My wm1a burn in journey is a true roller coaster. Brightness and over accentuated highs that started at around 400 hours and peaked around 500 are basically gone at almost 600 hours. It's brighter than it was at 200 hours but it's no longer fatiguing

Using the new music center... its slow, worse tan sonicStage days.

serach has bugs, if i type Bach it should bring all content with Bach be artista, composer, álbum name, title etc and to my surprise it doesn't. all of the 60+ CDs of bach cantatas only brought two.

Switched back to MediaGO

EDIT:

Mediago scanned 49,600 flac files in 1 hour, 880GB or 2940 albums...

Music center missed 3600 tracks (odd) and took 8 hrs

Wow, looks like a bit of an epic fail. Perhaps the size of your library is causing the software to puke at various points of the scanning process. If there is a physical limitation Sony really ought to come clean on it. I wonder if its using an xml schema as an index rather than building a proper relational database - which would be the best way of doing this sort of thing.

Actually Music Center is using Access for its database, stored in C:\ProgramData\Sony Corporation\Music Center\Packages\

Wow - there really shouldn't be any reason for this from that perspective then, assuming that databse is being built correctly of course and stuff isn't just being lumped into one big table!

It's only been released for a couple of days. Future updates surely will fix this. In the meantime, I switched back to Media Go.

It's nice to see your DAP grow lol

My WM1A is probably an adult now.

I'd like to think so - be a shame if the product turned out to be of limited value.

Is there any rumors for adding MQA and DAC function for WM1A/Z? As it is added in recently announced A40 and ZX300 and I do not want to believe that Sony will not add them to it's flagships.

USB dac sure why not but MQA? it's a format created for streaming purposes and wm1 doesn't have that.

The burn in continues.

You can purchase and download tracks that is MQA mastered, it's not limited to streaming.

 

[siruspan]

Yes, but it's a lossy compression of hires music so why bother? Just buy a real hires or dsd.

MQA is lossless.

Apparently from what I have heard there are only 2 DAC's capable of doing this right now, but to expect to see DAPS and such to have it next years CES, also MQA actually has to be built into the board its not a simple "stick on the board and it works or a software push".

 

[siruspan]

People responsible for MQA are saying that it's lossless because you can't hear the difference but in reality it is lossy compression because some of the information is permanently lost. Sure you can debate if you can hear the difference but you can also debate if there's even audible difference between 16/44 and 24/192 and shannons theorem says theres none.

In short mqa is the same to 24/192 as was mp3 to 16/44
