That's why I kept my favorite MD Player / Recorder ;)

Recommend a WM-Port LOD line out instead into the KSE1500?


The signal from the line out is so weak that many amps can't use it to get good volume

That is because Sony never made that line out an official accessory. You can only use Fiio accessory, and it wasn't made for Walkman, unless we have some electrical engineer to start doing it....which may not make any senses from cost to development to productions. The proof is already in the Walkman official digital out cables as it has hardware and chip processing inside it, which is proven to be a superior digital transportation when this cables is used vs other cheaper cables. Check this out for more details. I am sure Sony can make it, but they do not want to :D, because if you need an amp, they do have PHA-3

Wow, really? I built my own WM LOD and used it on the ZX1 and various must say I didn't notice (mind you mostly with the TUR-06) :-

Actually, that's not entirely true. Maybe it's not marketed overseas then but one can buy the WMC-NWR1 quite easily in Japan at least :-

I love that built, and furutech plug

. That was awesome

 
I used solid core Oyaide Augline PTFE and it was a PITA to solder. It's stiff and broke on me a few times (and the Augline isn't cheap).
