A mischievous heart appears, and #WM1AM2 and #FiiO BTR5 are connected by LDAC. There is. The dimension of sound output is completely different from that of smartphones. I thought the BTR5 was a very good Bluetooth receiver, but the combination with the WM1AM2 ensures invincible Bluetooth sound quality. This fineness of texture cannot be obtained from a smartphone.

I really don't understand why you continue to blame Sony

Sony is just following a mandatory EU regulation
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32009D0490&qid=1649171548709&from=EN
The law has been voted by the representative of the 27 countries, including yours.

Here is some background on why they did it :

I am blaming Sony because is the only brand that fallows that stupid and descrimatory rule, there are other ways to prevent and to take care of EU people's ears, an on and off EU limiting for example, I think that would be a solution,them who bought a 3700 euros device could choose, why others don't cap theyr devices? Because Sony sales are higher? In Europe? With a 3700 euros dap capped to 1mw?i dont believe that, do you? So I blame Sony because Sony sales a extremely expensive device that capped is crap, I had I capped 1z and them appeared the chance to uncapp it and the dynamic the transparency is very diferent, is not just more power, is not fair, at this price is not admissible

Sony is required by law to cap its music players. Manufacturers that don't do the same are breaking the law, plain and simple. Also, it's a global market, no one is forcing you buy from the EU. When you're spending this much on a DAP, spending a bit extra to import it should be easy. In fact, you'll probably get it in cheaper from overseas.

 

[denis1976]

Yes yes, other brands are all stuck in jail, with millionaire fines, let's get real if Europe was the prime market to Sony, Sony would be craping to EU rules but it isn't

Sony has presence in europe, others don't is what I'm assuming

With this you assume that because I am living in EU for me to fully enjoy the 1z or 1a I have to pay more than a Japonese or Chinese or Sovietic or American etc.... OK that's a very singular way of equal rights....

It is very tiresome with you continuing to blame Sony for not breaking the law. I assume you then mean that anybody can and should break any law they don’t agree with ?

Probably because no other manufacturer cripples the DAP's the way Sony does. Its a nonsense without knowing what head/earphones you are driving. It was originally for players shipped with earphones. You even loose the high gain feature.

You can get it over £100 cheaper by importing via Amazon Japan but it will cause issues if you need to use warranty as its not a worldwide warranty so you have to ship back to Japan at own cost etc. and possibly cover their shipping too.

Yes it’s a silly and stupid regulation for a stand alone device and as you say the original regulation was based on a device with it’s included headphone and in that case it at least made some kind of technical sense

Sorry if I tire you, it was not my intention, but is to bad to be real

 

[denis1976]

Yes you're right, wait until they do the same with tabaco

 

[nc8000]

Denmark is contemplating doing the same as (I think) New Zeeland and banning sale of tobacco to anybody born after 2010

Greetings Butties

I was wondering if any kind soul can make a comment on

Whether buying one from the Amazon.jp Sony Store

or

Whether buying one from the Sony Singapore Store

Which Model is the More Superior One Hardware Wise ?

Should I buy one from Amazon.jp Sony Store

or

Should I buy one from Sony Singapore Store

Are there any hardware differences between these two sites for buying this Sony DAP ?

And can some kind soul please kindly provide the URL Link to the Amazon.jp site for both these Sony DAP's

Thank you very much for your time, help and patience

Kind Regards as Always Sir
