I am not wound up about anything, I am just saying. It is true that we all have different preferences, but also count in experiences. Let’s take Head-if oldest guide line for example, you can not judge a piece of equipment until you hear it.
My WM1A is hardware modified all around, in which I justified selling my SP2000. I also posted a specific and detailed post about WM1A, and what lead me down this road.
You asked us why WM1A stock with mod-firmware doesn’t sound good, then I told you the internal wires is an issues. You have not even swapped it out, and still going on about how bad a stock 1A is. Yes, for 1000 times I repeat, stock 1A is not a high-end player, at least go grab a 1Z or so, if you can’t modify the 1A the way I did, or other places had done.
You know what ? Yes, it bothered me, because SP1000 back in the day was a competition toward WM1Z, and not WM1A, and I keep repeating that the WM1A stock is bad, and it needs works.....and here you keep repeating that the 1A is bad, and even mod-firmware can not help when comparing to stock sp1000....
You like Sony Battery and portability ? Go get a 1Z, the 1Z and 1A is not equal ground, both firmware and hardware wise. And another 1000x times I will repeat, the WM1A is a tier below WM1Z
Then comes from this experiences, the WM1A has the ability to go as far as the WM1Z or better, but needs a lot of works, hardware and firmware wise. It can even outperform SP2000.
I have a question guys. If I'm using the balanced out on my 1A to the balanced in on my desktop amp, what gain and volume settings should I use? I want to try this to see if it drives my planar headphones better than the 1A alone.

Easy man, not everyone is going to mod their hardware, so stock device is what it is for them.
There's great potential, both hardware and firmware wise, for 1A / 1Z. But not everyone is bothered to read through all the pages and exploit the full potentials. Just let them be.

Lowest gain with maxed out volumes. This preserves the lower voltage within the systems while maxing out the dynamic range that your WM1A can potentially do
Better resistors
Better capacitors for power block and output block
Better Chassis
Better Kimber Kables
Better Firmwares...even though using the same file
That is a guidance and recipe to how to better your WM1A. You can even make WM1A better simply by sticking to the guidances but choose a much higher quality on components
Firmware modification used to be a unicorn, but now we have captured it too. Therefore the potentials of WM1A is “Vast”
Finally it's time to hear the new FWs in all their glory , this baby just landed on my ears and is paired with my Zeus XR
Stock WM1A (J region, Solis T5) > PW 1960s 2w > Zeus XR
Now my Zeus XR is ready to travel to the Sun , damn what a time to be a music lover (with all these toys to play with and all this music to find/discover through Net)
fellow montrealer!! nice
sine we dont have sony in mtl anymore id need to order it off amazon.
do you daily your daps on metro and bus ? are they combersome ? and what headphones do you use with them ?

Regarding the musicclip folder that turns up with region J I have tried to copy various video files in there and at least some wmv and mp4 files are recognized and the player plays the sound track but no video. Some mp4 files are recongnized and show up but will not play and mov and flv files don’t show up at all
