Seems only Sony implement it though, other players aren't capped.



I nearly didn't buy a Sony player because of this.

There are other companies that do the same. I was working on a couple of "DAP" projects in my previous company, and we had to implement the same cap.

Obviously, the small boutique labels can choose to ignore it. But the multinational corporations can't.

If I recall correctly , you can choose LDAC in Bluetooth setting WM1A, but it should be default pairing with LDAC codec. Please have a check[/QUOTE]

My guess was right :L3000::L3000:

Anyone using Mr. Speakers AFC on balanced with the WM1A/Z?
If so, how is the sound? I have been using the Lime Ears Aether CIEM for the last 16 months on balanced with my WM1A and i love the synergy between both, but i´m considering on getting the AFC to use while at home.

Here is a DAC mode tip. I think the Sony Docks are too tall and causes unnecessary strain on headphone cables. I initially just tried to lay down flat but found the volume controls a little hard to use. I then found a gadget I use for my phone and really like the usability with the WM1z positioned right next to my MacBook.

It would be great if someone with access to a metal workshop can replicate the same stand as the Sony's signature series mockup.

Just get the cradle, less hassle and it charges, and you get a SQ improvement. The side Mini-USB is the weakest link; the way it’s shown in the picture. I’m pretty sure the picture predates the cradle.

My 1z reboot three times since upgrade to FW3.0 in a week. Every time has similar pattern, it reboot on the first track of hires FLAC
on internal memory after listened to DSD on external SD card.

I may re-install FW 3.0 next week but not want to do a factory reset as it also reset the counter.

I have both official cradles. Functionality wise it is great but from daily usage point of view it is not that good.

This must be the other cradle? Never seen it before?

I can make such support machined from solid stainless steel 316N, the most non magnetic to not affect the sound signature: the body from metal to assure stability and the cradle from Ertalyte ( thermoplastic polyester) to not scratch the DAP.

That’s one thing reason they didn’t silver plate the 1Z, magnetization.
