Ah, he was asking about an adaptor to go from 4.4mm Male into 3.5 SE connection. If that is the case, it would work. I am in fact going to make one soon, very soon. Actually 2x, but one is reserved

For a moment I thought he was asking about using 4.4mm Balanced out on the Walkman into an SE headphones

​Yes 4.4mm male to dual 3.5mm females (Z5 & Z7 "PHA-3" balanced standard)

Probably for clarity sake, it's 4.4mm FEmale to 3.5mm SE male

 
Yes, this exactly, so I could theoretically just unplug from wm1x, and plug directly into say, SE home DAC, without having to swap cables/etc... 

 
 
@AnakChan, yeah that adapter looks really well done, but a little much for my tastes as well; nice find though!

Female 4.4 is hard to come by and is at least $50 by itslf

You mean something close to this (yeah I'm aware the below is to a 2.5mm TRRS instead of your 3.5mm male adapter): http://e4ua.jp/?p=2292




But this is a no joke 25,000 yen (~USD$222). A little too expensive for my tastes but extremely well done. I bought 2x square Pentaconn female socket and will solder the wires to male 2.5mm TRRS and 3.5mm TRS instead. Aesthetically won't end up as nice as the one above but should do the job. I'm wondering how the heck the maker above managed to squeeze in the Pentaconn female socket into a round housing unless he built a 4.4mm female socket entirely from scratch.

Yeah like that cable but i want 3.5mm se, not a 2.5mm. Well its too expensive for a small cable. If it's cheaper, may buy it and plug it to a 2.5mm female to 3.5mm male. Will it work this way ? A 4.4mm cable > 4.4mm female to 2.5mm male > 2.5mm female to 3.5mm male ? Too much adapters )

Hopefully availability will increase and prices will drop as they become more common; the need/want is certainly there, I think.

@Anak, that is a beautiful female 4.4. Do you know what is the metal material? And can you buy that for diy?

To turn on the display you have to find the power button. This is a litte annoying because this button is too small...isn't there another activation possible?

nope, i tought the HOLD switch would, but no. i also find it annoying but meh i don't fiddle with the screen that often. would be cool if the sensor remained active and detcted a triple-tap to activate

 

[Lavakugel]

This was the first thing I did notice about the display turn on button. 
 
This power button should be on the other side where the hold button is. Why? Because I'm right handed and could turn it on easier. The hold button is not used that often.
 
Power button should be same size as + Button for better experience.
 
Please Sony if you're reading this improvement for the next player

While I agree with the button is on the smaller side, my experience is that after some time with the unit my muscle memory was able to locate the button pretty easily; now after several weeks, it's automatic.

​if you note headphone Jack wiggling Don't panic bro, is normal as the jacks are not directly soldered to the board, instead they are connected via cabling (in fact more secure against stress points)

Power button not hard to locate.

Always the button under the arch.

I am right handed too. I use thumb on power button.
