I have finally received my modded 1z from romi and started to play with firmwares again lol as everything changed!

I loaded my dsd music from album Jazz at the pawn shop as I found this recording done in a natural way and the open atmosphere of the room where it seems like to be a coffee shop. So I tuned my region and firmware accordingly to that to have the most natural real to life like resonance and perception.

I came down to region CEV and stock fw 3.0.2 maybe things will change later once my burn in process completes but for now I like that new combination.


thanks to @Mindstorms hes chart on regions overview was very help full I could at least have glance of a view to where to head

Over the last month at home I’ve been timing my 1Z under various conditions.

3 1/2 years old with about 3.500 hours of play time (unit had a factory reset at about 2.700 hours).
Unit in stand by when not playing, never turned off.
Battery saver 90% play 3-5 hours per day until turn off.
Balanced out 3.02 J plus Autumn+ or Solis

2020-03-26 723 hours: BaseLine
2020-03-31 738 hours: 15 hours HiRes flac with Vinyl processor + Normal gain
2020-04-05 753 hours: 15 hours HiRes flac with Vinyl processor + High gain
2020-04-10 771 hours: 18 hours HiRes flac Source Direct + Normal gain
2020-04-16 788 hours: 18 hours HiRes flac Source Direct + High gain
2020-04-21 809 hours: 21 hours Red Book flac Source Direct + High gain

So vinyl processor cost 3 hours play time as does mixed hires but high gain to same volume does not cost any.

So does battery actually getting better with time also you have auto powerf off? and also you are on 3.02 right balanced? (also sorry when do you recharge when last bar starts flashing?)

No auto power off, just goes to stand by when not playing, has not been turned off in 3 1/2 years. Balanced out and 3.02 (Autumn+ and J at the moment but have also been on Solis).
My feeling is that the battery time is about the same as it has always been

I have a little bit technical question. Do you know if the recent Walkmans are DC coupled or AC coupled? On my A55 I am measuring around 2 mV DC offset on one channel and 5 mV on the other one, while my decade old NW-S615F measures 0.2 mV and 2 mV. It might be that the WM1A/Z would be more accurately trimmed in case of DC coupled output. Is it anyway normal to have couple mV DC offset?

The output DC offset compensation should be done by the DAC internally using negative feedback. And assuming that all of the latest DAPs from Sony use the CXD3778GF S-Master HX, they all should share similar DC offset performance, as this should not depend on any external filter components used. In general heaving a DC offset at the headphone output is undesirable for many reasons, these include: reduced dynamic range, heating up of the driver coil, waste of power etc. So I am just curious if 5 mV is acceptable? You can measure yours with multimeter set to mV range and a male to male 3.5 cable.

Does anyone has issues sometimes not showing the Track Photo? it is happening to me in two walkmas dough in my computer it shows all the photos of each track in the walkman some photos just dont show im in 3.00!

They are probably progressive jpg. Walkman OS only support baseline. The Android based players do support progressive

Screen print of the picture and then saved to paint in to jpeg did help me solve the trick.

At some point with 1 album it didnt work, so I just renamed it lol and it then worked go figure jesus!

There are a couple of methods for converting the images to show up. I use Tagscanner (Windows/free) for tagging my music - it has an option in the album art section to simply 'recompress' which has worked for every album I previously had an issue with. There is another option using Windows paint but someone else would have to help you with that method.

Nice! If you have the WM1A, I recommend giving a try to 3.02 with J region

Been holding out on 3.02 J since i think it would be way too bassy but i'm thoroughly impressed! It's not bassy (at all) plus that treble smoothness (on autumn+ rn) can really tell that you tuned with this combo. Thanks for recommending it man and appreciate the mods you brought to us normies

get mp3tag man just cut+paste the cover art. Just remember to save it after doing so and another thing, save when you're dealing with different cover arts.

How on earth this is happening lol

Hi all, its been a while since i updated my unit. I see 3.02 is available with some useful features I would like to use. Problem is i only have a mac at home and it seems like its only available to update with a windows PC. Is there away around this other user have found pls?
