Not sure if I understood correctly but regardless of the
internal memory/sd card, your songs will play if they are in MUSIC folder. Did you try formatting your SD card and then copy your files using MediaGo application? If not, give it a shot. It will work.


Sorry mate. I mid read someone's comment. Thought it was addressed to me, but it wasn't. I just wanna use the wm port as a line out for my vorzuge amp. Just nothing's happening

Not quite as low as before, but amazon uk have warehouse stock of the wm1a in at £734 or thereabouts.  Lowest it has been for quite sometime.

what kind of input port your amp has and what cable you using to connect the Walkman and amp? Post pictures and we will dig deeper :wink:

I'm a big fan of E.S.T., too.  They're on the ACT label, and every release on ACT sounds great (to me) on the WM1Z.

It's a wm port to a 3.5mm, feeding to the amp. The inputs are in the right place XD

"Sony also removed the analog line out from WM port, which put the new Walkman WM series to be only compatible to Digital output for transport and if you need to use line-out analog, you can use either headphones output"

Dang. Time to buy an interconnect then! XD Thanks for your help mate. Try and find a 4.4mm to 3.5mm (if existent)
Thanks again

Curious, why you need to use an amp with the 1A? Is the output not enough for you? Not even in the balanced mode? You using a European capped version?
I understand if you want to bypass the inbuilt DAC, but using just an amp doesn't seem logical... Just my 2 cents

I got a pair of ether flows and when I used them with my zx2, I felt that things were congested. Used the amp, things didn't seem to be so.

It'd just be nice if it'd be the same with the wm1a, though it isn't as conjested as I remember the zx2 being. It feels quite close to how it was with the zx2-vorzuge combo. But I do feel the ethers could use more juice,
(I don't have a strong audio knowledge) XD

Do you have the provision to run Ether flows balanced on WM1A? Balanced output has more power. Anyways, for now it only appears that a 4.4 to 3.5 or 3.5. to 3.5 can help you.
And don't get just any cheap adapters. I heard they can short your player.
