So trying out and downloading different firmware, I notice that each fw download stores in a separate folder on the Walkman. Is it ok to just delete these folders if you're not using that particular FW mod? I've just been downloading to the Walkman's root directory. Is that the correct method? It's definitely changing the sound signature with each download. Thanks for the input!

Do it. It takes the player to another level.Hello everyone! I recently got a sony wm1a and am really tempted to try the cable mod. But first step would be to get a soldering iron. For now, still hanging tight in the safe heaven.
No downside whatsoever.

same here, mojave user tooThanks but unfortunately they don’t work. There’s this error message that appears: Update will be terminated because the firmware data has collapsed. Redownload the program. Error code: -60002.

So, lady and gentleman. I have joined the Team of the dark side and had been experimenting a whole night.... but I believe I had composed some neat Theories as of how and why these things do what it does.

If anyone of you care about this. I composed a version that is the closest to DMP Z1. Download it before I take it down
The name is what it says. This is original and most “Flat in respond or closest to Sony intentions”. I also have other versions and the theories I have composed seem to have tanked through all of the different versions by far

Wow has anyone tried the new FUN version? its like a huge Hall! cathederal! Ists like having further more when you enable low A + strings its add even more FUN (awesome hall reverbs right? Impresibve add on! please keep this going!! Awesome work! Insane reverbs everywhere! electronic music sounds like in a catrhederal! Bass its very impresive too!!! I was esceptical at first but i can confirm this is a feraking awesome FW add on should be named Hall or cathederal it will ve awesome to edit this one and remove the reverb and make a club 2.0 with the same staging and tight bass but very absorbing and dampening materials lol so the reverb will be very short! im-pre-sive!

OK just installed "Ultimate 1.01" using the DMG that was uploaded with no issues on a Hackintosh and a Mac mini running Mojave 10.14.6.Thanks! Will be anxiously waiting here![]()
On my MacBookPro 16" running Catalina 10.15.3 the installer isn't seeing my WM1A using the Sony Cable nor the WM1Z using the Sony Dock.
