Guys! Need all your attention ! I just discovered a very interesting phenomena about ears !!!!

Remember i said a solist5 is wrong not as good as j3zu!

Well I found my problem!

I took vacations off 1z and was listening to zx507 for 5 days !!!
Yea had to do a burn in on it to reach 200hours and same time I got used to its sound signature!

So whats the big problem?
Its that when I reloaded my J+j3zu on my 1z I was immediately hit by a big treble elevation and was not finding it pleasant at all cause I felt like it was too much!
But How the hell I loved it before and listen to it like its the end of the world and loved it!?

So I loaded solist5 woow so smooth treble very easy delicate no pain from Treble!
So I also tried playing with regions? I load U and it even got more mellow haha . So I was like okey that way to much now let up this up. Back to J + solis hmmm

NOW I feel the real goodness of solis its linear balanced elegant and polite sound to fix all issues and peaks )

I guess I was playing for too long with peakier treble and this what happened it fooled me !

So let your ears rest and refresh cause they can play tricks on ya!

Also means I temporarily damaged my treble in my ears as it was not hurting me as much as before. Its good that its temporary and not permanent! Be careful folks !

I’ve been saying this about the 1A for years. It really is amazing what we can adjust to.

The ZX507 in comparison to the 1A is extremely balanced in it’s sound presentation, with the treble done with love. It’s there but not overly bright/piercing, and all the details are there.

TBH, I was just waiting for you to post this update... Took longer than expected though. That's why I am stressing the point of spending more time to listen to each FW vs just a short and quick listen. Enjoy!
A true veteran, like u and Whitigir, knows his ears better than anything else, no matter what music / gears being threw at

Sorry if I did hurt sone feelings.
I did sense that something was wrong as I am my self not a big fan of peaky treble and that solis should of been an instant improvement. See ears need time too! Not just brain perception!

Wait you been saying this about 1a but now you are saying this about zx507?

dun get me wrong. Def did not hurt any feelings. I’m actually happy that you found the root cause and learned something. I’m totally unbiased towards any FW. Everyone have their own preference. We are all diff but We all love good music and good presentation of music!!

Does anyone have any experience both of MS K Ultimate mod 1Z and Romi Audio 1Z version 3.5? What kinds of differences between these hardware and sound signatures? Cheers!

well, a modified 1A is a very different beast. With both Firmware and Hardware modifications, it can easily make other players be running for it money. Especially now with used 1A price.
