Afternoon, folks. I am very interested, is it possible to connect an external portable amplifier to sony NW-WM1Z? As far as I know, Sony players do not have the usual chips, they work through pulse width modulation and linear output mode as such absents.

You have to use either of the headphone outs (3.5 to a single ended amp or 4.4 to a balanced amp) as these players don’t have analog line out

...? You sure you're talking about a zx2?

Yes? Had the zx2 since release and even with the fresh battery it drained pretty fast. I've been smashing this player since I got it and it's lasted a lot longer than my zx2 ever did

Really...I did have it too but battery lasted 20hrs+ on for lflac / hi-res flac with occasional dsddsf

Definitely lasted an entire day

Compared with zx2,I can say it's clearer and zx2 didn't have balanced
Zx2 is still good imo but the sounds are generally heavier compared with wm1

Honestly, too soon to tell but i did try a player that was already burnt in at a local store-call it placebo maybe, but it did sound better than my current one. This one sounds a bit..."cold" at the moment, hard to explain. But i know (hope) that will change, as i do think my ZX2 did sound better after some weeks of playtime than when i initially got it.

Jesus christ-i was lucky to get 8-9 hours O_O on max volume with flac (i my HRFlac library is not too big at the moment)

Depending on the music (mainly janime music) I think there zx2 delivers better but with instrumental and vocal emphasized, wm1

Overall wm1 is better but that didn't mean zx2 is bad either

Yeah-when i tested my ZX2 and the WM1A at the local sydney shop (shoutout minidisc@chatswood) the WM1A sounded better in every way to me for the music i listen to. Did a side by side test for about 2 hours and they let me import my own music from SD card to their player and i used my own IEMs.

I was also considering the ZX300 before the WM1A due to price, but tbqh, to me, it sounded quite flat.
