Like @nc8000 did the trick of only CD FLAC file son my walkman, woah lots of songs

Have you noticed any change in sound quality? I only have 5500 tracks (same storage amount) at the same total used. I wouldn't mind a few more tracks available, but don't want to lose any of the dynamics currently present

I do note some changes esp in bass less refined and less punch. On high there is a slight loss of details, but for mobile use is not that important. The high resolution versions are on my pc

wow 5500 hours with 3.0 firmware?

Total hours played since it was bought and used. It is like the odometer of your car

Yes but I thought it will get reset whenever you upgrade or downgrade the firmware. maybe I was wrong ...

It only gets reset if you perform a factory reset via settings menu

Hi guys, I just bought the 1A (in Mexico, about 600 USD now after disccount, lot cheaper than other countries), which I will pair with MDR-1ADAC and Sony-Kimber Kable MUC-S12SB1 to balance the headphones.

My question is if you consider that your bad experience with the sound in FW 3.0, compared to FW 1.2 or 2.0, also to the balanced exit in the 1A, or just for the unbalanced one.

Im analyzing if installing the FW 3.0 as soon as it arrives (tomorrow, according to DHL) or stay with the FW 2.0

I can't stay with FW 1.2 since I have some albums in MQA, which I think is not compatible with the 1.2 FW.

Regarding the MDR-1ADAC, I will compare hearing with the balanced cable and with the Walkman not sure which settings will sound best, but I would bet for the balanced cable directly to the 1A.

Thanks!

I’m only at 12 hours and mine is close to 2 years old. I shuffle between different daps and that’s the reason it’s low for me. Also I don’t think I will be upgrading in the next 5 years.
Hopefully the low hours will benefit with longevity on something like the beefy WM

I was thinking about the number of hours too - mine looks quite pathetic on about 35...

Long way for me to go!

I shuffle DAPs too, but have 810 hours...one year old

So you only use it about 30 minutes every month ?

I use it at night and fall asleep within minutes before I shut it off.

I have not put it through even burn in yet. So that lies the problem?

I wish I could get more time with it‍

Has anyone used this LOD with their 1A/Z with Shure KSE1200? Please let me know if this work and if it's better than SE out.

Will not work with the newer WM players as the WM port no longer has analog out

Just use the SE out. At normal gain, you can set to 112 volume and KSE amp at 0 dB padding and it sounds fine with no clipping or distortions.
