High-End Components
Built with premium audio components throughout, the WM1AM3 is engineered to reveal greater clarity, depth, and detail in every track.
Unique Sound Processing
Sony’s advanced sound processing gives you more ways to experience music, from faithful high-resolution playback to tailored analog-inspired sound.
Premium Design
Featuring high-quality materials and thoughtful design touches, the WM1AM3 has a refined look and feel that matches its exceptional performance.
Aluminum Milled Main Chassis & OFC Rear Chassis
The rigid, milled aluminum-alloy frame combines with a new press-formed and direct gold-plated OFC rear chassis. Together they provide a foundation for stable, premium-quality sound and resistance to noise and interference.
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. An advanced look-ahead noise shaper improves D/A conversion performance.
Advanced Power Supply
Large solid high polymer capacitors provide the power reserves needed to respond to sudden changes in power demand. Dedicated capacitors for the digital and audio sections help minimize the impact of digital circuitry noise.
Premium Audio Components
A high-current power IC ensures stable power supply. Custom-made FT CAP3 capacitors help create smoother sound, while high-quality film capacitors reduce distortion and noise.
Oxygen-Free Copper Wiring
Hand-soldered OFC cables ensure a cleaner power path, minimizing circuit board noise. Low-resistance oxygen-free copper wiring offers low distortion and superior channel separation.
OFC Milled Block
An OFC milled block covers the digital block, helping to strengthen digital ground and improve noise shielding from components such as the application processor and memory devices.
OFC Large Coil for Balanced Output
A high-purity 4N copper coil with flat conductive wire helps reduce distortion and resistance, improving sound resolution across frequencies.
Crystal Oscillators
Two compact low-phase-noise crystal oscillators ensure precision clock stability at sampling-rate multiples of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
Gold-Enhanced Soldering
The WM1AM3 uses reflow solder containing gold across the circuit board to improve sound localization. Audio-grade lead-free solder containing gold connects the circuit to the battery.
Optimized Circuit Board Design
The 10-layer low dielectric circuit board features copper-filled vias to reduce impedance. Separate audio and power/digital blocks help minimize digital interference.
Balanced Connection
The WM1AM3 features a balanced plug designed for the 4.4 mm balanced connection cable. This separates left and right sound signals while minimizing signal transmission loss.
DSD Remastering Engine
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) audio is resampled into an 11.2 MHz DSD (Direct Stream Digital) ultra-high-frequency 1-bit audio stream. DSD Remastering is available for Wi-Fi® streamed or downloaded music.
DSEE Ultimate
Using Edge-AI (Artificial Intelligence), DSEE Ultimate™ (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) upscales compressed digital music files in real time. It restores acoustic subtleties and dynamic range and supports compatible wireless headphones.
Vinyl Processor
Give the warmth and character of vinyl back to your digital tracks. Enjoy subtle reproduction of low-frequency resonance, tonearm resistance, and surface noise for an authentic listening experience.
DC Phase Linearizer
Sony's DC Phase Linearizer uses digital signal processing to match the phase characteristics of various analog amplifiers, delivering a more analog-like sound with six selectable phase-character settings.
High-Resolution Audio
High-Resolution Audio allows you to get closer to the original studio recording. The WM1AM3 supports 11.2MHz Native DSD playback with balanced headphones and PCM 384kHz/32-bit audio.
Hi-Res Audio Wireless
Enjoy High-Resolution Audio quality without wires thanks to LDAC, Sony's premium wireless codec. Bluetooth® also supports aptX™ Adaptive audio for wireless listening.
360 Reality Audio
Immerse yourself in sound all around you. With 360 Reality Audio, music has never been so immersive and so real. The WM1AM3 lets you enjoy 360 Reality Audio.
Long Battery Life
With the improved battery life, you can stream tracks for longer. Or lose yourself completely in pure quality, with up to 33 hours of 96kHz FLAC High-Resolution Audio playback.
Larger Customizable 5.5" Screen
The larger 5.5-inch screen is smooth and responsive, and the dedicated physical controls improve usability. The Walkman® Home Screen interface can be customized to suit your needs.
USB Type-C® Port
A USB Type-C® port, compatible with USB 3.2 Gen1, offers fast music file transfer and easy connectivity with a range of devices.
Expandable Storage
With 128 GB integrated memory and an SD card slot, the NW-WM1AM3 lets you take even the biggest music collections on the go.
Intuitive And Comfortable Design
The intuitive side keys ensure stress-free operation. The WM1AM3 also offers a comfortable grip that fits naturally in your hand.
Cassette Tape UI
The WM1AM3 features a special cassette tape user interface and screensaver. The cassette tape visual varies depending on the codec of the music you’re listening to.
Wi-Fi Streaming & Downloading
Supported by Android™ and compatible with Wi-Fi, the WM1AM3 lets you enjoy streaming and music apps or connect to a PC to download tracks and playlists.
Sustainability In Mind
No plastic is used in the packaging material for the WM1AM3, reflecting Sony’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its products and practices.
Accessibility
Sony incorporates human-centric, inclusive design into its audio products to deliver its Kando experience to users, regardless of age, ability or environment.
