Just got my unit and love it! As for the balanced plug...do you folks use an adapter? If so what one would you recommend? I've got some nice cans and would love to finally try this balanced thing!

If your phones are single ended you can’t get an adapter as you can’t go from single ended into a balanced output. If your phones are already balanced (2.5mm, xlr or the like) you can get adapters from many different cable builders

I ended up getting the Pentaconn from Moon Audio.

Picked up a WM1A last night and so far i'm really impressed with how it drives the Andromeda.

Played some of my favorite albums again and they sound spectacular compared to my LG V30. It's not that the V30 is bad, it's just the WM1A is that good...

Now hunting for 4.4mm balanced cable

Does anyone charge the wm1a via computer or via a plug in on a anker charger?
I've used both the computer usb and and iPhone wall wart plug on my 1Z. Both work fine.

I use both PC nad xperia wall charger. Though it won't charge any faster even using a Fast charger, I read somewhere Walkmans have a current limiter

Thanks guys. Anyone get the 30hr playback? For me I get more around 20ish hours.

About 20 is where I’m at as well playing 16/44 flac in balanced out in low gain

About 20 myself, playing everything from aac and 44/16 to 2.8 DSD. You could probably get 30 or so playing all mp3 files, I would guess.
