One question to @Morbideath will the FW mods reset previously existing settings (EQ etc.)?

Thanks

Incredible what i hear on bass, like that of my then owned oppo Ha-2 amp/DAC with nice treble details,

Perhaps i can deacribe as FW 3.02 With more bass, same huge stage and details retrieval.

Detail retrieval is unbelievable, there is a faint Lute playing with the xontinuo part, can be picked up damn easily

You think D1.02 has more bass than Stock 3.02? hmmmmm interesting... ive never thought it that way.
btw is your 1A in region EU?

I just compared wm2z and dmp 1.02 and me to I confirm dmp1.02 has a more prominent and riply bass. Feels stronger.

Wm2z feels a little less bass vs stock and overall slightly less energetic. But very fine tuning. Stock can be brighter in treble

Very intriguing but I do really like dmp1.02 bass punch

I really like LPGT version. It has extremely beautiful treble; maybe a little less bass quantity. Try it, I think it will do well with stock 1Z.
Amazing clarity yet so musical, so beautiful. I'm not sure if this is how LPGT in reality sounds, but the marriage of 1Z and LPGT is quite amazing.
I listen to slow songs, so maybe this won't work on those extremely energetic ones. I use Aether, which has good treble but sounds boring, but using it with ALO 16 gold cable, sounds bright but gentle treble, wow its just amazing!

I have just decided to withdraw LPGT due to the lack of interests. You are the first one to give feedback about it.

Every FW mod has its strength and weakness, that's why they were featured. Im glad u could enjoy the strengths


I just tried dmp1.02 and wm2z on overkill song and dmp1.02 clearly is the best choice for that song maann the bass can be felt. I feel like big puff of waves hitting me from left or right amd very quickly. Very impressive haha

Clarity is off the roof with LPGT version. I think if you use iem that has good base in treble and bass, it will do very well, provided being bright is acceptable. Probably iem like EE Legend X or something close. Etherial & soft treble. One word, its beautiful, not rough at all.

Ok now I loaded stock fw aaa man dmp1.02 is so much clearer and well resolving all the notes.

I have to say stock fw feels close to dmp1.02 bass same hard punchy deep bass hits and waves of puffs.
But somehow on dmp1.02 it just better!

Also stock firmware feels quiet bright now. A little to much slightly muddy feeling not as well separated as the dmp1.02 dw...


Ok will try lpgt now!

Yes that influential double kick drum intro (and the multiple outros) is perfect for testing bass speed and depth.
U will feel even more so on a good UK 1st press Bronze vinyl transfer.
