Strong Power Supply
The WM1AM2 music player s power supply is comprised of a host of components that deliver more power than the previous version in both the analog and digital block.
- Large Solid High Polymer Capacitor: Can instantly supply large amounts of power to prevent falls in voltage, helping produce clear vocals and powerful bass
- FT CAP3 (High Polymer Capacitor): Helps deliver smooth sound, a wider soundstage, more transparency, and tighter bass
- OFC Milled Bloc: Covers the digital block to increase digital ground and provide noise shielding to ensure a clearer sound
- High Polymer Capacitors: Enhances bass and provides an expansive listening experience by strengthening the power supply of the amp block
- Film Capacitors: Reduces distortion and noise by delivering voltage with a linear response across frequencies
- Low Wear Malleability: During long listening, the thin and highly rigid aluminum hanger and slider provide additional comfort
High-Quality Audio Components
Inside the WM1AM2, Sony equipped the player with a variety of high-quality components to ensure that it plays back the best quality audio possible.
- Oxygen-Free Copper Cable: Low-resistance cable that offers low distortion and improved channel separation
- Two Crystal Oscillators: Clear, open sound with improved instrument separation at sampling rate multiples of 44.1 and 48 kHz
- Fine Sound Register: Enables consistent sound quality by ensuring even power distribution
- Reflow Solder with Gold: Gold s conductivity helps to minimize signal loss, improve sound localization, and expand the sound space
- Low Dielectric Circuit Board and Filled Via Holes: This combination allows for accurate signal transmission and clean, bright sound
- Optimized Circuit Board Layout: Digital interference is kept at a minimum by separating the audio block from the power/digital block
Audiophile-Grade Sound Processing
- DSD Remastering Engine: Provides analog character to your music by resampling PCM audio to an 11.2 MHz DSD 1-bit stream
- DSEE Ultimate: Uses Edge-AI to upscale compressed music in real time, and restores acoustic detail and dynamic range to CD-quality lossless codec audio
- Vinyl Processor: Add the warmth of vinyl into digital files by reproducing low-frequency resonance, tone-arm resistance, and surface noise
- DC Phase Linearizer: Six phase character settings replicate the sonic signatures of various types of analog amplifiers for a purer, analog-like sound
- Hi-Res Audio: The Walkman can play back audio files at 24-bit/96 kHz and beyond to hear music closer to the original recording
- DSD (Direct Stream Digital): 11.2 MHz DSD native audio and support for 384 kHz/32-bit PCM audio
- Hi-Res Audio Wireless/LDAC: Using LDAC, you can enjoy Hi-Res Audio quality wirelessly via Bluetooth
Twin Headphone Jacks
The Walkman WM1AM2 provides two headphone jacks. One is a 3.5mm stereo mini jack, and the other is a 4.4mm balanced connection to separate the left and right signals, while minimizing signal transmission loss and sound degradation.
Volume UI
A 120-step volume adjustment is available digitally with an analog twist. The volume UI displays an analog dial onscreen that you can tap and " twist" to adjust the volume.
Additional Features
- Support for MQA file playback
- Durable aluminum alloy body for less noise and interference
