That line out will not work with any walkman with a USB digital out feature.

Actually it only applies to ZX300, 1A & 1Z
F (HiRes) series, A (HiRes) series and ZX1,ZX2, ZX100 can do both

Just Purchased a WM1A and an ALO Reference 8 IEM cable for my Shure 846's. I'm looking forward to some quality time with it. I'll be using Shure 846's, Focal Elears, and Audeze iSine20's. I've been researching DAPS's for a few weeks now. I narrowed it down to this, AK SP1000m, AKSE1000, and DX200.
I'm super stoked! The last thing I purchased from Sony was back in the 90's, a MiniDisc Walkman, and MiniDisc player/recorder form my home, I still use them! I have roughly 100 or more "mixes" and a few other pre recorded disc. A Sony ES SACD/ CD player still lives in my home theater rack that is also in heavy rotation. Cheers!

For those who regret updating the 3.0 firmware and want to revert the change, the 2.0 firmware is still online.

Now for 'potential' legal reasons I cannot link it myself, but its still hosted on sony's very website.

• Go download the 3.0 firmware, and just change the URL where it says NW-WM1_V3_00.exe to NW-WM1_V2_00.exe

That is all. Have fun.

Edit: I saw it has been posted earlier here already.

Why are some wanting to revert back to 2.0? To be honest I'm looking forward to USB Dac and using it as a Bluetooth receiver.

 

[br4lin]

they say they dont like the sound quality or that it crashes or something. idk.

 

[ryaneagon]

Interesting Sony would want to change the sound signature, or I assume they didn't or don't realize that these changes have done so....

Have anyone dropped a WM1A or 1Z and any damage to it? thanks lol

Im on 2.0 on SE it sounded just better than 3.0 on 1A

I perceived a change in sound, but for good, more soundstage, more details, SE is better than 2.0

I don’t really need the new features and on 3.0 my player crashed every 2-3 hours and upon restart would spend 15-20 minutes rebuilding the database. Back on 2.0 and everything is once again rock stable with no crashes

Why waist time on the covers?
Enjoy the music!

But if you really want to fix all your covers, you can use “tag editor free”, or swinsian.

Usually the dimension of the cover should be less than 700x700.

I use a PC, but I always Google the album cover images and then add Amazon and get it from Amazon's images. They are always baseline, and rarely fail to show up. I'm in iTunes without signing on, so the album artists aren't automatically added, and then I just look for the ones that are blank and fix them.
