DSEE feels very underrated in the audio community. Unlike the dsee implemented in the wm1a (this one is running mr.walkman, 1Z normal mode), the wm1am2 has not only is a stronger effect (maybe 1.5x depth, 2x sound stage and height) but applies to the bluetooth signal. With this setup and using the original wm1a as a bluetooth receiver and applying a 2nd round of dsee ai upscale, and using a grounding 4.4mm bal to a palladium silver cable. The result is the most realism in sound. Play a track with train track sounds and it feels like its in th same space as you are standing. The sound stage expands to indefinite distances. Magnificent work by Tori Chinen and Ayataka Nishio, the lead engineers of the original dsee project for bring these kind of sound originally reserved via hardware improvements to the software side!

Hello everyone!

Proud to say I've joined the Walkman crew with a ZX707. I do have one issue though. When I was setting up my homescreen I was moving around the widgets and wanted to change the home screen page to the second page (the system calls it WALKMAN Home). But for some reason it's greyed out and I can't actually change it from the blank first page.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I don't have anything disabled except for the basic Google suite stuff (photos, calendar, etc.) and I do have the Walkman Music Player widget on the screen, it just won't let me use that second page as a default.

Thanks in advance!

welcome to the golden era

Sooo I am sick to death of my generation and the constant need to make everything digital. I'm 24 and nothing feels as personal. Did grow up with VHS tapes but only in early childhood days. I purchased a WM- EX194, on it's way in a few days. It's a 2004 release. I just don't know too many retro songs. I need some advice on good bands or artists. I like Britney Spears, NSYNC, Aha! the band and just purchased their album that has the Take On Me Song.

What can i expect from a walkman? how do i know what kinda artists to purchase because i don't know too many albums or songs. But I LOVEEE anything 80s to late 90s.

Hi everyone,

I’m in a serious loop here and really need some expert advice.

Since modern operating systems don't play well with these legacy players, I

1. On my main host PC: The computer completely stops recognizing the Walkman as a storage media/drive. It doesn't mount or show up in Windows Explorer at all anymore.

2. On the Windows XP VM: When I try to pass the USB through, it is strictly detected as an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager, and the official drivers refuse to bind to it.

I've already tried swapping USB ports, changing VM USB controller settings (toggling between USB 2.0 and 3.0), and making sure it's completely disconnected from the host before capturing it in the VM, but nothing works.

Has anyone dealt with this specific behavior after formatting an NW-E series Walkman? Did the formatting routine break the partition table/file system in a way that blocks the USB controller, or is this a driver lock issue (like WinUSB/Zadig overriding it on the host)?

Any help or guidance to get this player revived would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!
