Sony Walkman WM1AM2 - Black

Description

The Sony Walkman NW-WM1AM2 delivers exceptional sound through superior construction and electronics. The player features an advanced digital-to-analog converter that decodes high-resolution format files in their native resolution. The result is a richly detailed, spacious sound that is better than a CD.
 

Aluminum frame

An aluminum alloy frame provides a highly rigid case that's 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.

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.

Extraordinary sound begins with exceptional components

In their quest to achieve the best possible sound quality on the WM1AM2, they've upgraded a number of components. They've also worked tirelessly to optimize the layout of the various parts - another crucial factor in realizing high quality sound.

Crystal oscillators

Two compact low-phase-noise crystal oscillators ensure precision clock stability at sampling rate multiples of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. The crystal electrode piece is formed with gold vapor deposition for enhanced electric characteristics and improved instrumental separation. This helps remove a veil and reduce noise to realize clear, open sound reproduction.

Balanced connection

The Walkman features a balanced single plug, designed for the Ø4.4 mm balanced connection cable. This separates left and right sound signals, while minimizing signal transmission loss and resulting sound deterioration.
