I posted this over in Modifying WM1Z/A:

Good news, I have figured out that it would be possible to make macOS versions of these updaters.

I have a Windows system so I don't need to make a macOS version but would do it if anyone is interested

So, let me know if anyone is interested and I'll start with "Ultimate 1.02" as a proof of concept.

Can I try Ultimate 1.0.2 in 1A or is it best used in 1Z only?

Thanks

Very informative and useful! could u also tell us what hardware setups are u using to reach the conclusion?
I added the information in my original post.
"My setup is a WM1Z with a Romi Audio, HK mod V4 (Black Gate), which is a pretty extensive mod. . The IEM I used is the Sony IER-Z1R with stock 4.4mm cable."

Guys, come on, try thoose firmware and stop asking. Choose by yourself. We all ear differently...

I agree we all ear differently. Looking in threads I dont recall 1A users using Ultimate 1.0.2 and wanted to check in case its 1Z specific and I dont brick my 1A if so.

“The process is perfectly safe for your device, and you can always run the other mod to substitute, or revert back to the official FWs anytime by running their exe.

They are supposed to work on either 1A and 1Z.”

LOL. Downloaded the DMP-Z1 1.02, although the virus protection on my laptop all but told me I was going to die if I dared download this FW. :ksc75smile: Will get a good listening session tonight.

For those of you who don't already have a trusted RAR extraction tool - you are far more likely to get malware from downloading "free" extraction utilities. I would advise you purchase a tool directly from the app seller (e.g. Winzip) or if you insist on free, find an open source utility and make sure you download from the respective .ORG site. I would highly advise against downloading anything from general "download" websites, especially those that you link to from spam ads.

I posted this on Modifying WM1Z/A:

OK, my macOS version of "Ultimate 1.02" worked. It took less than 2 minutes to create and ran with no issues on my WM1A what I previously switched from US to E

So I can go ahead and build all of the versions.

Who can host them as they are too big attach here?

Mac Users can try the following:

While waiting for someone to host the modified DMG file, I think you can also give the instructions. I assume you just swapped out the NW_WM_FW.UPG file in the DMG package? If yes, then you can do this without the need to download any special tools or apps in MAC OS. You just need to give step by step instructions and Finder commands to show hidden files.
