Doesn't you need USB camera connector on iPad pro as on the iPhone?

Anyway, I have nw-A55, it supports LDAC on bluetooth and I tried from my Galaxy S8, but for some reason I found way better results with AAC fed by iPhone 6s.

It was the first time for me using LDAC, but I had tried AptxHD in the past with some bt speakers, and also found AAC from iPhone superior also in that case.

The new iPad Pro (2018 revision) is USB-C not Lightning connector, so you don’t need the Camera Connector kit.
You would for the current iPhone.
I connected the WM1A to my Apple TV this morning and played a variety of media (music, YouTube, movies). Great sound and really enjoyable

Cheers

Interesting I didn't know. So what cables to connect iPad pro to walkman using the latter as USB dac, for example for Tidal?

Is there a way to use audiophile cables to use walkman as USB dac (for example audioquest carbon)?

The 1A only supplies output to the headphone output after receiving BT. Also the 1A would be nice as a file player for my Cambridge Audio DACMagic plus (I own); but the 1A does not become recognized. Still it sounds like your going to enjoy BT streaming out from the 1A. Enjoy!

What many of us wanted was BT receiving and digital out from the 1A at the same time. Maybe someday with an update?

Thanks, I am delighted and enjoying the lossless music (24 bit 96khZ) transmitted from WM1A to this Bluetooth receiver via Aptx HD codec. Then SPDIF output from this Bluetooth receiver to SPDIF input to DacMagic via toslink cable. It's been a while I didn't listen to my home HIFI system after getting WM1A. lol

My existing SONOS Connect only support up to 16 bit 44.1kHz (CD quality) sound.

Isn’t AptX HD special to Qualcomm SOC on specific types ? Not sure if the one being used in WM series are using such

From AptX website, there is not stated WM series having AptX HD codec, but only ZX300 has AptX HD feature...

But just now I tested my WM1A, my lossless music is transmitted via AptX HD too.

For USB DAC, you can use this customized WMport to USB-C cable, try to search them at AliExpress , Taobao or any online store...

HeadFier @bflat shared this link to a post he made about connecting his WM1A wired to the iPad Pro.

I have the WM Port to micro-USB female and a USB-C to Micro-USB OTG cable in bound from Amazon.

@nanaholic : « Ergo, what is actually the demand for expensive flagship DAPs in Western markets? «
ENORMOUS !!!
Indeed

Maybe Sony could melt C3PO and use him for the casing. At least Sony could then claim it does come with android.

EX-CEL- LENT !!!

Does anyone know any store to buy a Musashino Label leather case for our DAP that make international shipments? Thank you!

Just got a 512GB Samsung card ($129 Amazon) after filling up my 256MB card and the internal storage. AIF files and hi-res versions do take up plenty of space!

 

[marklivia]

I have the same storage and I've got most of the pertinent parts of my collection in the palm of my hand. Like 1100 albums or whatever! All in glorious AIFF or Hi Res. I'm loving this dap.

I have been used ZX300 with Andromeda and Alo litz 4.4mm balance cable. It doesn’t have hiss, sound good.

Now I upgrade to WM1Z. I disappointed because on WM1Z 4.4mm balance port show a lot of background noise. It hurts my ear when I listened for a while. On 3.5mm unbalance port WM1Z it’s less hiss. Is it normally?

How can I fix? Maybe This paring doesn’t match. I think, should I try WM1A next? Anyone using WM1A with Andromeda 4.4mm balance, Are there any hiss?

Or I should go back ZX300 which one perfect match Andromeda on 4.4mm balance port?

Umm..I use many combinations of IEMs (including K10 Encore, a pretty efficient IEM) and multiple upgraded cables with my 1z and I've never heard 'hissing' either from the balanced or single-ended jack. How old is your 1z? Maybe burn-in will help (?).

I also use Sony IER-M9. It’s so quiet background. I burn-in WM1Z over 500 hours.

What's your gain settings? I wonder if that has something to do with the noise you heard when using Andro + ALO litz cable.

Forgot to ask: did you hear hissing all the time?
