With 40hrs battery life. Your player probably had less battery cycle and last longer before you run into battery problems in long run. No DAP can beat its battery life.

The price went up quite a bit.

A bit mixed feelings on the 2000MX chamber changing feature. It's like an extra failure point. What if moisture gets into the connection point? What if the contact point oxidise?

Heard some news says WM1A production is going to be discontinued. Get one fast if anyone intending to.
