Guys, need info on EU volume cap on WM1A, i bought WM1A from Sony Malaysia to avoid volume cap issue(There was no volume cap). Today i have updated Firmware 2.0 from sony.co.uk site. AVLS checkbox in output settings is still unchecked after Soft 2.0 Update so max volume is still 120. I am not sure if EU volume cap is a hardware or software based on country of progin ? Any thoughts...

Thanks

Volume cap is a bios thing, not hardware, but is is not affected by fw upgraded.

It's a software cap. If you can turn on high gain, then there's no volume cap.

I have a Sandisk Ultra 200gb micro SDXC and wow this thing is junk. Every day I hear distortions at least once, the data does not transfer out of it correctly for playback.

Yours has issues so it's junk ?
Please, if you have issues, get it replaced while it is under warranty.
Many people here use Sandisk cards without any issue, so no, it is not junk.

And please also consider the possibility that the issue can sometimes come from the DAP.
I had an extremely bad time while demo-ing a WM-1A at a shop in Paris: it wouldn't correctly read any of my 200Gb cards (I had 3 of them), while they could be read on any other DAP they had (Cowon, Cayin, Lotoo and smartphones). So yes, s**t can happen.

I have a 400 gigabyte card and I love it. Did you format it in the actual digital audio player? If it isn't formatted properly, it'll work like crap. Mine works without any issues, because I always format it in the player. If you did yours in the player and it's still not working, then it is defective and I would replace it.

It's definitely a card most people won't buy because of the brand, many will still wait for Sandisk, Kingston, Toshiba or other well-known brands.

I’m not sure what you mean by “nadie ce holographic feeling“.
