wich FW? balanced right?

Currently on 3.01 and yes using balanced mostly lately.

No Line output. For analog source, can use 3.5mm headphone jack to RCA

For digital, can use its USB DAC feature via USB-OTG (WMport) to USB B, coaxial or toslink ; for wireless, bluetooth .

Thank you. But 3.5mm headphone jack to rca...this is not the best option.
Never mind. Thank you for info.

Well it’s the only option (or 4.4 to xlr input). The signal is really clean so you don’t really get any bad effect from the double amping

Yes indeed. Using 3.5mm to rca output to my magni 3. Nice clean sound and no clipping whatsoever. Tested and verified with 1khz sweep test.

Hmm....this is interesting.
I cant deside between WM1A and Cayin N6ii.
And for me is very important line out, because I need something for my integrated amp.

I also used 3.5mm to RCA , no problem very clean signal. Only on certain remasterings like Mozart piano sonatas with Christoph Offenbach on DG and if.you put high gain . 120/120 and.max the volume of the.amp you heard a hiss also with Beethoven piano sonatas set with Vladimir Ashkenazi on Decca/London this hissing happens BUT I REPEAT. YOU MUST CRANK THE VOLUME.OF.BOTH WM1A (H gain vol. 120) AND.IN THE INTEGRATED AMP TO MAX to hear it sure.you'll kill your hearing ar such volumes. On more.modern recordings like.phillips Mozart is dition or.DSD and hi-res flac I didnt heard.any hiss at all.

Update I us d a Fisher audio system from the early 90s

Thank you for this info.

So in the day use it in my speaker system and in the night for headphones

the Fisher audio setup is from my best friend in hamburg, he told.me he for.it when the currency still was the Deutsche Mark.

In contrast my husband has a dogy surround with cheap speakers, and for changing sources he uses a DJ mix console with sliders for each channel. I tried my wm1A also RCA to 3.5mm with PCM is fine, but dare to play any DSD album and you dont need to crank volume loud, so normal listening.levels and it hisses like a really pissed off cobra snake

maybe the DJ console from my hubby has a short or another defect I have no knowledge of. Tried various DSDs from bought ones to self-ripped SACDs from 2.8 MHz to 11.2MGz and in all cases it hisses. With PCM tried all from CD tips, 16 and 24bit from 44.1 to 192KHz and it plays fine. Odd, that's why I spent 200€ to travel to Hamburg and visit my friend to test this on gos fisher Nd all fine on the fisher setup clean marvelous SQ

Seems like the new android walkmans dont have USB DAC

Keeping wm1A for this reason

 

[Vitaly2017]

The DAP has two completely separate headphone amps built in. One for 3.5 mm and a balanced one for 4.4mm connection. Each requires 200 hours of burn in time to start to really shine. They share zero components. So maybe, depending on your usage the 3.5 mm is more mature than the 4.4 mm amp.

I was using my 1z mainly in 4.4 for over 6 months now so be reassured its over past its 200 h burn in
On the other side the 3.5 was never used, and now I tried it with new FW and I like it more. That makes me think why ?

No nor BT receiver. Sony decided those features were not needed with native streaming supported

I can only think that these new walkmans may have the poorest battery life among all sony daps and even compared to their very old mp3 players.
