Files can be transferred via a fast USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 1 wired connection or wirelessly from your music library over Wi-Fi. Files can easily be stored within the Walkman's 256GB of internal memory, or on optional microSD memory cards. With the Wi-Fi connection you can also choose to use the built-in Android 11 OS to access a wide variety of streaming apps and services. All of your audio playback is conveniently controlled via the WM1ZM2 Walkman's 5" touchscreen display with customizable Walkman Home Screen.

Strong Power Supply
The WM1ZM2 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 Block: 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
  • Winding Inductors: Winding inductors replace a traditional laminated capacitor in the digital block to allow for a purer sound
High-Quality Audio Components
Inside the WM1ZM2, Sony equipped the player with a variety of high-quality components to ensure that it plays back the best quality audio possible.

  • Kimber Kable: Thick Kimber Kable has been used from the amp base to the balanced headphone jack, achieving powerful and smooth sound quality
  • 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
Audiophile-Grade Sound Processing
  • 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
Twin Headphone Jacks
The Walkman WM1ZM2 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.
Volume UI
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.
Additional Features
  • Support for MQA file playback
  • Gold-plated 99.99% pure OFC (oxygen-free copper) body for high rigidity and improved sound
  • Support for Sony 360 Reality Audio
  • Eco-friendly packaging is plastic-free
