Haha! It’s just an aggregation over the years. I have had FitEars ever since they first started in Singapore with the C435.

Oh yes… How is the ES-R10 coming along? Is it a strictly desktop headphone or does it have good synergy with portables as well? I suspect it is something I will consider in due course.

Extremely good synergy with the 3Max and now the gold brick~ hearing is believing! Haha.. we could have a small NDP-jam maybe.

Hahah! OK. Noted with thanks. Then the Luxury & Precision DAPs and other DAPs should drive it nicely. Will bookmark the ES-R10.

I am also having the missing artwork issue like others.

i think m1 and m2 are the same: picture name = folder name - and it should work.

Do you need a sandisk extreme pro SD card or just an normal SD card will be good enough. Just to keep offline Tidal hi res file.

And name brand SD card will be fine. I use SanDisk Ultra.

Can Tidal work with both the local memory stored and the SD card stored files? I thought there was a limitation with one of those streaming apps... it works only with local memory stored offline files...??

I also use spotify and kkbox both allow to store on sd card.

E-earphone in Japan has stock of NW-WM1AM2 in addition to the NW-WM1ZM2 which has been in stock recently!

Not sure which music app you had that experience but no issues with SD cards thus far.

Hello all!

Happy to be joining the Head-fi forums for the first time.

I was hoping for some advice / help with regards to the Sony nw-wm1zm2.

Has anyone had experience purchasing a unit off ebay? Also, do the versions sold in Canada have the volume cap?

Thank you!

hi @HearGear

so you start the never ending journey in this crazy sony signature corner... welcome to the forum

the canada version shouldn't have a volume cap. but if the seller is from ebay, so i private seller probably, kindly ask him or her about the region code. because it can also be that a private seller from canada sell his wm1zm2 originally bought in europe.

This is not a review but first impressions and setup experience. Was a pretty good experience to get it up and running, music transferred not problem with Mac and android transfer. All album artwork intact which was a relief! Apple Music streaming no problems as well. Having come from a previous Sony non android DAP, the integration within android os seems a bit clunky and weird. Maybe i will just get used to it, but at the moment it seems like two devices meshed together, the android presence is always there which I am not sure how I feel about it. It all works pretty well tho. This is probably not a portable device anymore, not that I bought it to be but it is a big unit especially with the case on it. Sound wise, still early days and my comparison was a Sony PHA-3 so not a wide range to draw from. I loved the PHA-3, the M2 seems to have better detail retrieval but maybe not quite the wide staging of the PHA-3. I expect this to improve with time tho. Pretty happy so far. Sorry for the dust in the photo, I’ll talk to wife about it…..

Slowly revisiting my collection again (mostly on Apple Music now), and constantly getting blown away by the WM1ZM2. There's so much detail and dynamics that I've started to listen at lower volume to enjoy the details hidden in the background that I've missed in the past (and saving my ears!).

And that soundstage height! I've not experienced this before... really making me rediscover my old favourites. But this I'm not too sure if it's more to go with the walkman or the Sho. Will investigate further when I'm done burning them in.

I've sold my 3Max with zero regrets, am now 200g lighter and it still drives all my headphones. Am more or less done burning in 4.4mm and am now doing 3.5mm while waiting for my balanced cables for the Sho to arrive. Might need to start getting 3.5mm cables cos Sony has done some magic there I think. Shall continue burn in and enjoying it.

My first Sony Walkman after 43 years plus my first Acoustune IEMs, both offering so much customisation to my music.. gonna be fun discovering my favourite combos for different albums~
