It seems that the wm port spec does support analog audio. Sony used to sell a wm port to 3.5 cable but no more. Similar cables are available on eBay. Wether they will work with the WM players or only older devices I have no idea

So if I can't have no certainty, security will be to go for an high quality analog audio 3.5 to 3.5 cable...

Can someone confirme this for certain, because it will determine the type of cable I will buy...

While the WM port has pins for analogue line out in the spec and were used in the past, they are not wired in the WM1. So no, the WM1 doesn't support line out via the WM port.

I hear clicks when using volume up or down sometimes... Why

It is only supposed to click at sample changing and nothing with volume control

Yes I don’t get any clicks from the volume control only when the sampke rate clock shifts and as I always play entire albums and don’t shuffle I never get the click

Well, I remember i got clicks with volume change previously but i didn't care much,

When i read your messages, i tried one more time now while in balanced, i can't hear anything while music is playing, but if paused then while adjusting volume, i can hear clicks in certain scenarios, i hear nothing when going volume up, when volume down i start to hear clicks between 84 to 60 now thats with direct mode off .. when i switch direct mode on i hear clicks when going volume down but from 112 to 80, it starts a bit loud and fades by the end of that range then i hear no clicks if i keep lowering volume after that range.

thats on my wm1a, now i don't know if that is normal or not, but may be try to pause music and go from lowest to highest and back in reverse, see if you hear anything.

also i think nothing else had impact like dsd settings or gain, the only impact is with direct sound on and off.

Ok, it's clear.
Thanks to all those who took the time to answer me

1/8'' is the same as 3.5mm for us metric folks, 1/4'' is the same as 6.3mm

It will be awesome that sony improved their firmware a little more, even letting us decide DSP.. and eq options via diferent software i cant tell this enough..or at least give a couple of DSP options.. so this is a step up... (According to the presentation, Sony Vynil-Processors also reproduces those magical tiny surfaces noises (aka scratches) )

It still does it in certain tracks

Try searching the forum... It was commented previously that the clicks do happen when changing volume. Someone even as far as asking Sony, and they replied it is normal.
Mine only clicks at pause from 60-83. During play, there are no clicks.

Awww... sucks

The line out from my older Sony DAPs was never good, found it mute and noisy compared to my Ipod.

The probably best DAP with the classic MDR-EX1000. A lovely combo on the go and everywhere during hot and humid weather.

There are click sound on my WM1Z 4.4 jack (tried with my Justear MH2 & Fitear AIR)
from vol 10-25 and 60-85
also on the 3.5 jack (with my Final audio LAB1 and campfire Andromeda)
from vol 20-90

pulse any music and change the volume, will notice it if listen carefully at quiet place
the click sound is unnoticeable while playing music

guess that is some limitation on the S-master chip

Indeed they are an excellent pairing
