mixture of audio file types and the 3.5mm out nearly matches the 4.4mm out in all areas. All the mod details are posted earlier in this thread with pics. Iโm still burning in this player but I am beyond pleased with the results and for me it was well worth the investment. |

Hey buddy, that's really excellent news, this one was always going to be a tough one, 'modding a mod' that you already liked and improving it.
So nice to hear your really enjoying your superchaged WM1Z (and impressed daily) ๐๐

Every evening, I wait with a certain impatience for the moment when I will be able to release the DAP. And I am always surprised to hear so much immersion in music. I thank your work Nayparm
