Everything's a ticking time bomb. Including you. Relax, avoid doing stupid things as best you can, enjoy, keel over one day.

The latest is that after upper management looked at it, Sony is going to ship me a new unit. SO thats great...



I am very concerned about the likelihood that my new WM1A is also bricked in the same way and will, at that point, be well outside of warrantee.

What does "Use the microSD card only with the PC" mean - Sony recommends formatting in the WM1a - are you saying to power down, put card into PC, copy files, replace card back into WM1a and power on each time? This ticking time bomb has me wondering it I should just sell it when it comes, brand new in the box instead of Russian roulette.

No need to power down your wm1a when taking out the card, you just need to unmount the card from the menu before getting it out. I sometimes forgot to unmout it removing the card, no problem so far but the tendency of corrupting the card is there so avoid it.

I've got a couple of them. Great to keep one with your dap in case you need a little charge time and don't happen to have your main cable with you (there's nearly ALWAYS a micro usb around!). Also works well with the ZX300 when using it as a dac.

I remember that way more fondly than the ZX1 I used it with.

So in theory it would work while trying to get UBS digital audio out to a DAC? Has anyone tried that scenario?

Never tried it that way round. I think I read that someone in the ZX300 forum tried and said no. I'm not sure if someone else can chime in, otherwise I can try later when I'm home.
May need something like the FiiO L27 cable:

I have a fiio L27 cable but sadly its a no go with Micro BL. This would work well if it is compatible. Please do try it at home when you have the time.

this is what I use to allow my WM1A to act as a digital transport to another DAC (without needing the cradle).

I got a chance to listen to the Sony NW-NW1Z today. my Sony NW-WM1A does hold its own, and the differences are smaller than I thought, so I will probably try to find the gold one used.

I wouldn’t pay no more than $1000 for a used gold brick knowing it may become paper weight within a few years or less.

I would definitely have to be careful, and find somebody who took care of their player as well as I take care of all of mine.

Thanks. I know this works .. i am wondering if that small adapter works?
