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

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

  • 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

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.

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.

  • Support for MQA file playback
  • Durable aluminum alloy body for less noise and interference
  • Support for Sony 360 Reality Audio
  • Eco-friendly packaging is plastic-free

Headline says it - and this is true even while using the custom firmware by Mr. Walkman in the original (AM[1]).
HOWEVER to use as a player only a lot of android de-bloating needs to occur. This is how I use it to play my files from a micro-sd card.
On the other hand you can likely use this one device as the center of a great system, including streaming, purchasing, downloading, if you want to take advantage of what android CAN do for you.
A fine upgrade.

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.

This is an outstanding portable music player. Plays compressed as well as higher fidelity music files. I added a 512 G microSD and now have tremendous storage capability. I use it with headphones and pipe directly or via bluetooth through my Klipsch One Plus speaker.

I like a simple, dedicated, mp3 player.
This model is just that.
Easy to load music.
It's a good product for the money.

I loved my old WM1A, and I'm glad Sony kept the perfect physical shape while fixed almost all the pain points. No more Sony proprietary charging cable, better streaming support, slightly better battery life (when listening offline).

My only wish that Sony trim down the Android system a bit more.

My current Sony 8 GB NW-E394 mp3 player replaced my former Sony 8 GB NW-E393 mp3 player that lasted me for several years until I accidentally partially immersed it in water while exercising in a hotel pool & trying to keep my mp3 player protected in a Ziplock bag. I can't tell you how many times, over the years, I dropped my old Sony E393 mp3 player that thankfully still worked even after being dropped. My Sony E393 mp3 player even worked after getting a little bit wet from rain. I've found this series of Sony mp3 players to be quite durable & even able to get a little bit wet without completely breaking. Sound quality is the most important feature for me in any mp3 player I purchase. Over the decades, I've tried other brands of mp3 players that had horrible sound quality vs. the amazing sound quality in this series of Sony mp3 players. If I'm ever in need of a replacement mp3 player, I will definitely again purchase this same Sony brand of mp3 player I currently own and love.

I bought this to listen to my Apple Music Library. Setting it up was very easy. I wish that Sony comes out with videos on how to use it. It took me a while to play around with it. Good solid product. I don't have to get an additional streamer, dac or headphone amplifier. Highly recommended.
