How did the sound evolve?
First, compare the basic model "WM1A" and the new model "WM1AM2" using a balance connection headphone.The song is "Joe Stilgoe/Almost Like Being in Love (Live)"
ベーシックなモデルである「WM1A」と、その新モデルである「WM1AM2」を比較As mentioned above, the S-Master HX, which integrates DAC and digital amplifiers, is followed, so there is no difference between new and old in driving force.However, the sound that comes out has evolved significantly.
First of all, the feeling of SN is getting better, and the laughter of the audience in the concert hall before the music begins, the sound of hitting hands, and the size of the space that resonates, etc.I can get it.It can be seen that the amount of information has increased and it has become easier to hear the increased information, even though it is really "sound".
When the music starts, you can hear the evolution of WM1AM2 for the realism of the human voice, the undulating acoustic bass resolution, and the sharpness of the drums.Because the amount of information is increasing, even if the volume is raised, it does not feel "noisy" at all.Even if you reach the volume that makes you feel that the sound has become a little loud in the old model, WM1AM2 has a delicate depiction.
Details are listed in news articles, but detailed sound quality improvements have accumulated and have become a major evolution.Therefore, the moment you switch to WM1AM2 after listening to WM1A, there is a difference in the level where you can immediately feel that the sound has improved.
WM1AM2を聴いたあとで、その上位モデルである「NW-WM1ZM2」も聴くIf you realize the sound quality of WM1AM2, and then replace it with the top model, NW-WM1ZM2, the world will change completely.The quiet hall air before the music begins increases transparency and becomes more realistic.
The space where applause and laughter spread become vast enough to be clearly understood.Even after the music starts, the space where the lingering sounds spreads is depicted farther, so it feels like using an open headphone even though you are listening with a closed headphone.This is a difficult experience.
Perhaps because the purity of the sound has increased, the texture of each sound is transmitted more.As a result, things like the "sexuality" felt from the sound become darker.It's close to the feeling of listening to a pure audio high -end model.It is a sound that "falls in love" when you listen to it, such as strong bass, beautiful treble, and high treble.
既存のハイエンドモデルである「NW-WM1Z」In a sense, the sound of the high -end model of about 400,000 yen is attractive in a sense.
On the other hand, the existing high-end model "NW-WM1Z" (actual sold about 330,000 yen), and the new model's basic model "NW-WM1AM2" (about 160,000 yen).Which is the higher sound quality.
This listening is really interesting.The SN feeling is thin, and there is a part that the new model, WM1AM2, is higher in terms of information.On the other hand, the feeling of air and elegance in the high frequency range is one of the best high -end WM1Z.However, the ability of the two is quite close, and some people prefer WM1AM2, depending on the listener.With that in mind, WM1AM2 seems to be a very cost -effective model.
In addition, detailed reviews such as sound quality comparison in music distribution will be delivered at a later date.
