Yes, I had a fiio x3. And had the same experience as @Wyville. Poor battery life (7-9h a day) Sony has always given good battery life. My WM1A I charge it every third day at the end of the day at home, I listen between 6-10h a day so battery of wm1a /z is between 18 and 26h I get on average 26 and that is with the battery care set to on (charges only to 90%)
That is nice to hear, thanks for the heads up.

I reduced the screen brightness to 1 let's see how much battery I get from that, I used to have it at 15

I've always had it at 1. With all effects turned off and bluetooth and nfc turned off I get about 20 hours flac 16/44 play time per charge with battery saver enabled. This is with high gain and volume at 30 driving JH13 balanced.

Hi guys,
I recently purchased a WM1A which is due to be delivered tomorrow and have a couple of questions I was hoping you could help help answer.
I recently purchased a WM1A which is due to be delivered tomorrow and have a couple of questions I was hoping you could help help answer.
- Is there a method of using the player as a desktop DAC to feed a speaker amplifier?
- Do Sony sell a dock of some kind for this player?
- I see Kimber sells a 4.4mm balanced cable with MMCX connectors, any ideas where I might buy a similar cable with 2 pin connectors instead?

No, yes and don't know but most cable makers should be able to do that

I need suggestions as to the best pairing headphones for Sony NW-WM1A.
I have a modified Grado with turbulent driver, wooden cup and double helix cable and flat pads, an extraordinary result to the 3.5mm output jack...thinking about new GH2.

Travel setup, b&h h7 and wm1a sounds great with BT Ldac connection, the BT on the Sony wm1a is the best ever tried.

It'll only use LDAC if the headphones have it too. AFAIK only some Sony headphones and wireless adaptors do.Travel setup, b&h h7 and wm1a sounds great with BT Ldac connection, the BT on the Sony wm1a is the best ever tried.

That is one thing I have to mention, I don't think Sony WM1A have even Apt-X as those are patented and they would have to pay ito it somewhat. The WM series are all Sony technologies, with LDAC was said to be better. Thought we do have Apt-X HD now, do we ?It'll only use LDAC if the headphones have it too.

Apt-X HD spec is not as good as LDAC though. Apt-X HD supports 24bit/48kHz with a bitrate of 576kbps, LDAC supports 24bit/96kHz with a bitrate of 990kbps. Their approach is entirely different though, Apt-X HD uses smarter encoding to fit more into one channel and also requires very specific Qualcomm hardware, but LDAC uses two bog standard BT channels for more bandwidth AFAIK and should work across more devices.

Yes, and this is usually the case with Sony, people only appreciate it when it is goneNo Aptx or Aptx HD on WM1A/Z

Yes, but in the main menù of the BT function, there is no way to exclude sbc or ldac way code.

Is it possible to connect my wm1a to a auralic vega dac?
I would go headphone out of wm1a and input via rca on vega...I'm not sure?
