Thanks for the impressions!
I do wonder about adding the Tsuranagi to my WM1ZM2. I am also not much of an amp user but hey, these are all interesting sub-hobbies to explore.
Earlier this year, I enjoyed the Mass Kobo with the WM1ZM2.

I tested this chain for a while and I realized the while the external amp enhances the blackness of background, resolution, and bass impact on the Sony (it is not nearly as powerful as your iBasso 32MAX after all); it detracted marginally from the timbral cohesiveness of the standalone DAP.
Would love to hear opinions on how the Tsuranagi is working out though for WM1ZM2 users.
This photo from the @MusicTeck site is droolworthy, lol.
