Don´t buy in Europe! This DAP has volume cap. Unusable. :-(

[@add-to-carttherapy]

Why is that so? Is that a law in Europe that regulates volume cap?

[@TheMbhvisby]

@@add-to-carttherapy yes there is a volume cap in the eu but it was easy to remove on the older edition of this Walkman with a simple tool, I don’t know if they have developed a similar tool for this model.

I love Sony Walkman since the cassette and the CD days! the design is sleek and formal at the same time. never had problems with it being kinda bulky since i like how it feels inside my jeans pockets. 5star oj the batt capacity, very ideal for long flights. definitely a must buy for music lovers like me! btw, love the voice pare. soothing. Next product please!

[@JSSBBB]

Thank you for this excellent, complete and articulate review. Truly outstanding. I appreciate your work and effort. I have been very seriously considering the new astell&kern max. It’s at the same price point and is an excellent player with really powerful output. What steers me to the Sony(just in time) is the “warm” sound signature. Many players are too “bright” or neutral/flat sounding. I also really like the solid build quality of this player. I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you so much for this review and “bravo!!” to you!!

The best walkman, I love it. ☆☆☆☆☆

[@add-to-carttherapy]

Agree with you 💯 %

[@gilbs72]

I wish Sony maintained a variant that exclusively uses the old Sony firmware. I'm easily bothered by fast obsolescence of Android versions. Otherwise will just stick with my old WM1A. For Spotify streaming, I just use LDAC from my mobile phone (not much to be missed from streaming audio quality).

[@add-to-carttherapy]

Even though the android software becomes not upgradable, you can still listen to music with the stored mucus files just like their old version.

[@gilbs72]

@@add-to-carttherapy I don't know why, but it bothers me. I've tried using old Android phones and they're noticeably sluggish, maybe because can compare it with newer ones. Whereas, I still have a working iPod Classic and I'm not bothered even though it's just as old. It's probably also because Android, iOS, Windows prepares you psychologically to keep upgrading (Marketing).

[@add-to-carttherapy]

I get you point. For this device. The pathway for sound is different when you are using the Sony Walkman app (stored music) versus using the streaming services (Apple music, Spotify, etc) via android OS.

[@gilbs72]

@@add-to-carttherapy Either pathway, I believe it is digital (just 1's and 0's) before the DAC chip. Then they are played in analog from the same DAC, with the same result. It's the fact that most streaming are lossy and/or compressed that differs.

[@gilbs72]

Oh! I get your point now. You were referring to the way the firmware is loaded. I agree. Someday the old Android version will be too old to run current streaming apps (like unwanted appendage). I do wish there is an option to flash the Sony firmware exclusively (perhaps similar to the way we flash MrWalkman firmware).

Is there by any chance you tried their new releases NW ZX707? If yes is the sound quality almost similar to the WM1AM2 ? Im torn to decided between these two brick

[@add-to-carttherapy]

The AM2 still sounds better in my opinion but not by a huge margin. Maybe 5 to 10% at max only. The overall UI is quite faster and smoother which gives me a better overall user experience.

[@tecunumantonatiu4484]

Great Tutorial. Does the battery really last 40 hrs ? Because mine it’s not going that far ! I had it for one day and it’s just giving me 18 hrs max. (Not internet usage) I bought it a through Amazon. $1400, plus. Should I returned ??

[@add-to-carttherapy]

I think your doing good. There are many factors that affect battery drainage. Volume, how efficient your IEMs/HP is, the quality of music file, screen brightness, how often you change music because it will activate the screen etc.

Has anyone managed to buy the WM1AM2 in Japan as these are hard to get here? I ordered directly at the Sony Store Ginza, Tokyo, but Sony will have to ship it to me when it becomes available. It said shipments are expected around early July, but today it now says late August. 😫 I want to get ahold of mine so badly and listen with the MDR-Z1R.

[@add-to-carttherapy]

It seems that Sony new Walkman series was a big hit in Japan. The good brick was out of stock as well here in our country but you can find the black brick still here in PH. Maybe you can try Sony PH website or Amazon international.

[@jaysoninalisan4368]

[@supermasterPIK]

Some questions since I would keep it for many years: Once battery dies (many years later) id there an available replacement? It's not removable? 2. Screen protector and protective case / carrying case? Available from other manufacturer ?

[@add-to-carttherapy]

1. To replace the battery, you may contact the Sony service center. 2. Yes, it is available from other 3rd party manufacturer. Sony also sells their own protective case.

[@tribalart88]

So is it best to upload audio files to the built in Walkman app rather the use streaming apps. Will this be better for high resolution quality audio?

[@add-to-carttherapy]

Yes. If you can buy hi res audio files and store it to your Walkman it would be better for your battery in general. I usually buy mine at HDtracks. This is not sponsored.

[@Len_M.]

If you have a Sony NZ-WM1A is it worth selling and getting either of the 2 new players?

[@add-to-carttherapy]

100% yes…

[@fzr1000981]

Not for sound quality

[@gwapster13]

Its younger sibling, the ZX507 has a great form factor which is IMHO the sweet spot in pocketable high-quality players. Now is the improvement in sound quality of this (much bigger) flagship enough to justify the added bulk (and double the cost)?

[@add-to-carttherapy]

I don’t have the ZX507 l, but I do owned the WM1A. It is safe to say that the NW-WM1AM2 is far better than it’s predecessor in so many ways. The price increase from its predecessor is truly justifiable. Better UI, better sound, better battery life, better screen, and now has a support to streaming services are some of the notable improvements over the older model.

[@gwapster13]

@@add-to-carttherapy Nice. The ZX507 being Android too, has all those convenience features that I need. Only problem with the small form factor is of course the smaller battery. But it does drive my Sony IER-M7, Focal Radiance, and a couple of Sennheisers pretty well. The system-wide EQ is great, so it can drive my HD800 pretty well, too, but the 300-ohm headphone drains battery really fast as expected.

[@add-to-carttherapy]

Agree with you. I usually use my DAP for my IEM most of the time. I like to use my headphones on a full size DAC/AMP.

I haven’t tried to use the Walkman as a source only. I do think that you can use an external AMP to boost the volume of your HP.
