​Most likely some of your covers are iether non-jpgs or progressive jpg... al cover must be baseline jpg in order to work properly


Thank you kindly @gerelmx1986 for the info, pardon my ignorance, how do I check whether they are baseline jpg or progressive jpg? All I know I Yate download automatically the cover and embedded it to the file, appreciated again is your expertise and guidance.

  Has anyone removed that ugly "made in malaysia" sticker at left bottom of the player?
 
I tried to remove it but could only succeed in removing the top layer . Didnt wish to scratch at it for fear i would scratch of some of the gold finish...

P.S. No offense to malaysians or malaysia whatsoever. Just stating since we all know that the WM series are all made there yes?

 
I removed mine upon unboxing. Note that the process is not for the faint of heart.

Sony NW-WM1A with Audeze LCD-X and iFi Micro IDSD
 
I have the Audeze LCD-X that I listen through the iFi Micro IDSD and before I make the plunge to get the Sony NW-WM1A, appreciate anyone who has the same gear combination give some comments.
Which adapter do you recommend to use to connect the Audeze's 4-pin XLR balanced cable with the WM1A balanced output?
Would using a 4.4mm TRRS to RCA jack adapter work if I were to connect the WM1A balanced output into the IDSD coaxial input? I doubt I could use the IDSD USB input since the WM1A uses Sony's inhouse software and not Android or iOS which work with the IDSD.
Thanks.

My WM1A 450+hrs into balanced and still experienced changes in sound. What is this sorcery?

On my WM1A, I also was surprised that the SQ which I thought would have no further changes at 450 hrs, had changed further (improved), when I checked at 550 hrs.  So  500 hrs is a usage point to keep in mind.  I believe other people have reported similar findings.

Silly question; 
 
Do you guys ever turn off the walkman when not in use or "burning in" ?

Sony WM1A or QP1R ? Pls Advise...

You won't go wrong with WM1A.
 
But you must have a 4.4mm balanced cable to get the best out of it.

Initially I do off it.
 
But over time, I just left it on.
