Thanks, I have that one which is for the stock configurations, I was wanting to see one for the more recent Walkman One firmwares.There is a guide for the regions, but for combos .... I don't know.

It appears that I was the first one to share this chart on the threads. Mindstorms had shared with me in a message, and at that time I was a new owner of a WM1A, and new to the threads, and assumed that the chart was well known and that he was just kindly bringing to my attention. As English isn't his first language I hadn't understood from his wording in his brief message that I wasn't actually supposed to share. I appreciate him personally sharing with me, and I don't know why he didn't want to share this valuable guide on the thread himself, perhaps he hadn't finished it yet, but I'm just officially putting out my apology here to him:
Apologies @Mindstorms, outstanding work, much appreciated time and efforts, this is a valuable guide for any Walkman owner.

I don't know why sony daps have such low gain. I guess it's to increase battery life or something.. They don't have nearly enough volume for some of my hard to drive iems.I've never been so IMpatient! this gain mod is seriously next level, it covers the biggest weakness of the sony daps

not for long it seems?Limitation of the S-Master digital amp in a Walkman-size device.
No, still the same limitation, but MrWalkman has somehow managed to unlock Sony's failsafe. Be aware that doubling the volume increases heat and greatly shortens battery life. No such thing as a free lunch.not for long it seems?

That's fine with me, nayparm is there to mod the battery for that now this dap will have a normal battery life instead of 20 hours hahaNo, still the same limitation, but MrWalkman has somehow managed to unlock Sony's failsafe.
