Lol, that was a good laugh. I wished Sony would honor me so much. I am no more than an enthusiast with a heart for Sony and even bigger heart for Audio performances + DIY hobby. On another note, I didn't upgrade my firmware because it did only improve some language and dialogues, and I totally forgot it lol!

Actually I do remember seeing that as it goes and at time is why I never done the update as thought it was a bit irrelevent and had nothing big to offer, forgot that myself which was a while back now....

Maybe that is why I thought I was up to date originally prety much but didn't realize i was two updates behind by looks of things with been stuck on 1.00.

Have past 100h on single ended....sounds absolutely fantastic. To my ears a lot better than first 50h.
wait till another 100h and you are in for bliss, however you will stop hearing changes until 550 hours approx

S***!, I have got a shed load more hours to do then until mine is burnt in! I probably only got around a 100 hours at moment.

i hnestly thought these Walkmans would be about 100-150 at most?

Well, 100-150 hours is where the real bliss start as where the changes would be rapidly, but it will still slowly evolving until the mark of 500-550 hours or so...

I think Sony states 200 hours to settle these Capacitors in

I'm still in for a treat then!

I have noticed the sub bass has become more refined sounding recenlty and more organic as well as tonally different with intrument reproduction thus far.

Going to do a lot more lsitening now!...:dt880smile:

Thank you.

That's quite astonishing Sony's device connectivity is so limited...

Not really. They designed it specifically to be the best dap they could make and nothing else. Personally that is exactly what I want.

Now, a funny thing is that I am trying to figure out what this wire do inside the Walkman itself ..... I am pulling my hair over it


Well, it appears to bridge the power and audio sections of the mainboard - so probably best to leave that one alone :skull:
