Since you are worried about connector life and its longevity so I would advise you to not use Code 23 cable.- kumar402

If you haven’t sent them yet then continue using them for 2-3 weeks. It gets better and fits magically after 14-15 days- kumar402

:) I guess this is 100th time you have asked the same question…. Yes, 2 pin connectors are fragile by nature and changing cable will weaken it.- kumar402

Code 23 is not an IEM cable. Put too much strain on the connector, is stiff and just spoils the comfort of any IEM.- kumar402

SONY NW-WM1Z M2 / WM1A M2
I guess he has screen ON all the time at 50% brightness with streaming and DSP enabled as well. @DefinitioN. why do you want to keep screen On all the time? You can buy that Fiio Bluetooth remote to switch on and switch off the screen as needed.- kumar402

When I bought my DAC from Sonnet they told me something about the volume control they have implemented where there is a jumper inside to reduce reference voltage by 3 to get -10db attenuation. I can’t find that old email but there is something similar in 6moons...- kumar402

As rule they re-shell only customs to customs but if you request they might do. Drop them an email or reach out via iMessage. They will charge $900 + return shipping- kumar402

I just edited my post…I meant Wi-Fi On and Screen Off will give more than 10 hrs. Only DSD Upsampling and screen usage brings Walkman to last less than 10 hrs.- kumar402

I like warm and smooth sound and I get it from Raphael. Unfortunately I never tried any expensive IEM cable.

You don’t need to pump out 120 out of Walkman. Give it low voltage and let amplifier do its job. Many amplifier work better at unity gain and above.- kumar402
