Actually, both have the same size, the one that WM1 players also have.
Surely the WM1 players have a larger partition as they can handle many more tracks

The a35 is killer with the non-plus zx300 port. Honestly, my a105 seems to sound a bit better after the last update but still isn't match for the a35.I did an a and b comparison between the sound on the Sony A55 with the DMP-Z1 mod and the Sony A35 with the ZX300 mod and to my ears with the Beyerdynamics T5P the Sony A35 with the ZX300 mod sounds a bit more clear with slightly better dynamics and bass than the Sony A55 with the DMP-Z1 mod with exactly the same sound settings.
I did the SonyDestTool install selecting J Region before applyinig the DMP mod on my Sony A55 but the volume was still quieter than my A35 at the same volume. I then installed the DMP mod then I did the SonyDestTool install again this time E2 Region.
Nope, they have the same size. I have no idea, but if you are 100% sure that A55 can't handle more than 38k tracks, it could be something firmware related.
45.000 tracks on my 1TB card
Don't know about A55 as I never had one but the A45 could not handle more than about 38.000 tracks out of over 45.000 tracks on my 1TB card but my 1Z had no problem handling them all. Another member in the main 1A/1Z thread said that they bottled out around 85.000 tracks and somebody else mentioned that thus was because the database partition was larger on the WM1 players
I'm not sure anyone knew about the database partition size before all this
I can confirm it's the same size for all players.
I can only get about 23,000 tracks on my 1TB card. A lot of them are high res though.

I can't wait for the dmp version but I have a suspicion that I'll probably revert back to zx300.
Apparently an engineer named 'Sato-san' - there are two Satos in Sony, modded an A30 device many years ago to maximise its potential. Generally, it may be that A55 needs the zx300 sound tuning rather than the much-distanced high end Z1 to perform better, even if Z1 tuning is the best.To be honest I didn’t really like the sound on the A35 before I installed the zx300 mod. My older Sony DAPs sounded a lot better but then I installed the zx300 mod and that’s when the sound quality got much better. The sound quality on the DMP modded A55 is really good but I feel that the sound on the zx300 modded A35 is a little bit better.
Best wishes and enjoyWell with my 1Z sick and the great fw mods for the lower tier players I picked up a second hand A55 with some cosmetic damage for £90 shipped to Denmark so I can give the new DMP based fw a try
