LOL "an angry snake in our pants".....................thats what she said.
Tried the new 400gb micro sdxc from SanDisk, formatted, it shows “only” 366gb available.
The 256gb micro card is a better value for the price.
I've been looking at this DAP lately and it seems as if it's a great "all in one package" type of value. I haven't seen many comparisons, how does the WM1A compare to a Chord Mojo or even a Chord Hugo 2? I've seen other people on here using the WM1A with the Chord Mojo as well; how does that sound in comparison to another DAP or a Hi-fi Android Smartphone with the Mojo?
Yeah that's the consensus I've gathered. And thanks for the info on Hugo 2, couldn't find anything on that. By how far of a margin would you say the Hugo 2's performance exceeds WM1A? So far that battery life in one package is a damn great deal.I own a WM1Z and a Hugo 2, for a while also a Mojo that I sold at the beginning of the year.
The Hugo 2 outperform the WM1Z but on the other side it's quite big to travel with, I use it as my desk dac connected to my MacBook Pro, while for traveling without any doubt I prefer the WM1Z, it has more storage than any smartphone and the battery can last for over 20 hours, you'll never get the same performance using a smartphone and a mojo/Hugo.
Z5 and the 4.4 Sony KimberHey guys should I go for the Z5 or The Pha-3. I'm using the XBA H3's and Wm1a at the moment.
Don't think you need the PHA-3 to power an IEM, unless you want cans. I read somewhere (forgot where, sorry) that the PHA-3 and WM1A signature is nearly the same. PHA-3 just has more juice, but WM1A in balanced mode can power some cans as well.Hey guys should I go for the Z5 or The Pha-3. I'm using the XBA H3's and Wm1a at the moment.

Regarding your translation of the WM1 Project Member interview, I have a question.
Here's your translation:
"Even so, when the mechanical design thought that we wouldn’t be so reckless to use OFC and assumed the prototype was going to be made using TFC I got angry and said “Of course we are using OFC!” (laughs)."
Here's the original text on Sony Japan:
"実際に聴いてみると、これがもう抜群に良かったんです。とはいえ、さすがに無酸素銅で作るほど無謀とは思えず、試作品だしタフピッチ銅を使ったに違いないと推測してメカ設計に聞いてみたら「無酸素銅に決まっているじゃないですか!」と怒られてしまいまして(笑)。"
Isn't it that, Sato-san originally didn't intend to use OFC copper as chassis, and only wanted to use normal copper but the mechanical design department replied "Of course OFC would sound better here"? My Japanese is not that good so I'm wondering if there's something lost in translation here.
I realized the difference because the Member's Voice translation on Sony China's website is different and says Sato-san didn't originally intend to use OFC but only normal copper. (However, I don't trust Sony China that much.)
I really appreciate and respect the effort you put in to translate this for the English speaking crowd. But I'm just wondering what happened here. A bit of a geeky question, I know.
