Sony Signature Series NW-WM1A 128GB Walkman Digital Music Player, Black

I am happy that I chose to purchase the Sony music player over a Apple ipod. The sound quality is so much better, it is more natural with greater clarity and has a lot more depth in the bass.

If you purchase a EU version then you don't get the high gain option which means that it can't drive some headphones at any useful volume. Apart from that it's great.

Definitely worth the price for the superior sound quality, excellent features, fabulous build and ease of use. It looks, feels and plays as you would expect of a high end audio player, can definitely recommend.

This player was my first dive into the world of DAPs, and I must say that my audio experience has been incredible. I find that I am rediscovering music all over again.

This is a lovely walkman with a great feel in the hand. Paired with decent headphones, the sound is fantastic. It's easy to use, although it helps if you're disciplined about organising and tagging your music files. However, why can't such an expensive item display the artwork for .wav or .aiff files? It's crazy.

I am using Beyer Dynamic T1 (3rd generation) headphones with my WM1AM2. These headphones are open back with a nominal impedance of 32 ohms and a nominal sound pressure level of 100 dB at 1mW. I am listening in a quiet indoors setting. The power output of the device matches these headphones very well, typically I am listening at between 70 to 90 (max 120) on the device?s volume scale. The clarity of the sound is extraordinary; I am quite literally hearing new things in pieces of music I already know well. I am mostly streaming at HD or Ultra HD quality. Dolby Atmos works well; the 360 less well (I don?t think my headphones are designed with this format in mind). I have not explored all the various signal processing filters like DSD et al. The device is reassuringly heavy and the screen big enough to interact with effectively. In summary the sound quality is exceptional and the volume levels are great with my headphones.

I am not an experienced audiophile and was looking for a product I could use from a trusted brand. This ticked all the boxes and has the added benefits of Android software and streaming capability with 4.4 and 3.5 jacks! Love it.

Although there is an initial firmware update, which I have downloaded, oh my, has Sony got some work to do! It feels like bad beta software. Laggy. Crashes often. Processor can't seem to handle Android 11. I have tried downloading offline content on Tidal. Very slow or just crashes. No such issues with other DAPs, with the same version of Tidal. Everyone talks about the volume cap and I thought, oh, it can't be as bad as people are saying. Well it is! Full volume, using quite efficient headphones that are designed for mobile use, is really low. And I mean "really" low. I was stunned. Slightly better with earphones. All in all, a big disappointment. But Sony can improve performance with some very quick and significant firmware upgrades. They should have the resources to do this. But the volume cap (that, by the way, doesn't seem to affect Son'y's competitors)? I'm assuming that's not fixable.

So far I am very happy. The sound is absolutely amazing.
