Just downloaded the Mac version on High Sierra but I keep getting a message saying the firmware has collapsed. Any ideas?

Typically this is due to running the wrong version J when you should be using U.

Ive tried with both EU and U as my player is from the UK (but changed to J region)

Can you PM me so we can check what's happening? Thanks.

Edit: actually, it seems that the .dmg files are not done correctly. I'll work on them tomorrow maybe. Sorry for that.

All these updates do is change the sound signature based on the information in the xml. The actual firmware running is the original Sony released firmware.

Thanks, so basically achievable by the DSP settings. Would be great if the creators could be more transparent and just post the changes to the default flat setting.

This remindes me of MathAudio Headphone EQ, great product and available as plugin for Foobar2000 or as manual settings for equalizers to compensate different headphones to sound as near to the Harman target curve as possible. Pure transparent science and no magic

It seems you're still trying to impose your preconceptions about these things, without actually trying them yourself. It's entirely up to you if you'd like to try it or not, of course.

However, my advice remains the same: don't have an opinion this big (especially about these mods, not talking about 2k cables) without trying it for yourself first.

This is unless you're intentionally trying to annoy people, of course.

If not, then peace

This has nothing to do with me wanting to annoy anybody or try anything. I just ask simple questions and try to understand things better. Appologies if anybody takes (or wants to take) my cynical comments personally.

The creators do not want to widely publish how they are doing that to prevent Sony from potentially closing this capability in future updates.

Thanks for the explanation.

it's a quick, safe and most important fully reverssable tweak on the sony sound , you should try it it's no biggie

and here is another great dark prog house mix from 2003

Autumn+ is very impressive, just as impressive as Solis but a completely different flavour, I think it will be hard to decide which way to go

 

[Dtuck90]

Dig out an old windows 7 laptop to try Autumn+ on 3.02 J region. I was previously using Jupiter 3.01 but this sounds more natural and the sound staging and detail is just fantastic.

Nice, and I see you own a WM1Z. Some members were mentioning how some of the other seasons also sound good on their WM1Z.

As I can't know for sure how it sounds on the 1Z, I recommend 1Z users to feel free to also try the "Seasons". Maybe one of the others will sound even better.

Just tried Autumn+ on my zx300

Oh my

To the pojnt - soundstage got huge and wjde, it became more analog, warm and natural without loosing any detail. Treble is smoother and more refined. Its a huge upgrade, dont want to sell zx300 anymore

Both Solis and Autumn+ seem to be very even and work well across all genres and types of music. Detail retreval is good on both and nothing seems to be recessed or unduely prominent. Solis is more performance super car or Arab horse whereas Autumn+ is more lush English luxury car and country house. I love both presentations

Autumn+ is also more forgiving on stock players
