Zhe poblanos m of alac is the container. MP4 A/V container, so it can contain movie Als auch audio data. Das heißt, that it doesnt have error checking mechanisms like flac each frame has a CRC and file end another CRC hash. Ich bin der.meinung, dass glac has better and is easier to spot file corruption. Db power shows two types of flac stream corruption
Audio stream corruption - Bad news if you don't have backup
Metadata stream corruption, fixeable
Why are you mixing english, deutsch and spanish Gera??

I don’t know how to rotate the picture, but this is one of the most engaging setups I’ve ever tried, pb one and wm1a++ firmware, damn... that bass... so smooth and refined, truly something else

I had the wm1a + RAH combo and was amazing using silver and blue filter combination. These pb one most sound even better!

Haven’t finished burn in, though, they are on a phase where the treble is getting a bit murky, will give em a couple of more hours, i went through the same with the atens and zenith’s, My rah’s are a bit more burnt in but i can tell the Pb one are bit more airy and with better decay than the rah’s, waiting for halcyon and edp... they are stuck in customs... you know how it is here... mexpost

Thanks Alex! You own a lot of iems from IMR, Bob should send you the iems using DHL... which 4.4 adapter are you using for them?? Or do you have a 4.4 cable?

I've just connected my WM1A to a computer and on disconnecting a folder called MUSICCLIP has been added to my SD Card and internal memory (they have no songs in them). I deleted these, but they were still there after disconnecting again.

Does anyone know what these are for? Or how I can get rid of them?

TIA

The MUSICCLIP folder appears when using the J region. Only changing the region will make them not appear anymore (after you'll delete them).

This is an opinion, but I think Sony should focus on improving S-Master power output while keeping current battery performance and Walkman form factor. 1 to 2 watts at 32 Ohms would be great.

Interesting thing, the SA-Z1 audio driver works with the WM1A. However, I still couldn't manage to lower the latency (the audio delay).

Thanks, I just changed over to J region. What's the purpose of the MUSICCLIP folders?
It's to allow the playback of the sound in music videos. AFAIK no one have been able to get it to work.

More output power will mean less battery life between charges. It is a trade off. Of course, a larger battery and more power could give the same amount of time.
