You may do a factory reset with the card out. Insert the card after reset. If the card is corrupt, then you may need to reformat the card in the DAP and reload it.

I appear to have found a way without a reset - I took the card out, and then rebuilt the DB for just the internal files which worked, and then loaded the card again and it's now in the process of creating the DB again - currently at about 50% with an almost full 1TB card. Thank you!

As you get close to having a full card this can also trigger odd behavior with the card. Leave some open, unused space on the card.

Today is one of those days when I reach for my NW-WM1A over my NW-WM1Z. The Sony players seem to have problems playing some files (corrupted) that play just fine on Lotoo Paw Gold Touch.

Have you tried replacing the files that you are having issues with? You could have introduced errors when copying them.

I will definitely try that. Thanks

I am curious to try my most 1A. And to see if it can somehow reach the level of my DMP.1z1

After 300 hours burn-in of your expm5 mod my hearing is unable to detect any differences between it and my expm2.5. There may be differences but they are beyond my abillity to detect them

I’ve just bought a brand new iPad Pro M4, can anyone shed any light why I can’t get my WM1A to work as a DAC with it? I’m using the Walkman cable and a USB A to USB C adaptor and the iPad just isn’t detecting the Walkman at all. It’s the same for both my WM1A and A45 and 2 different cable adaptors.

With my old iPad I used the camera connection kit because of lightning and never had a problem

Why didn't Sony include some preset EQ profiles in the NW-WM1AM2?

Even the little NW-A306 has a few preset EQ. This one is fun with my ER4SR and IE600. Sony calls it "Excited". Copied it to my NW-WM1AM2 and it sounds just as good.

Wow that’s some serious V shaped tuning

It is hard to believe that a $249 pair of headphones could sound so damn good from Sony NW-WM1Z!

Thanks. It's not giving me my answer but I may try to find when the MOD was done if the older buyer answer me ...

You might be able to find the mod info on the unit information page accessed through the settings?
