1000% on balanced all the time, 3.5mm jack is never used. I upgraded to V 3.0 and still on the last bar for the past 2 hrs, may be your unit is faulty. Try contacting Sony, but their customer service is lousy.. never had a +ve experience with them.
With my other Sony players, e.g., the NW-ZX1 and the -45, I can analyze my on-board library within my DAP to extract the parameters that it uses to set up the “mood” playlists., e.g. “morning” or “energetic.”
My WM1A will not do this, but instead advises me that I need to do it off line. I am not able to to that, but even if I could (using the old or new Sony tool whose name escapes me), I don’t know how I would download the analysis info.

Has anyone been able to get the 1Z working as a USB DAC with an iPhone? Using the iPhone camera adapter and the standard 1Z USB cable I can get the DAC screen on the 1Z with the volume to show up but no sound no matter what I play on the iPhone. I set the 1Z to not charge over USB, but can't find any other settings on either the DAP or iPhone that help. Any ideas? It's an iPhone X running the latest iOS.

I transferred all my content to my 1Z with Sony music centre software. It supposed to do a 12 tone analysis automatically for the whole library to enable a 'mood' listing.
However the player still reports some files not analysed and don't have a clue which ones. I agree they should have included this capability within the firmware like it was in previous Sony players..
Hi, this may be a dumb question - is there a way to connect a non-balanced headphone amp to the WM1A while still using the 4.4mm input on the WM1A? I.e., as a pre-amp? I would like to try an amp my LCD2C on the balanced input of my WM1A - do I need an amp with a 4.4 input to do this? Thanks

You can connect the 3.5 output of the WM to a single ended input on something else or the 4.4 output of the WM to a balanced input of something else. Never mix balanced and single ended
Thanks, that looks handy. But that would still suggest that I'd have to use something like this for the balanced end of my LCD2's right? I was basically to seeing if there's a workaround to avoid spending another $1k on a headphone amp with a 4.4mm input to get more power to the Audeze's (such as Sony's own one or the WA11). Thanks.

I charge my player once a week and never turn it off. I get about 20 hours play time during that week playing 16/44 flac with direct source on balanced low gain
