how old is yours?ohh thats pretty big difference xD

1 year 9 months with 2.000 hours on it and it's a 1Z, not that that should make any difference though.

It drives a pair of JH13 ciem at around 50 on the volume

Pairing my newly acquired mdr-1am2 with wm1a. Very nice but setting the 1A with vinyl processor overwhelms the bass so back to Direct Setting.

Thanks for this Information! Now I will my 1a never turn it off and try FW 3

I went back to FW2 after repeated crashes on FW3. Never had a crash before FW3 and don't need any of the new features

I have seen 1A go down for $440 somewhere in April/May. Sad to think something so expensive is now worth a fraction.
Although I hate buying used electronics, to look at a personal collection and see retail vs current price of my setup makes me depressed at times.

Where ? I would love to buy one for that price and modify the heck out of it :D kakaka. Though, battery for these are hard to come by. Did someone mention that encompass now carry them ?

Do you know if Sony made an app to control the DAP over Bluetooth? I must realized we can stream music over Bluetooth (with everything that entails quality wise, but that’s handy to listen to something on my phone with just a 4.4mm earphone :) so why not just controlling it?

There is a Sony BT remote for the Walkman. It is small, and can be operated without looking at it.

I am nnew into this and I plan on buying a WM1A. I was wondering if anoyne knows how they work with high end headphones such as the Arya or ADX5000 without an amplifier? Is there a huge difference? Should I use the WM1A with earbuds instead? If yes, which ones do you recommend?
