If you enable battery care the battery never gets charged beyond 90% which is what Sony recommends and you should also not let it discharge completely. I have 3 1/2 years stand by and 3.500 hours play time on mine (has never been turned off except when a reboot has been required) and I still get roughly the same times as when it was new. Gerelmex also has over 3 years but over 8.000 hours play time and after a re calibrate also roughly get the same play time as when new. Another user is on his second battery and 18.000 hours play time. Sony specs the battery at 500 full charge cycles but it will likely be functional a lot longer than that

Ok. So I will never let it reach 100%. This first charge I saw the indicator flashing after 17 hours and 30 minutes of usage and that’s when I started charging it. The player telling me that I needed to charge it when the flash commenced was also a big help. Probably if I maintain those charging habits and leave the brightness in its lowest setting, I will be able to enjoy it for years to come

I watched this video on Hi-Res and am wondering if Sony's marketing for the 1Z and price jack up is partially due to it being well.... a marketing gimmick.



In the case of the 1Z and 1A when used with the MDR-Z1R, I honestly did feel a difference in audio quality, recessed mids in the 1A versus more defined bass in the 1Z

Wow this video is dope!!!
I mean this engineer tells us the damn truth in our face!!!

And I am kinda proud as many stuff he mentioned is exactly what I been saying!

Ok I am not a pro but maybe hes right a proper cd quality with best db dynamic range will sound as good as a high res file because we barely can hear the difference.
But let me tell this he still acclaimed the fact that 24/96 is legit and does bring improvement to the sound! But we arent hearing them enough cause its subtle. But I dooo! As I listen 5 hours a day and again you are not guaranteed and immune against fake upsamples albums sold to you.

So in reality if everything is legit and you got s true high res capable hardware and true native high res recording. Then you got it! You have real high res experience to listen.

But as the engineer said there is so much BS that we get fooled by companies... we get totally confused.

I will honest I did a lot of experiments my self I purchased original albums and downloaded rips from vinyls cds and upsampled pcm....

The best way to experience real native dynamic range and music frequency is in wav 24/96 as a bare minimum.
You will get an outstanding dynamic very authoritive sound, warm thick presentation, not bright as cd tend to do.
Big deep thumpy bass.

Wav format is at its purest and uncompressed form! Wav is the birth its the base dna unaltered of the music file.
Anything like flac mqa is a conversion and it does alter the sound to my ears.


Again I I totaly agree with this guy he telling us the truth and we get fooled by big companies.
Though your statement about sony making 1z over beefed and over priced vs 1a has no correlation to this video which is all about file formats.



Once more get native 24/96wav or dsd64 and experience the best sound you ever heard!

Haha I honestly havent heard it yet. And I also love my noir they offer something that none headphones or iems can do!

I am past 1500 hours and I can say it sits very high above the everest mountain.

I’m certainly expecting mine to last at least another 5-6 years and possibly more before I will need a new battery

Using smart phone. That’s why I couldn’t see

Fully charged at 90%. Thank you much

Always international, so security is more stringent, nor are all countries equal. Just not worth the hassle IMO, as ultimately if they don't agree your either not flying or the DAP will be left behind...

Q-6

I took 20 international flights since I had WM1Z in Feb-2017, including China, Japan, Dubai, France, Germany, Poland, Baltic States, Sweden, etc. and don’t have any issue with it. Only one time being asked by an officer at Beijing airport, I showed him it is a DAP and said that I am a Audiophile, he smiled and let me go.

Any idea how long 1A should last if you use it as bluetooth receiver?

nc8000 said the battery will cut in half

 

[Vitaly2017]

nc8000 said the battery will cut in half

17 to 18 hours for me

I got about 18 hours previously. Don’t use it much nowadays though.
