Hello, I have the same model. I wonder if you can activate LDAC 990 in settings? Whenever the active returns to "best effort" I don't think it is limited by Sony being the same codec. I wonder if there is a solution?

I bought the WM1ZM2, but very begrudgingly had to return it due to the model I had having no gain options. The sound signature is otherworldly, but the lack of power made it impossible to ignore for a device at this price point! The HiBy RS8 has helped me get over the heartbreak of having to return the Sony, and easily beats it for sound signature, and power IMHO.

You will have to go through settings and bypass the internal DAC settings of the Sony NW-WM1-AM2 when you connect it to an external DAC & use it only as a digital transport to play & access your music files

Does it really sound a lot better than Sony WH-1000XM5 which use existing phone (LDAC capable) and can be found for under 300 pounds UK pounds. UK/Europe customers need to be aware this device is hamstrung by severe power/volume limitations, to comply with regulations.

Dap N1

@RD-kv8hm 2 ай бұрын

A question - with dongle dacs being more and more capable why would someone buy a DAP over just using their phone + dongle dac/amp like the M15?

@TheSourceAVDesignGroup 2 ай бұрын

There are several reasons, and I will let others chime in, too. For me, listening around the house or office is a big one. You free yourself from any phone attachment or distraction. You reduce the cables between the phone and the dongle dac which can be annoying for some users, user experience is usually much better with a dedicated DAP vs. A phone.

@RD-kv8hm 2 ай бұрын

Interesting. The biggest barrier that I have with DAPs over a phone is actually the software and user experience. Phones are much more snappy and performant and also already have all my apps so I would think that its more convenient over a DAP. Curious why the UX on a DAP is better than a phone

@chronometa 2 ай бұрын

@@RD-kv8hm you actually should strip the DAP of as many features as possible.

@gerritfridericksohn4627 2 ай бұрын

That's a valid question. Just don't include M-15. A Mojo2 Poly Hotspot to phone works very well. Much better than M15. I prefer Bit Perfect so I don't need extras. Generally speaking. A Dap can just give you more options.

@blitzer25blitz62 21 күн бұрын

somehow i wish Sony could update its Android OS to the latest.. yes I know a DAP don't need much updates as a regular phone do but those streaming apps do need it especially for futureproofing, as Sony don't make new gens of these flagships as frequent as Chinese phone companies.

Here are my thoughts. 1. Soundcap on European Models. 2. Its there for a reason. 3. Everyone i know except a few often women". Most other listen to such high volume its really bad for the hearing. When i listen to a phone with iems with 3.5 i never go above 60%. On my Cayin N3 Ultra i never go above 40% with iems, set to medium gain, and with Sennheiser S660S2 never above 50, and 50 is Loud 🔊 4. They handle Sennheiser S660S2 good, i have to go up to 100/120, and sometimes all the way, 2 steps down to 118 because it levels down the last2 clicks. All my IEMs it can handle with ease. But if you are going to run planars or something ridiculous, that is supposed to be run on a amplifier in the living room you are out of luck. When the tinnitus comes at the age of 37 or 49 or 61 you wont be that happy, and the hearingloss is so severe you become afraid. Hearing loss creeps up on you, and when you have it, its nothing you can do. Take care of your hearing. Its sad though that you cant run everything on them, but its a portable device ment to be on the go, you shouldn't have your living room headphones with you outside, or ridiculously high performance ohm resistor hungry gear on the go. But if you can be fine with focal Celestee or Sennheiser Ie 600 or moondrop Variation this is way to perfect. I never go above 90/120 with my Variations. As an example. And if you really want to. The European model is set to 70% instead of 100%. Download Xbooster and set it to 100%, but you will have to redo it when the warning comes up at times. Also dont go above 100% you will get distortions Second method First update ypur device firmware and software Go to settings~ volume control , there youll find multimedia Value to increase the volume, to avoid the European volume cap.
