Is there any talk of Sony going to an Android based system for their next release, or do we think they’re locked in on their current software?

I am a recent (yesterday) purchaser of a Sony NW-WM1A, and I have newbie question:
How (if at all) do I use it as a digital transport to send bits to my DAC? I tried the WM Sony Proprietary - to - USB cable to a USB hub to the USB input of my Schiit Gungir Multibit DAC (to convert from the USB A of the Sony cable to the USB B cable of the DAC), but it doesn’t seem to be the right way...I get a red light next to the power switch on the WM1A, the battery life indicator oscillates from 0 to 100%, and I can’t find any signal.
Is there some setting on the WM1A I have to use to inform it that I am trying to get it to send bits out, rather than receive bits of a load or volts of a power line?

Thanks... oddly enough, I had ordered one for my ZX1 long before I bought the 1A, but Grand Meister, the amazon supplier, lost the order and I never got it, so I didn't bother to order another.You’re going to need this
The cables i have are kinda hybrid ones, Copper plated with silverUse pure silver cables and you can drop 15/20 on the volume

Never thought that after months and I am still in love with my WM1A.. Love how clean, dark, detail and soft it is.
P/S: just bought Benks transparent case for my WM1A. Neat. Fitting is good. Protection 7/10. Aesthetic 9/10 (fingerprint).
I am curious too.Has anybody tried the new Campfire Audio Atlas with their Sony?
Then never try WM1Z. It's darker than WM1A from what i tried in shop.

What are your overall impressions between the two Sony DAPs, and which do you prefer? What was burn in time on demo units? Love the 1A, but lusting for the 1Z
Not sure the burn in time, it probably there more than 1 year since it is released. I am using 4.4mm
If you have a WM1A burn in for more than 500hrs balanced and still wowed by it. That's something. I was listening to the song that was preloaded in.
It sounds like an old slower pace instrumental song, something like jazz. The background is so dark. The feeling was so real, like i am listening it LIVE at the venue with the singer singing to me.
Other more rock or faster pace songs, i have not tried in the player yet. I only have a brief 10mins listen to the player as i am curious. Nice experience i would say.
