The artist was already compensated when the CD was bought new, so no need to compensate an artist more than once for the same CD.

True, but I just meant laws can sometimes not make any sense when it comes to the rights to something like music or movies. In my country it was technically illegal to make a copy of an album in any form eg. Mp3 etc and we weren't allowed to rip a DVD to put on a phone or tablet. I could have imagined them having some system where resale of an artists work like a CD could only be resold through an official channel.

Anyone else happy with their players stock sound without flashing with any tuning mods?

I LOVE the sound I get with HD650 and using just a cheap pure silver braided balanced cable from lunashop. I feel this cable critical to get the right tone from this combo (I‘ve tried and own some other way more expensive cables and this is just the best sounding one I’ve heard for this combo).

Interesting....i'm assuming you can no longer buy the HD650 new ?? HD660 S the option...?? I've been thinking of buying the 660's. ( I don't own the 1Z or 1A. )

HD650 is still being sold every where as brand new

WM1A Region J WM1Aᶻ tuning with the CFA Solaris OG and DHC Clone Silver Balanced.
WM1Z Region J stock tuning with the CFA Solaris SE and DHC Clone Silver Balanced.

I found that the WM1Aᶻ tuning take the WM1A closer to the sound of the 1Z but the 1Z can't be beat with the right IEM and cable combo.

I have a duplicate file somewhere in my WM1A, .

I tried Norton utilities bit this does not see any walkman (not internal nor SD)

Have you tried CCleaner - a free utilities program for Mac and PC, I think that searches external media for duplicates.

I will try it. I was removing some tags from my files and found three duplicates on my hard drive so I deleted these files on both hard drives and walkman. And I checked but my wm1A shows one song more

Look at the details for each suspected duplicate. It will show you the exact path where it's stored. Then you can deleted the duplicate on the player or when connected to your computer.

Does anyone else consider their WM1A their holy grail DAP or their end of the line player?

My Modded 1A competes with my desktop DACs, and in ways outdoes them.
Perfect player as far as I am concerned. weight/size/sound quality/battery life etc is right on point.
