The Continuation Of The Sony Walkman 1Z/1A Thread!

this particular model is not listed on the homepage anymore
Yeah I don’t think it’s available anymore, I ended up ordering an all in one solution, DD Hifi C2020 which pretty much holds everything in my collection.
It is on the bigger side so I might get a DD Hifi C2021 G Portable in the future just to carry 1A and an iem while traveling.

Pulled the trigger on a WM1A, might as well have both versions. Couldn’t resist the deal!

I see that listing describes the 1A having 64GB onboard storage. Was there a Japan-only or Asia-only version with half the storage vs the units many of us have with 128GB onboard?

It's the 128GB version with a 64GB sd card, the system info screen shows the built in storage at 128GB :)

Too bad, I could sell you cheaper
That's too bad, I didn't see your listing on the Classifieds. There aren't many for sale on HF currently, they tend to go pretty quick! Hopefully someone can score a good deal on your unit and begin a wonderful Walkman journey.

One thing I do really love about the 1Z is that it is still relevant today. Streaming via a Samsung S21. With a more modern SoftEars Turii Ti LE IEM. Great synergy. :)

I am waiting for sound comparisons with Gen 2 Sonys.

Indeed. Over here in Asia, it will be in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to that. :)

I know it's kinda late to ask this but would anyone be willing to sell or know where I can find a Musashino Label or DIGNIS case for my WM1Z? I was looking for a Musashino case a while ago for my WM1A but gave up as I couldn't really find any being sold on Japanese market places nor on eBay in the US. I know it might be impossible at this point considering how old these players are now, but I thought I'd ask just in case... Any replies are appreciated thanks!

I own a WM1A that I've been outputting to my DAC using the headphone jack for over a year. I finally broke down and bought a WMC-NWH10 cable to plug into the port on the bottom and then use a USB cable I already have to go from that to the DAC. Only problem being I'm not getting a signal to the DAC. Is there a setting on the WMIA I need to change to output a signal from that port since it is normally used for charging? All I know is that when I plug everything in and play a song on the WM1A my DAC when in the "USB" input mode says "silent" which means it isn't getting a signal. I know the USB cable is fine as I use it with my laptop and the WNMIA is fine since using the headphone jack to output works fine. Thinking there is maybe a setting to cvhange that lower jack to output? Thanks!
