Out of interest, I have another question for all AM 2 owners who imported their device from Japan. Is it Made in Japan or Made in China?

I have a 1AM2 and a ZX707 from Japan. Both are Made in China

Yes, it is actually clear that both are made in China. I also meant that the 707 is capped in Europe, Singapore and the USA / Canada. Uncapped for example in Vietnam, Japan, Malaysia and others.

The ZX700 Series is not sold in Europe afair.

At least it was not sold in the shops I checked including Germany

To be honest, I didn't know that the 707 was not available in Germany. I would never have the stupid idea of buying a Sony player in Germany or Europe. I think you know why
Luckily I live in Asia and buy my things in Vietnam, Malaysia or Singapore. Cheers

Curious to hear the experience of folks pairing a 1ZM2 with the Utopia 2022. I'm considering get a DAP for portable use in/around the house.

Thanks much in advance

Uncapped flagship golden brick also made in China I believe. I just got mine.

WM1AM2 does not turn off while charging. Even if I turn it off, it turns on again. Is this normal?

 

[LanceSaintPaul]

Completely.

I charge it with a 5v 2A Samsung charger, not from a computer. Can you confirm that it is suitable?
I read many previous pages but could not find this information.

If it charges, it charges

If it charges, it charges

Yes, it is charging. I am afraid that it will damage the battery in the long run. Thanks for the answer.

By the way, the battery drains very quickly when using a wireless connection. The 25% battery lasted for about 1 hour on first use.

My advice is to buy a good charger. I use Anker 20 watts. Then first the charging limit when switching on AM 2. And when it is discharged to 20%, charge it again up to the charging limit. The battery needs a few charging cycles to be calibrated.

@ DefinitioN it seems like you have the player new, if you haven't already, take a look at the Walkmanuser optimization page. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sony-wm1am2-and-wm1zm2-android-walkman-optimization-guide.962975/

Absolutely not. This charger is relatively weak, so you're rather doing the opposite.

If you enable the Battery Safer thing in the settings that blocks the Walkman from charging above ~87%, you can also leave it plugged in if you want.

The battery usage depends on a lot of factors.

If you enabled Hi-Res Audio Streaming or any digital effects like DSD Remastering, DSEE and so on, you drastically decrease the battery life. If you use another app than the Walkman App, you will also decrease the battery life a lot. If you use Wireless, the battery usage is highger, but not that much.

So it depends more on the settings than on Wirelss. The WiFi Chips plays a role, but its not drastic
