SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

can someone tell me how deep the part is that holds the device?

the iphone is around 8mm thick. so does it have a length of around 1,5cm?

i am asking because i wanted to buy it for the wm1z.
It’s about 2cm deep, so far holding the m2 alright. Only complains are the back angle latch has no locking design, it will dislodge when u move it changing the angle. So I put 2 scotch tape, problems solved. Due to its super light weight, I have to lift the m2 at the same angle as it rest, otherwise the stand will move easily. Other than that, it serve its purpose, have been using about 2 months. One more thing, the holding feet will leave its mark on the case, for this, u might need think of something soft to lay over them. For the price and aluminium quality, superb.

Order placed in FromJapan with a discount of 10% and an additional coupon. I hope that I will not be disappointed

Pray tell, how is the shipment handled by dignis? Are they able to do customs as well? I don’t mind paying customs upfront, but i hate the fees charged by shipping company for this service on such low cost items.

Cheers!
Very quick delivery (less than one week for Europe) but I had to pay 47 euros for taxes (26) and fees (21), Dignis don't deal with customs upfront :frowning2:

Thanks for your reply! That is the reason why I will most probably pass on their cases for the sake of principle; not keen on idea of paying better half of the price of the case on import fees and taxes. Hopefully they will find a reseller here in EU one day.

I doubt they will anytime soon ... They have resellers in Asia and in Australia but that's it.
Look at another Korean company, A&K : they are not interested by the EU zone, very few dealers carrying only a few references.

AM2 arrived 🤗

A size comparison with the Onkyo DP-X1 (right)
The AM2 is only a little bit larger than the Onkyo, and shouldn't be even larger for my taste.
First listening experience (Direct on, DSP off resp.). Yes, the AM2 sounds clearer, a bit more detailed. You can here it, but it may not be such a huge difference for some of us. I used my UE RR IEMs at balanced out.
The Onkyo was 700Euro, the Sony 1.400Euro. And the Onkyo is already quite a good one.

First seen issues compared to the Onkyo
- not all covers are shown (don't know why)
- DSD/dsf multi channel tracks are shown but not played

That's for today.

anyone using USB Audio Player Pro here with their wm1zm2? It was stated in a few posts that it allows for bit perfect playback with tidal albeit with so single mqa unfold
How do you get bit perfect playback with uapp, what are the settings for internal hires?
It’s been forcing me to use the android driver

For bit perfect just go internal hires audio —> bit perfect mode —> turn on.
Uapp only plays through android driver on wm1z
This is what support team tell me “Please note though that the Sony DAP's are problematic with our driver, so things might not function well.”

I just ordered the black Dignis case. Indeed, the Sony case looks rather bulky, though it's at least a flip case. Currently, it looks like there are only two flip cases, Sony's and the Diginis walkman edition. Both not so ideal for my 😉
I find the flap kind of annoying actually on the Sony case. It makes it very awkward to hold. At least with the Dignis Walkman case the flap is removable so...

One more issue I found, when i use folder and select album folder, songs are not in numerical order. It is really annoying to reorder list every time. It only happens with some of my folders. Let me know if there is a fix for this.

For those using Amazon HD, make sure your settings have normalisation turned off! I just realised this was on by default. Sound more dynamic now obviously.

Enjoying the new Muse Album! Bass and clarity with the Z5's is mega! Just need to find where one can download a 24-bit 96KHz version.
