  • Discover the functional beauty of oxygen-free copper

    The NW-WM1Z is fully encased in a high-grade gold-plated oxygen-free copper chassis. Widely used in instrument manufacturing, the copper lends the player its unique natural, acoustic sound. Its conductivity and raw strength reinforce the Walkman® with unrivalled audio performance.

  • Faithful sound reproduction

    The new S-Master™ HX digital amp technology, independently developed for Walkman®, has evolved to be compatible with Native DSD, Balanced and high output power formats. It reduces distortion and noise across a wide range of frequencies for rich, full-bodied sound.

  • Advanced cable design with KIMBER KABLE®

    The NW-WM1Z is the world’s first digital music player to feature 4-wire braided cable wiring engineered with KIMBER KABLE® from the amp to the headphone jack. The wiring is handcrafted to seamlessly handle high power and deliver ultimate sound performance.

  • Lose nothing in translation

    The NW-WM1Z supports native DSD (Direct Stream Digital) audio files, which are sourced early in the production process. This means they retain all the authentic detail of the original recording. The NW-WM1Z also supports other major audio formats, including Linear PCM, FLAC, WAV, MP3 and more.

  • Balanced Audio Output

    The NW-WM1Z features a balanced single plug, designed for the new ø0.17" balanced connection cable. This separates left and right sound signals, while minimizing signal transmission loss and resulting sound deterioration.

DSEE HX upscaling technology uses an algorithm to analyze your music and replace any lost audio fidelity, so that the quality is almost high-resolution level.
