1) male 4.4. TRRS to AES/EBU male --> WM1A female 4.4 TRRS to female AES/EBU (Gustard A20H)

No, AES/EBU is a digital signal while 4.4 TRRS is only analog. However, when the next firmware is releases for WM1a, you can connect it directly to your PC and it will function as a DAC and stay charged at the same time.

Well that’s the Sony we know. Would have been cool if they integrated PS vita download store with this console for newer games.

On topic of having the the WM1A for almost 2 years I just noticed I have about 12 hours
of playback‍♂️
Will be emulation. 20 games installed on a flash rom. Mostly Linux, some crappy shaders for upscaling and a nostalgia infused menu. Nothing else.

Well, here's to hoping with latest update, it would allow us to play PS4 games on 1A/1Z :darthsmile:

I am not technically inclined when comes to all these. :) Thanks. That;s what I am afraid of.

What about this? 4.4 Bal to 4-pin XLR Bal. i can use that to feed input directly to headamp. AFAIK, XLR is analogue

if above still doesn't work, i guess the last option is to use 4.4 out to RCA .

Thanks a lot for your patience. Learning the ropes here.

Cheers

That should work. You’ll be double amping but might not be able to hear any downside

I noticed the adapter you linked to is a female 4pin xlr. Wouldn't you need a male, as I would guess you amp's inputs are female? These adapters you see usually are intended to be used to allow your headphone cables to be used with different output jacks. Sorry if I'm off base from what you're trying to do!

You are right, the amplifier usually and as a standard, always have female input, and is XLR-3 female, and not XLR-4 female. You will need something 4.4mm male to dual XLr-3 Male to connect your WM player as an analog source into your big amplifier .

Something like this. Don’t ask me where I buy it :D because I made it.

You are right. Oversight. Seeing what @Whitigir said, look like I need to custom it. Pity I am not in States. :)

Thanks. Once I make up my mind will let to know how it turns out.

This music is so incredibly relaxing.

Is it electronic like *chill house/chill techno*? I love that genre

Very mellow. I would say it's more an easy listening, instrumental new age type music
