I think you should ask in the WM1A/Z thread. I think there are a few ppl that does that.

Thanks, I just posted.

Thanks for posting this update I shared it with other Sony owners on Facebook audio groups. After update I found it has better instrument separation.

Yes, definitely the 1Z became so much better with 2.0

You need a dongle to make your WM1A to become a digital transport over USB. Regular usb-wm cables only allow data transfer and not usbmusic

But I wasn't, I was always focusing on the Sony DAP regarding their overall technical achievements when doing something from scratch.

And as I said, the SQ POV is now rather subjective and not very objective - nearly all TOTL DAPs now have solved FR and harmonic distortion problems, got rid of background noise and hisses and output impedance which are all issues that easily shows up in measurements, so without any more talking points now a lot of the reviews comparing DAPs say such things as "micro detail retrieval" for DAP X is superior than DAP Y or that DAP Y sounds "more airy" than DAP X yet when you look at measurements it shows very little if any difference, so how do we objectively make that comparison and deciding which one is objectively better? I don't believe we can't anymore as the moment sound is interpreted by our brain everything is subjective and the qualities often discussed in reviews are not easily quantifiable, so IMO it's not really something worth discussing when getting to this level of TOTL DAPs as the discussion regarding SQ here at this level is just going to be subjective rather than objective, and people should be mindful of their language - so rather than say "I think DAP X is better than DAP Y" which gives a false impression of "better" like the sun is bigger than the earth, they may have to think about saying "I like DAP X more than DAP Y" instead to really say what they mean - that they subjectively prefer DAP X over DAP Y - like a person preferring pizza over a burger - as neither is the objectively "better" choice.

However when it comes to things like battery efficiency, output power, these are objective facts where direct comparisons can and should be made. Sony is making strides here and catching up on an area where they were traditionally behind, so I don't see how giving them credit where credit is due is me being a sales rap when the numbers shows that they've done what they said they did.

well said!

i have one. it will work with my oppo ha2 se. but will not shake hands with my kse1500.

Where do you guys buy the balanced cable for Sony WM1A? Say, for SE846.
Anyone using the 4.4mm to 3.5mm adapter instead? And how much worse off (discernable?) as compared to native ones?

i got my 4.4 846 cables on amazon. and love the seperation.

Check your USB micro cables. Do not use OTG cables, just use typical standard file transferring as the dongle already act as a OTG
