I am the biggest fan of my SPk1cu so I am not posting to just incite controversies. I was and am now in the camp that a software update CAN cause SQ change and I confirmed that today.....???....

I just upgraded to 1.31CM and SPk1cu just sounded horribly right after the update. I can't describe what it was but it sounded like listening to lifeless music on a 2 dimensional plane. I almost chucked the DAP against the wall. For about an hour of listening in frustration and disappointment, I tried to convince myself it was my brain. Then I powered SP1k off / on for the first time after upgrade and listened again. Immediately I heard the magic sound returned!!!!

Based on this experience, I am convinced that I heard a difference and do think it is possible to change SQ via a software update.
So if you powered on and off and all sounds fine then you have not really established firmware changes sound once update completed correctly.
You conclusion does not match your experience in that all sounds fine once update done.

I tried out the The new Jerry Harvey EQ thats available on the AK site for the SP1000. I think it sounds good, I’m not a big EQ person i think that AK house sound is the best for daps. I also spent the 9 minutes watching his video and was an interesting watch. Has anyone else dropped this file on their players? Interested in what you all think.

The way I read it, it’s custom made for the Layla AION.

Jerry says it is for all versions of the Layla. It's not for other iems or cans. I tried it for fun, didn't do much for my EE Zeus, but then it wasn't made for it. The interview was very interesting, though.

Agreed, I understand it was made for Layla’s. I tried it for fun, I didn’t mind it. However when I switch between the EQ and the house sound, I know why I love the AK sound no EQ.
