Users say:
The Sony WM1AM2 is a great portable music player with excellent sound quality and a balanced streaming jack. It is compatible with Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal, and is a great choice for those looking for a dedicated music player. It is also small and lightweight, making it easy to carry around. However, the Android 11 OS is not the fastest, and the SD card tray is plastic.

Aluminium frame An aluminium alloy frame provides a highly rigid case thats resistive to electrical noise and other interference for stable, high quality sound. Faithful sound reproduction S-Master™ HX digital amp technology, independently developed for Walkman®, is compatible with the Native DSD format, and supports balanced and high power output. It reduces distortion and noise across a wide range of frequencies, for rich and full-bodied sound, further enhanced by new high quality sound lead-free solder. An even stronger power supply The WM1AM2 boasts an even stronger power supply than its predecessor, not only in the analog block but also in the digital block - an idea inspired by our flagship digital music player, the DMP-Z1. Large solid high polymer capacitor Adopted as battery assist for the amplifier block, the newly developed large solid high polymer capacitor offers large capacitance and low resistance. Able to instantaneously supply large amounts of power, it can accurately output signals by preventing sudden falls in voltage. This contributes to clear, powerful and accurate bass sound, as well as clear vocals. FT CAP3 (High polymer capacitor) Custom-made for Sony and tuned by Sony engineers, FT CAP3 is adopted for all bypass capacitors in the audio block power supply. Drawing on know-how cultivated in high-end home audio development, it has helped to improve sound expression and create a smoother sound, with a wider sound space, more transparency, and tighter bass. OFC milled block An OFC milled block covers the digital block, helping both to strengthen digital ground and improve noise shielding from digital block elements such as the application processor and memory devices. The result is a clearer sound that appears to rise up from silence. High polymer capacitors The high polymer capacitors within the WM1AM2 are used to strengthen the power supply of the amp block for unbalanced output, enhancing low-range reproduction performance for a more expansive listening experience. Film capacitors High quality film capacitors deliver voltage with a linear response across frequencies, resulting in reduced distortion and noise. Winding inductors Replacing the conventional laminated capacitor, winding inductors in the digital block power supply contribute to a pure sound. Oxygen-free copper cable A low-resistance oxygen-free copper (OFC) cable offers low distortion and superior channel separation. Crystal oscillators Two compact low-phase-noise crystal oscillators ensure precision clock stability at sampling rate multiples of 44.1kHz and 48kHz. The crystal electrode piece is formed with gold vapour deposition
