Yes you can swap between any of the 7 released fw except the original 1.0.

3.01 is very nice and you have the super huge bonus of being able to use your WM1A as USB-DAC

a no brainer , imo.

I don't understand the hate for Malaysia. It's not only ignorant, but also insulting to the country. If folks would bother to do a little research like this article:

https://www.digitalnewsasia.com/business/sonys-penang-tec-factory-not-just-production-rd-too

One would see that the factories in Malaysia are Sony owned and staffed. All top management are Japan ex-pats with product decisions still made in Sony HQ in Tokyo. The manufacturing is state of the art and the fact that most of the manufacturing is done under one roof improves the quality versus relying on a bunch of 3rd vendors. There is no reason to believe that "made in Japan" has any significance for a Sony product, other than higher price.

Agreed 100%. Quality products are made throughout the entire world. You guys honestly think Sony would let their 3 TOTL DAPs get built there if they knew it was an inferior production plant? Zero chance of that happening.

Features aside and strictly based on sound, is there any consensus as to which version sounds the best?

3.01 is perfect for me. Although I’m curious with 3.02
