If you have media go installed it will take less than 2 minutes to update.

You can also update it through media go. I did that.

Is anyone using the Dita truth cable with the Encores? I am interested in that because of the modularity aspect of it.

It is a proposed standard, it depends on the industry to accept. I don't really see a reason for other manufacturers to adopt this new 'standard' as they already have products out with different 'standards'.

For some reason when I click on the update link, it shows up as file not found.   Edit - got the update it took about 10 minutes for the download to show up.

From my observation if your music is already organized there is no advantage unless you like to use SensMe channels option on the player.

No, there is no search function sadly...

What I noticed was media go messes up my folders, it rearranges the folder by artist, it becomes a problem for where I saved the folder by album name since it has various artists.

Did you transfer through media* go?

I currently have both AK70 and WM1A and I prefer the WM1A over it. I was really happy with the size of AK70 but it sounded lifeless to me and the 3.5mm headphone jack of AK70 stopped working a couple of weeks back, I expected a better build at that price. I feel like the Sony is much better...

Yes I know there are price differences, but that is all I have heard so I can compare only to those. AK70 sound to me lacks body while WM1A is warmer comparatively. WM1A to my ears has more clarity and brings out the subtleties in the music better. Battery wise WM1A beats AK70 by a significant...

Battery lasts about 20-24 hours for me depending on the volume and how many times I turn the screen on. The sound is a noticeable upgrade over my previous Fiio X5 and AK70, they are the only players I have ever owned. I don't mind the slightly slower UI but the only thing that I could wish for...

Finally got my Kaiser Encores coming in, can't wait to try them with balanced out on WM1A!!
