Polymer-ion already beat the crap out of Li-ion batteries.
But they still cost twice the price, so they are barely used.

You would think that they represent nothing in the manufacturing cost of high-end DAPs, but greediness being what rules the world...

What about li-polymer

What about li-polymer

What about nuclear ?

By the way, what happens if I plug in headphone to both 4.4 and 3.5mm jacks?

Quadraphonic sound!!!

In 2023 I’ll just send my Walkmans to Music Sanctuary in Singapore for a new battery and the Kimber Fiberoptic rewire. Maybe the new batteries will last a month by that time, as well as charge by Wi/Fi.

If they figure out a battery mod I will be all over that!

Also Lithium ion batteries are degrading as soon as they leave the factory, their lifespan isn't just dependent on the amount of charge cycles it gets (as gerelmx1986 stated above).

I'm not familiar with Polymer Ion batteries.

Why not ? It can even be a removable battery mod if you don’t mind having it a bit more chunky, and you believe it has nothing to do with sound performances. Just get something up to specs, some modification to the chassis back, running some wires and some soldering.

You can even have a battery as thick as a book that can last for months and removable Roflmao, if you don’t care about the “resell” values.

There is nothing impossible, just how crazy you want for it, and how much you pay for it. Period

So, Tesla doesn’t sell cars ? They sell battery ? LOL. Mega Battery manufacturing places in the US, and their cars running on it. I can see that they are doing the HP printer and Ink business models

Hopefully we'll get some cheaper 4,4mm female to 3.5mm single ended adapters soon:

Done... spent $20 and still have 3 x 4.4mm sockets

I'm not familiar with their longevity or suitability for powering a Dap (Polymer lithium ion batteries) , so I don't feel knowledgeable enough in this instance to comment, was my point.

Bit too much solder on that, you want to cut it off and start again. Solder isn't there to add more conduction it's there to anchor the metals together...... Just saying

 

[proedros]

has anybody compared the 1.20 and 2.00 FWs on how they make the WM1A sound ?

i am on 2.00 atm , was 1.20 more warm ? what are your experiences ?

 

[gerelmx1986]

Firmware 2.00 Imho best

 

[zardos]

If there was a change in sound, and yes I also hear a tiny difference between 1.2 and 2.0, I think that change was not intended by Sony.

Well, you would never known....now where the heck is my USB-DAC feature ! Lol...

Still at previous fw, didn't even try the newer one after seeing all the feedback. Still happy with the sound, so didn't feel the need to upgrade
