does that work on the new 1Z? I tried that with the apple dongle with usb c and it said the DAP consumed too much power hence accessory not supported

It has long passed warranty period. And it was a Japan import.
To save you some trouble, factory reset won't help at all.
It could be a software related issue because the flickering in some apps are worse than the others.
Is the volume limited and can it be turned off on the NWWM1AM2 ?
Anyone working on alternative software for this model ?
I'm a bit afraid that it will be too quiet in combination with the hd600 and in the future I plan to buy some better in-ear headphones can you recommend me some headphones for this player, I listen to all kinds of music with an emphasis on the 80s

When putting music on your player do you use Music Center for PC or is there an easier way.? Seems like Music Center likes to crash a lot lately. I’m using Windows 11.
thanks for that. i can't reproduce the flickering issue consistently so i do wonder if this is software related.
also of note is the "clicking" noise i'm starting to get from the player now. The type of sound you hear when a hard disk is clicking.
i'm puzzled by this one since there is no disk drive/mechanical sounding parts in the player (at least to my knowledge)
Same issue on mine - saw the same in a demo unit at a Sony shop. Had my screen replaced - have not seen it since.
There are, the relays, and they are supposed to click. If they stop, they are broken^^
But they are only used on the 4.4mm port, so when you use the 3.5mm, you should not hear any clicking

I don't know how to ask for Sony support here in Portugal, but now I am attempting to contact them. It's been a while since I noticed these issues, and I think it's getting worse.
Clicking sounds are normal. There are relays that control the output to 3.5/4.4. Also when switching clock rates (I think).
Volume limit for the WM1A/Zm2 is on the EU models only. It cannot be defeated so far, and there is nobody working on alternative FW as the source code is not available.
For the non-android Walkmans (WM1A/Z, ZX300, A55/45) the volume cap can be turned off by setting the Region Code to a non-EU region, using Rockbox, and MrWalkman alternate FW is available that provide feature and SQ improvements.

There is no way around the volume cap. If you don't want to import from Japan, you should reconsider an different DAP altogether. Nobody recommends buying the capped version, you will not be happy.
And this is absolutely not meant offensive, this is an honest recommendation.

I personally always remove the SD card and add files on my PC or Mac. It much faster. Just make sure you put them in the "music" folder for Sony DAPs.
I just plug the Walkman via USB, it gets detected as an mass storage device and i just copy the files to the music folder.
But 99% of the time i just download the music directly with the app straight to the Walkman

I have a question, how does the A45 model with fw from MrWalkmen compare to the Sony NWWM1AM2, the difference is big in sound quality or barely noticeable?
