all I can say is that Sony engineering is the real stuff. The WM1A is priced ways too cheap for the build and performances quality. I have said this many times before. The 1Z May seem expensive, but it is also cheap for the price, especially that Copper and Goldplated chassis

How will Sony go about with the next future Walkmans ? I do not know. All I know is that Covid is wrecking HAVOC across the world, and many new products being released just can’t get enough sales or attentions, for example the Xperia MKii.

The only right move at this moment is to release Play Station 5 and new games, because people isolate in the house, they want to keep busy, and who doesn’t love video games lol!!!

Anyways, i think it is easy to guess what Sony May do for the next Walkman. Just look at SA Z1

thanks for the insight @Whitigir ...I'm intrigued by the SA Z1 analogy - how would that translate into a DAP? IYO

I am a walkman. I am a man and I walk, but I don't sound as good as a Sony. :smiley:
LOL

possibly newer and improved S-Master, more power output with GAN FETs, possibly more fancy versions with upgraded internal components ? more powerful SOC ? Revamped power supplies ...etc...

"Just look at SA Z1" (looks insane) dough i wonder about power output? 50w per channel maybe 80?

I can hear a difference now that you guys say between SD and Internal memory i hear sound its capped in the higher frecuencies is that correct on SD?

I think the answer is yes, but does the WM1Z use the artistsort and albumsort tags?

I am trying to decide between the WM1Z and newer LPGT.

But when you select artist, are they always in alphabetical order by first name or do they use the artistsort tag instead where I have it last name, first name? Same with the album list under the artist. Are they alphabetical or do they use the artistsort tag for the order of listing.

Ummm there is no way to select how to sort the artists or albums then. If I am correct its only alphabetical. But is that a problem?

I am spending a lot of time populating artistsort and albumsort so artist appear as I want them and albums appear in release order rather than alphabetical.

It doesn’t give any indication but it doesn’t use the albumsort tag and similar tags. I found out accidentally when I first had my player and some things were showing in a strange order

Bummer. I thought that might have been one of the advantages over the LPGT, but I guess not.
