Recently picked up another WM1A on the strength of update 3.01 and the hope for smoother sound with the Vinyl Processing feature and I have not been disappointed.
SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A

Lexar, Micron, Sandisk: the 1tb $500 question. Which one are you going to get?

Man that’s some serious stuff there. All I got is my HAP-S1
Nope, for home use, it is lacking of many many things x_X. Only if you want semi-portable and an all in one device that can outperform wm1Z and more power to drive your full-size headphones
This is my office rig
I wanted to minimize my system, but it failed to impress me that way...I found myself going bigger and bigger every year

I’ve never had a problem with Sandisk so I expect I’ll get one and also a 1TB full size SD

Thank goodness for 4K videos and the endless line of amateur videographers! Without them, we would still be stuck with 64 GB cards.

Hi,
I have recently purchased a WM1A and 64 Audio U12T Headphones.
On my previous ZX2 with shure 846 the TRRS Silver Dragon Wire made a great difference to the sound.
Could I expect the same difference with this new player and headphone setup?
Or should I just be happy with the wire that came with the U12T.
I would appreciate any opinions.
Thanks

Cables make the differences, but it depends on a lot of factors. You want to make sure that your cables as the last thing in your chain to synergies well with your system. Some people can hear it, and some people can not. A general rule is that if your wm1a is more neutral and your headphones is brighter, you get a warmer cables and so on...u get the thrill
I have WM1A and 64Audio U8, for me there was a great difference when upgraded the cable to a Toxic Cables Virus hybrid 24 awg or Effect Audio Ares II.
Personally I don't like the stock or even the premium cables from 64audio, the IEMs are great but the cables... meh.

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to save a sound setting to an album like Neutron? I have an opportunity to buy a WM1A cheap but this is an important issue for me.
Can't be done.
That seems awfully incapable. With so many sound settings and only 3 presets. Does anyone find this restrictive?
I don't. typically use direct mode 99% anyway, no eq. I do like the vinyl processor though and will use it some of the time on certain albums.

The future is now... Wonder if our wm1z can handle this

It should work, but I doubt WM1z has the internals to take advantage of A2 and U3 so it will default to A1 and U1. I personally would not pay the premium for a faster read/write performance since it has no bearing on audio quality.
And while we are on the topic of massive sd cards... Can we have the option to NOT scan the metadata before we can even browse and listen in folder view, Sony???
