Sometimes when I press the volume up or down on my 1z I hear clicks, but not each time

Hello

I'm disturbed : I need to connect my WM1Z to a heaphone amp (Fostex HPV1, with 3,5mm analog audio input), what do I need :
- a special cable like this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/Line-Out-L...-WM-Prot-To-Headphone-Amplifier-/282640398090https://www.ebay.com/itm/Line-Out-L...-WM-Prot-To-Headphone-Amplifier-/282640398090
- a 3.5 / 3.5 audio cable ?

Thank you for your advice

No line out on the WM1Z. You will need a 1/8" mini (male) to 1/8" mini (male) to your amp. If your amp accepts balanced then you will need TRRRS (Pentaconn) male to dual 3-pin XLRs.

The Fostex manual only says "3.5mm audio input", so I presume I can't use the 4.4 mm balanced output (supposing I would find a 4.4mm to 3.5mm male-male LOD) ?

You will need to use the headphone output in single-end and set the volume to max. mini to mini will do the trick.

Ok, I'll loose the native DSD handling (only on balanced), but win the easier finding of LOD (3.5 to 3.5 seems to be very common)...
Thank you for quick answering

No line out but will work with wm port to 3.5mm like the picture from the link, so no need for 3.5 to 3.5

With the WM port no need to turn the volume as once the wm port is in your Dap volume is disabled, can only turn the volume up or down on the amp

So there are 2 possibilities ?
What would give me the best sound quality : connection with a WM dongle to 3.5 amp input, or headphone 3.5 output to 3.5 amp input ?

WM port for sure

The wm port will only do digital out not analog

If you are sure of this, then it's a no go : the amp needs an analog audio input...

I'm fairly annoyed with myself really, as I was tempted to upgrade my ZX1 to the WM1A in February/March and had a discount code to get one for about £700, but the lack of streaming capability and supposed new Walkman on the horizon stopped me.

According to the presentation, Sony Vynil-Processors also reproduces those magical tiny surfaces noises (aka scratches)
