Do you have a list of instructions to install everything in the proper order which the end result will be the WM1Z/Z++?

Install WM1A/Z++, switch the model to 1Z, then install it again.

No chameleon 2.0 needed?

Edit: 3 separate firmwares. Got it.

All the WM1A 2.0 mods have the 1Z base sound included.

The WM1A 2.0 mods are CHAMELEON, WM1A/Z+, and WM1A/Z++ and they are only made for the WM1A.

So if you want to install WM1A/Z++, you don't need to install CHAMELEON first. They are separate mods, with the same 1Z base sound. I have no clue where you got the idea that you would need to install CHAMELEON first.

Hence why I corrected myself from up top. What's important for me to say, thank you for the step by step. Will see how much the volume is boosted vs the stock 1Z I have. I hope that's a good thing to compare.

I didn't see the correction in time

Please note that with WM1A/Z++, the sound will also be different when compared to the stock 1Z.

I noticed a big difference between the 2. I used the MDR-1AM2 and at volume 50 on both, I found the volume to be quieter on 1A. The guitar strings are not so buzzy and gentler while the stock unmodded 1Z makes them sound more aggressive and you can really feel the edginess in them, almost like they want to pierce your ears. Whether that's a good thing or not I'm not sure yet. But NOW I can finally say I hear a difference between the two players. Is it a wow difference? I need to dive deeper, but glad to know it does output something different on the WM1A/Z++.

Edit: I listened to Boyz II Men's Water Runs Driy and this song, both on ALAC:

Mistic Traveler can you share part of the near future with us?

How mystic traveler looks in my mind...

How i picture all Mr. Walkman T shirts and Pajamas....
Chameleon 3.00 MX3 (default for my walkman) its the best so far in terms of sound performance VIA SE the others sounded a little like Virtual expansion sound.. but the ones that mimic 1Z (2.0 Variants) are really good I encourage everyone to try them

Curious if anyone with the 1z did try to install the new 2.0 mod out of curiosity (and/or envy)?

DMP-Z1......on a 1A? and a 1Z? Who knew!

 

[Gamerlingual]

Anyone else experience that the volume is slightly quieter with the WM1A/Z++? It’s happening to my MDR-Z1R as well

A bit, yes, but the Beeping tones are too loud, and I got some distortion on songs I know well

Weird. The WM1A/Z++ smoothes our everything and provided an evenness in the purity of sound coming all over. It’s super soft and gentle regardless of the music playing. Interesting.

It cannot be installed on 1Z, but feel free to try.

I didn't encounter any distortion myself.

No distortion for me. But am I correct that the volume sounds a little quieter and gentler, just smoothes out the highs, mids, and lows to make it more cohesive and easier to listen to the ears than the stock 1Z?

same signature, volume appear lower cuz of larger soundstage.
