Anyone know if the wm1z has more power vs wm1a ? Whats the best dap for dac use and has a 4.4mm jack

Same power as far as I know. The best dac dap is the one with the sound you like best

i need a reminder about the pics thing

i have to rename the pic inside the folder as the title of the folder , in order for it to appear on my wm1a screen ?

also , the pics from amazon are baseline by default so i am fine picking those up ?
Amazon pics I have no experience.

Jpgs must be named same as folder. For that I use mp3tag batch processors to export the cover and automagically rename as the containing folder with %_directory%

Great combo ..

I got the ex800 from ebay at around 200$, i dont think there too much competition at this price, i got final audio e4000 at the same time, but i just rarely reach for it.

@gazzington You should definitely consider this one among your choices, isolation is meh, and leaks a lil bit, but its amazing from top to bottom.

Yes, if you are not embedding the artwork in the file tag, you can place the .jpg inside the folder and have it show up on the DAP if it is named the same name as the host folder. This is especially useful for .wav files, which does not work on the Sony with embedded artwork.

And for baseline artwork files, I grab them from the following database, which has worked 100% of the time for me:

brilliant , tried 4 albums and all 4 showed up :muscle::left_facing_fist:

bookmarked , now let's start adding those covers

thank you so much (and @nc8000 , always a great helpful person here so kudos )

I was thinking of ex800 or Sony z5

Damn! Apocalyptica is strangely addictive. They are like a good mixture and combination of classic rock + modern rock + classical instruments all together ....even some good ballad and pop in there .

Not to mention that they are pretty well recorded for this kinda genres ! Woooo0000 I am in love !

i have a question regarding cover pic

when you have an 2-cd album , with 2 sub-folders ( cd1 / cd2 ) inside the main album folder

do i need to put the album name cover pic in both 2 subfolders - and if so , do i keep the album name or the subfolder name (cd1 / cd2) ?

My assumption is that it always has to have the name of the actual folder the files sit in no matter the depth of the file structure so cd1 in your example but I have not tried as I always embed cover art

I never use this cd1/cd2 structure when I have multiple cd albums, I put all files in the same folder and then adjust the track number tag so the first track from cd2 starts at 1 more than the last track of cd1

I have multiple CD albums in separate folders , so one folder for.album x CD 1, another folder for album x cd 2 and so on
