There was no context to do that, this is what I meant. You just threw it there, as some plus in your argument.

Not cool, and it really doesn't help the modding community!

This is my last post in this argument, really.
It isn’t cool, but see ? One The reason why people kept the hacking away was exactly this also. You did bring it up and I just explaining it away. No argument.

@Whitigir Personally , I think both of you are great talented people in this group. Nothing will come out good if you two don’t stop fighting. Hows about shaking hands?

I don't know what is going on here, it feels like when my parent used to fight and I didn't know which side to take.😁

Anyways, I'm happy and thankful that @MrWalkman manage to implement the DSEE HX AI, you just saved me buying a new DAP.
Now I'm looking back at dmp-z1 considering how good my stock wm1a sounds.
Thank you and I can't wait to see if DSD resampling can be something on wm1a.

Though I don't like arguing, and I already mentioned I will not continue the argument further, there is a saying:

The wolf changes his fur, but not his habits, so I'm kind of skeptic.

The same reason as why you don’t want to share how to crack up the UPG. What if people keep pushing you and pursue that idea constantly ?
I believe no one would attack someone for not sharing.

Most of community is beninfitting from the results.

There may be some kind of a miscommunications.

We all benefit and are greatfull for all the mod tunnings of everyone in the past. They are all great works.

It should be obvious that certain info cannot be publicly divulged.
Better to keep those secrets in PMs.

This starting to get touchy, so
Let's please move on.

Wow, that dislodged any earwax that may've been in my ears...

Erich Kunzel's version of the 1812 overture, I decided to go for it - high gain, 105 on the volume... yowzers! the FH7 stood their ground admirably (The best I ever heard that was with the Philips M1 over ears - maximum volume, the earcups moved...)

I'm sure youtube kills the dynamics, but - the part in question:


Have you heard the SACD version? I picked it up on Amazon a couple of months ago. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005AVNH/

Haha, just a bad joke.

I usually drink Budweiser, it's a Czech lager :) But good beer is good beer, when you're thirsty, especially in the summer, any cold beer is good!

The true original Budweiser, not the American crap.

Would you consider revising the Cerberus on the new installer? I’m really enjoying it

Thank you, mate - would be very nice to see those and your impressions as I, for instance, have no stock 1Z to compare.
Ok, for this test, I used some of the best full sized cans(Focal Utopia,Denon 9200, Senn HD800), on the balanced out, and yes the Sony can do it without amplification:

So I compared the 1a and the 1Z, and upgraded them both to MrWalkman's (Mr. Sony?) amazing firmware, the " WM1A/Z+, but before the "1a to 1z" name change.

:)

So here are my random initial thoughts that I notated as I was testing...

With the 1a upgraded to WM1A/Z+ , and then also loaded the "1a to 1z"(chameleon) tuning, the Tonality of both players was surprisingly very, very similar(!).
Almost sounded exactly same.

1a was a bit less fluid and with less depth, but also a bit more intense in the clarity(!)..

Going back to 1z, the slight more organic and fluild, and also slight sense of ease in presentation was noted, compared to the 1a.

1a instead gave a touch more sense of energy and excitement, at the expense of slight less liquidity and dimensionally...

The energy from the 1a was amazingly very addicting... Actually extremely addicting.

It makes you want to grab it more, over the more realistic , refined, and effortless sounding 1z!

But if I had to choose , yes it actually is hard choice now, as they both perform excellent, but differently...
In the end I am still keeping my 1z...
:)

Edit**
It should be noted that the 1a needed the extra tuning of "chameleon"(1a to 1z) in order to elevate the player to the 1z level of refinement.

Without it on only "WM1A/Z+" , it sounded more coarse and raw and unrefined..
Edit**
My comparison was interpreted incorrectly, as it not course but in comparison to the sliky 1z tunning.
Apologies for the chaos of questions.

So I was incorrect in the assumptions, but both 1a firmwares were in comparison to the 1z with the wm1a/z+ firmware...
