I drained mine almost flat copying my files from my iMac to it (3 hrs copy and the other 3 hrs idle but I was sleeping overnight). But I guess that's not a regular thing to do such mass copying so not a big deal.
That was what I was expecting but I guess it didn't last night. Was surprised to see 1 bar left when I woke up this morning (was fully charged last night).
One of the reason why I've been asking so many questions these past few hrs as I'm unfamiliar with the day-to-day operation of this despite having heard it many times at the shop, Sony lab, borrowed Jude's, etc. If there's something wrong with mine then I'd like to get it addressed quickly.
Hey, i haven't been following the thread in a while, but I wanted to ask ,where do you acquire quad DSD (DSD512, right?) files from? Which online marketplace has those?
Just to confirm the WM port and the include cable (WM to USB) can only do charging and files transfer. It does not output digit signal to a DAC like Hugo, right? And it doesn't have any other function?

1) It looks like when charging, the 1Z is always on - i.e. it can't be switched off, and have it charging in off-mode
2) about 2 hrs later it jumped to FULL. I was expecting to see the bars to turn solid one by one to indicate progress of charge but it just seemed to have gone from all flashing bars to FULL after 2 hrs.
Are the two above normal? If so, then esp for #2, how does one see the progress of the charge?
I've never watched my WM1Z's battery indicator to guage progress except the very first time I plugged my unit in... I have the 'Battery Care' option enabled so that it doesn't charge past 90% and I've noticed that the 'missing' 10% isn't registered by the indicator rendering it a tad inaccurate.
1) There isn't a way to turn the unit off when charging
2) On an Intelligent Charge 2A mains charger my unit charges from empty to full in a shade over 2hrs. I've had two WM1Zs and they both charge this quickly.
To guage progress, I don't rely on the progress bar, I look at the red LED indicator (between the power and volume up buttons) which turns off when charging is complete.
I've looked everywhere under settings and there's nowhere which gives an accurate percentage of battery levels, which would have been nice.
For 'Standby Time' I went away over Christmas through to the first week of this month and forgot to turn my unit off (not playing) after a couple of hours play the day before. When I returned some three and a half weeks later, my unit had the 'low battery' indicator displayed. That's pretty good going but would like an auto-power off feature when not in use for long periods in order to conserve battery.
I see, I see. Actually I've got a Ototoy account too, but haven't checked it out in a while, since way before I got my 1Z. I'll go back and check it out later, didn't really look at their DSD section last time

Thanks for the info. Where do you find the above items? Also, once the signals is extracted out of the unit why is it matter where they go? Pha2, pha3, Hugo, Mojo or any DAC that accept digital signals? And do you know if the full signal is extracted or only limited to certain level of DSD?
Indeed. No matter what I try, MediaGo or no MediaGo, it just won't work in areliable fashion. Every software player I have shows the artwork, it even displays in MediaGo, but as soon as the files are transferred to the Walkman -- poof, gone! So annoying.
Edit: Format is .jpg and files are definitely not too large, btw.

Just a shot in the dark but find an 'offending track':
1. Use MP3Tag and load the track
2. Extract the album art from the track (also make sure there's only 1 image loaded to the track, not more)
3. Remove the album art from the track and 'save'
4. Rename the previously extracted art to something like 'cover.jpg' or 'folder.jpg' in its extracted folder
5. 'Add' the newly name album art to the blank track and 'save'

cannot speak for the other DAC/amps but my PHA2A takes the digital out from the WM1A whatever it is Dsd / pcm etc and I get the same output via the balanced 4.4mm on the PHA2A and on the 3.5mm output the Dsd is down converted to 24/192 pcm just like the WM1A's SE if that makes sense to you.
