Just try fill up the card with alot of media files and see if there's any issues with writing or reading.

There are some tools to test https://www.maketecheasier.com/check-sd-card-speed-capacity/

My test of SanDisk Extreme vs Internal Storage on 1ZM2 shocked me about how crappy SanDisk sounded

How did you test? Same audio file copied on both internal storage and microSD? Listening is done with the Walkman App?
And what do you mean by crappy? The difference was so important that you could tell which song is on the microSD in a blind test?

Battery consumption compare between CHN FW (0003, 1.00.09) and JP FW (0000, 1.01.00)

Balanced output, volume 50~55,
Walkman player
Hi-res files : CD quality files =1：5
Hi-gain on, DSEE on, DC on, Vinyl on, EQ off, PCM to DSD off
Airplane mode on, WIFI and Bluetooth off

disabled apps are set according to @Sonywalkmanuser

It looks that the battery consumptions of these two FWs are identical under such load case.

Looking through the thread i had no idea that certain microsd cards make ones music sound even more open ...Help me understand this ....hopefully its not snake oil ..

Finally chance to test both cards with 1AM2.
Both are just as good.
I think is matter of preferences or what mood are you in.
Whitigir describes it best:
Micron = silver
Edge = silver copper
I personally I prefer Edge due to more musical.

Extreme is worse that Extreme Pro...the peaks are just horrible...

You have to have a certain type of (or )

I believe that there could be differences for a very small group of people with extreme hearing. Fortunately I’m not amongst those so inflicted. Ignorance can be bliss sometimes

but once those people fail 50% during an A / B test... it is just their wish and imagination, also called the father of placebo, that gives them a good feeling... this kind of striving for endless optimization.

Not true, A&K SP2000, which is available from now nearly 3 years, had 512 Gb of onboard memory.

And yet they also backed off it with their latest version, the SP2000T ain’t they? Despite it being the biggest SP player.

SP2000T is cheaper than the SP2000 and like 1k USD cheaper than the WM1ZM2; it's not AK flagship which remains the SP2000

I would like to ask you if andromeda (not 2020) will pair well with WM1AM2?. I know a lot of you have probably had WM1A and been in contact with andromeda.

He has an entertaining way to explain EMI, have a laugh:

Or be Data off Star Trek.

I'm not going to say my Micron card is audibly better than my Sandisk's but I'm happy with how music sounds from it

I guess all things like reviews and impressions are snake oil until someone proves it in a controlled double blind ABX test right?
