I saved all the firmware updated files when I downloaded them. So if I didn’t like the firmware updates I can go back to it. So far I like the 3.02 update very much.

I noticed that in balanced 4.4mm it has less output compared to the SE it has more output. In fact the SE sounds better than the balanced 4.4mm with my Sony MDRZ1R. I use the MDR-1A2 Cheaper Sony Headphone. Has anyone else noticed the difference. This is paired with Sony WM1Z.

I agree I love how my 1z sounds with new update, No EQ needed, sounds fantastic with my Sony WM-1A2 Headphones. The music needs to be well recorded CDs & remastered CDs so it can sound great. It suits any genre. Sometimes the volume does need to be turned up if it’s recorded in low volume. But...

Yes I did read the impressions. I’ve updated mine, and I do like the latest firmware update 3.02 on direct source as you don’t need to use EQ. Sony nailed it, it has an very wide soundstage, 3D Sound, better instrument seperation, Surround Sound, the vocals are more forward. Just make sure the...

I already know how to update firmware but I need to charge my Sony WM1Z first. I was asking if anyone else did to report back and write their impressions. Thanks

Sony Has Updated Firmware for the WM1Z and WM1A 3.02. Please update and let me know if think it has changed the SQ. They’ve added more features.

Sony WM1Z doesn’t use 4497 usually Sony make their own dac. It’s the Sony DP1 the transportable more expensive version uses 4497.

Yes I have it uses more battery power

I use the 5A 2 or 2.1 USB amp to charge my WM1Z. You can also use an iPad charger or Samsung USB charger as well.

I have the V3 & V5 is truly portable & small, it has an very black background it’s worth buying.

I was asking you about your review about Plenue L as you compared it to Sony WM1Z as you mentioned hissing. So it’s not off topic at all as I read your review. No I don’t wish to discuss my IEMS as I only own a few. Many IEMS don’t fit my ears. I mainly listen to my Daps with headphones.

I don’t play my music at high volume. It’s set at low gain for some IEMS I own. I’m surprised there some hissing, is that only in between tracks when silence in between tracks you can hear it hiss.

I suppose your right they could have called it. P3. I read your review, as your reviews are honest. I just want to ask you, did you compare the Sony WM1Z with the latest firmware update 3.01 as it has an wider Soundstage & more Output. I didn’t report any hiss on Sony WM1Z with IEMS as I have...

I’d be interested to read your review is always honest. I suppose they called it Plenue L as they are going through the letters of the alphabet

Not many reviews to read on this Cowon Plenue L on internet, nor not many impressions to read on this thread either. Has anyone compared the SQ to the Sony WM1Z & SP1000 or Ak SP1000m brass gold version.
