I using the S series too with Fiio LOD for walkman...

As I know all sony walkman using same connector....

never try A series.

last question, if use this connector, that mean the signal will pass through the external dac, will not go through the internal dac ady!is it right? so the sound quality is depend on the external dac, not walkman dac la! smile.gif

It will bypass the internal amp only, not the internal dac..

Internal dac still need to use to convert digital to analog signal.

Line out is analog not digital.

that mean it also will pass through both internal dac and amp!then if connect the external dac/ amp,it also will through again? after connect external dac, so the sound volume is adjust by walkman itself or external dac?

you might not know how things work...

In walkman flow
song --> internal DAC (convert digital to analog) --> internal amp (with volume adjustments)--> headphone

by using line out cable
song --> internal DAC (convert digital to analog) --> line out (no volume can be adjust) --> your external amp (with volume adjustments)--> headphone

You cannot use external DAC with walkman.

so adjust volume is use the walkman itself,not external dac/amp right? thz u for ur clear explanation!

If use line out, volume on walkman is disabled...  you need to adjust on your external amp.

You cannot use external DAC with walkman, only external AMP.

get it! thz for ur patient explanation. sorry for any inconvenience! how much for the fiio l5?

is it any different btw sony a series and s series walkman, go through online, some ppl said that a series using the better dac than s series? is it any different on sound quality? i will use the line out, so i think the s master amp is useless for me, so ignore it! is s master amp will improve the sound quality?
