Hey guys
I realize that there has been a massive drop off in forum readership due to the new design but geez-

I posted major news yesterday about finally sourcing a glass screen protector and nobody is commenting on it?

Maybe everyone is silent and just waiting for their orders to arrive!

Too busy enjoying the music and selling off everything that is not bolted down to pay for my new acquisition!

I intend to go for one made by benks and garmas, used them for my Zx 2, and they also have them for the WM1A.

Glass protector has been available during the release of the WM1A, but people was just more concerned about the unit, size sound and hacking. since i'm getting my WM1A in December, i will purchasing these glass protector, brands from benks and garmas can be purchased from taobao, are of high quality, although only available in the asian area, but can be purchased using a agent, haven't check amazon or ebay, but may be available there.

However for this of us not in Asia this is a really easy solution. 4.2 Euros free shipping into the States with arrival in less than a week. That's less than 5$ and absolutely hassle free.

So cheap I bought two of them

Forgive a question which demonstrates my technical ignorance/naivety! Just have had the NW-WM1A for a few days and have already fallen in love with it playing it by Bluetooth through my Bowers & Wilkins P7 Wireless. This is probably sacrilege to true audiofiles, but I have to say I still think the sound is magnificent. The question is: does playing this way burn the unit in? I ask because play time via Bluetooth is not registered for "Audio Played" on the Unit Information screen - and the "Guide to High Quality Sound" instructs us to "simply plug in headphones and play music normally". I reckon I've already played maybe 30 (unrecorded) hours: have these been wasted for the purposes of burn in (though not of course for the purposes of my enjoyment)? Guidance much appreciated!

In your case you get no burn in on the analog output stages you simply do not use them. You only hand over the digital signal to the P7. It does all the analog duties to play the signal.

None what so ever. Over bluetooth what he hears is exclusively the headphone, the source has no effect as long as it delivers a correct and stable bluetooth signal
