NW-WM1A
Made for High-Resolution Audio
Enjoy the subtlest nuances of studio-quality sound in higher than CD quality with High-Resolution Audio. Passion for music unites every component from signal to speaker, so it feels like the artist is performing right in front of you. The NW-WM1A Walkman® also supports the very latest 384 kHz / 32-bit rate and DSD Native Playback.
Native DSD
The NW-WM1A supports native DSD audio files, which are sourced early in the production process. This means they retain all the authentic detail of the original recording.
S-Master HX
The new S-Master™ HX digital amp technology, independently developed for Walkman®, cuts distortion and noise across a wide range of frequencies for rich, full bodied sound.
DSEE HX
DSEE HX upscaling technology uses an algorithm to analyse your music and replace any lost information, so that the quality is almost high-resolution level. Choose from 5 modes to bring out the best in your music.
Incorporating the ø4.4mm Balanced Standard Connection
Enjoy clear, precise, dynamic sound with balanced audio. With a new ø4.4mm Balanced Standard Plug, noise picked up from the wire to the amplifier is reduced. The result – superior sound, delivered with clarity.
Premium design for optimal sound quality
Built with an aluminium frame and tailored electrical components, the NW-WM1A Walkman® is designed for high quality, powerful sound.
Aluminium frame
An aluminium alloy frame provides a highly rigid case that’s resistive to electrical noise and other interference for stable, high-quality sound.
Oxygen-free Copper cable
A low-resistance Oxygen-free Copper cable offers low distortion and superior channel separation.
MELF resistors
Reduce noise and minimise distortion in the audio signal path with MELF type resistors.
Streamlined power
The newly developed FT CAP (high polymer capacitor) works to regulate power flow, optimising it for instant, clean power when needed.
Pure sound translation
Our DC Phase Linearizer works to effectively replicate a wide variety of sonic signatures. It applies digital-signal processing to match the phase characteristics of various types of analog amplifier to deliver a purer, more analog-like sound. Choose from six phase character settings.
Capturing every note and nuance with DSEE HX™
Take the concert feeling home and experience your music as the artist intended, in near High-Resolution Audio quality. DSEE HX™ upscaling technology uses an algorithm to analyse your music and replace any lost information, so that the quality is almost high-resolution level. Choose from 4 additional modes to the standard, to bring out the best in your music.

The NW-WM1A is designed to fit in with your everyday lifestyle. With its compact size and lightweight build, it’s easy to grab when you’re in need of some high quality music.
