Now that I think about it, if I get a balanced cable with a 4.4mm jack such as this one, then I wouldn't be able to access the balanced end of my DAP with any other headphones that I might get. However, if I get a balanced IEM cable with a 3.5mm jack and a 3.5mm female to 4.4mm male adaptor, then I could use it with other headphones. Is that correct?

There is no 3,5mm standart balanced cables. Most versatile set - balanced 2,5mm or 4,4mm with adapter to 3,5mm SE.

Which other dap do you have?

I meant my NW-WM1A...

Oh!

Forgive my ignorance...

Then, it's going to be balanced cable with a 4.4mm jack and a 3.5mm adaptor...

If I get another headphone, then I would have to get a new cable for it, too, or get it re-cabled. It's frustrating.

Don't worry it's just part of the learning curve!

Yes, if you have the WM1A that to squeeze the best from it and you don't have any other cable with a balance plug then you should buy a new cable with a 4.4mm plug.

Which earphones or headphones do you have?

I have Earsonics SM3 and Sennheiser Urbanite XL.

Is it possible to do this: My IEM that has a 3.5 mm jack > connected to a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adaptor > connected to 2.5 to 4.4 mm balanced adaptor > connected to NW-WM1A ?

You can't go from SE to Balanced, only Balanced to Balanced or Balanced to SE. Only ways you can go are 2.5mm to 4.4mm or 2.5mm to 3.5mm.

Absolutely no, you risk do damage the dap.

If you have earphones with a 3.5mm plug use them only with the 3.5mm connector.

OK!

Thanks!

 

[Matrix Petka]

OK!

Thanks!

It is wise to double check
But there is no other way - balanced cable adapter to single ended. NEVER - single ended cable to balanced.

Why would you all be so much against “an excuse to upgrade” to newer DAP ? Just kidding. The new forum Search function is a disaster. People can not search by using pictures, or key words within a thread anymore. This results in people keep on posting the same info over and over and being asked over and over....

I saw the info for DSD tracks and again it has the disc 1/- and track 4/- seems like flac fields TRACKTOTAL and DISCTOTAL don't apply in ID3 tags, can some one with either mp3 or DSD files hand me out these two fields equivalent of flac tags

BUMP

I believe you're overthinking this. If you get a 44mm balanced cable terminated with 2 pin connections for your SM3 then just remove the existing cable (should just pull out) and replace with the new cable when you want to use the WM1A. When you want to use it with your laptop (3.5mm socket) just reverse the process. Changing the cables to the appropriate one for your device is a lot simpler than getting confused with adapters and the like.

Giles

Anyone know what's the shortcut for setting the 1A into sleep mode?

Just pause it and press the power button once to turn off display, it will go alone to sleep mode (I hear a relay click when not used for 30s)

Thank you very much.

Found it out digh, Diffent tags, different standards

FLAC separate tags for disc and track total count
DSD uses ID3 like mp3 so you have to write DISCNUMBER: as Current disc/Total discs same for TRACK: current/ total in the same field separated by the slash "/"
