It is a not about Sony being fussy over card format, is more about the inherent nature of the file system, fat 32 can only see, of I remember, up to 64GB, therefore exFAT was created to be able to work with cards greater than 64, my zx 100, formatted 64 and below cards as fat 32, and 128 and up as exFAT

I learned this from windows XP haha tried to cram fat in a 120GB hard drive and didn't work until I used ntfs

Most USB drives are fat 32 because they are lower than 64. But I got to try a sanddisk 128 cruzer and it was exFAT formatted.

That fiios, ak, etcétera format 128 GB cards as fat seems so unnatural to force a file system whose upper limit is 2^32 addressable bytes

Unlike many players I've used, this Sony is very particular about cards. None of my pre-loaded cards would work (all of which worked on multiple other players). My solution was to format fat 32 and let the Sony, when tethered, populate the card. a PITA, but that' what worked...
I had a similar issue and like you I had to format for it to accept my card. I noticed that after formatting, the OS put some additional files in root which didn't when I inserted the pre-loaded card.

I don't think so! For a complete Sony boy/fan, you need the new Sony tips: http://www.sony.jp/headphone/products/EP-TC50/. I have them and it works fine with your rigid MUC-M12SB1. For me they are more confortable than the Complyfoam tips (and chepaer becouse the Comply lasts to me less than 3 weeks of daily usage).

lol! I do have these. They hurt my ears. Even the normal Isolation Complys don't work for me as well as the Comfort series does.

I'm using this new tips with my EX1000 and it's the best choice imo. Hoping to get them paired with WM1A this week :L3000:

This is awkward. Aren't You trying to insert them too deep? These are the most comfortable tips I have ever tried.

I bought 2 pair for my 2 pair of Z5 and I have bought another pair of tips for my EX1000. I think they are the best tips I have tried. They stay in my ear becouse it's roughness without widing my ear like the Complyfoam.

I think you may have just hit the nail on the head with that observation!
