SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2

I plan to check that on my A306 via logcat when I get some time. I doubt it is any different but who knows?

So streaming apps are still using the blue (resampled) auto path. I can get UAPP to work using the red path with high-res driver flags "Direct" and "32-bit", but I did not test extensively. I have already processed an RMA due to the volume cap, so it will be going back in a couple of days. Let me know if I can test anything before I drop it off.

I wonder how WM1Z M2 compares to RS8 ? Would the sony and hiby complement each other or do they sound similar?

The Most High End headphones I have are Hifiman Sundaras, Sennheiser HDx58 Jubilee, Sony MDR-9000st is it even worth getting a WM1AM2 ? Or am I better off getting higher end headphones? I currently have DX240 but would like a warmer sound signature that the Sony Daps have to offer.

Always better headphones/iems will make the greatest impact/improvement for prioritising money, DAP or DAC/AMP 2nd.

just received this Musashino Label case for M2, 8,800 yen at Amazon JP. Looks okay, but nothing special.
