Yes but only if somebody actually intend to use the outputs, it is very expensive if only used for charging
Well, there is really no other options unless you know something. I think he also uses the output on it, not only charge

Welp, it’s here. Time to hum and enjoy my music. Practicing my Japanese reading will make this all the more interesting to cycle through the menus.

I find myself plugging straight into the phone with foobar loaded up in flacs. Just not feasible for me to lob a dap around since I’m already carrying a lot of gear. (Sort of a field engineer)

Sony has been releasing smaller daps like nx507... but I think there’s been rumors of very poor battery life. Has anyone heard them if they belong in the same conversation as wm1a 1z?

I see people in the ZX507 thread stating that is is not in the same league at the WM1A (my paraphrase).

Flip the region with Rockbox, (other regions are all multilingual) set the language to English then reset the DAP back to region J for Japan, player will retain the selected language, not default back to Japanese.

Comments about my dock... Yes, it looks cool, holds my Walkman upright, is easy to plug and remove.

Bluetooth remote is on the way from Accessory Jack.

Why would I use the digital output when the WM1A headphone out sounds so great?

Approaching three years of use and yet I still smile sheepishly whenever I pull them out of the carrying pouch :ksc75smile:

I'm well aware of the existence of this cable but I was actually looking for something to convert the signal to coaxial/optical to work with my dac....in fact, I'm disappointed there aren't any options around based on this
My modded 1a is really good for iems and low impedance hp like Z1R but my desktop does push hard-to-drive hp and even Z1R to the next level. At the same times, I appreciate having the navigation convenience from my sony dap where I have better organized the library more than my computer

Sony have a simple stand just for the WM cable. This is what I use as I only wanted a charging stand

Sony’s Japanese website has the stand with the hi-res audio. What model number is that stand of yours?

Mine is the black STD-NWU10-B but it also comes in other colours. I got mine on eBay

Now my WM1A sounds just about right with the HD-660S. Work rig end game.

Haha, I’m sitting here with a Woo3 in front of me too, I never tried that?
