Tried going back to the 1.02 firmware, but my 1A fails to build a library every single time.
Can someone please help, maybe the firmware is corrupted??

you need to open settings and go to device settings then reset/format and choose rebuild database

1.20 firmware sounds really nice, especially on Direct Source on. Really really nice
Scrolling is a bit choppy though.
More bass than the 3.01, sounds fuller, and dare I say.... more coherent.
Vocals are smooth and expressive.
Need to do more testing, but I could live with both 1.2 and 3.01

Add: Will be sticking with the 1.2 firmware for a while, really enjoying it's presentation and sound so far. It sounds so organic and beautiful, has me lost in the music.
I can see why people are still holding onto this firmware.

Just got the WM1A a couple days ago and I absolutely love this DAP.. The best sound I've heard.
I haven't even explored any settings and I come here seeing that the old firmware is even better?

Anyway, just wondering if there is a consensus on which protective case is best or if there is one to avoid. I have the thin silicon one but was thinking of something a little sturdier, possibly with a screen cover. Is the Sony one any good? It looks a little annoying to use seeing as it flips down instead of to the side...

lookup for my posts I have reviewed the SE output on each firmware based on what you can hear/acomplish with EQ

Yes it has happened to me only solution erase all tracks or most and add new ones after the firmware its installed friend! 1.20 its great!! and really powerfull and really 3D sounding!! if you can comment about 1.02?

Thanks, I will. I had a meet up with another member and he knew the Sony better than I did and steered me towards the settings so I will have some fun revising the sound over the next while.

Better placement of instruments, nice extended highs, bigger soundstage, cymbals are amazing, because of my sets, lows are better, I think better battery life for 4.4 out

Highs on a dangerous limit it can be fatigue

Currently listening to the Serenade Grand Partita. One of the.most beautiful works by W.A. Mozart. Splendid performance of the MDR-Z1R, i am on firmware 3.01, astounding instrument timbre and placements, a full 13 winds ensemble . The dynamics also well presented. Despite this album (a volume from the then complete philips Mozart edition 1991 & 2006) wasnt recorded on a super big hall, i can hear the reverb of the room clearly. Something i never heard with other headphones it always sounded dry

They will slowly eat yur brain
