Shiit i was 1000% sure my 1z was made in japan. I just looked it says Malaysia.
Whyyyy
Even my fujifilm camera isss all made in Japan and lenses to.

Sad day but it still sounding good though )

Only Fuji lenses and Xpro and gfx are made in Japan. XT3 is made in China, but my 16 mm f1.4 Fuji lens is made in Japan . Btw don’t worry sony is ok.. very good product.. enjoy the music

Man.....this is the first time I really wanted to stay with the software. Not that I’ve tried 3.02......it’s just that 3.01 is so nice.

Since each FW has changed sound I really hesitate to upgrade as the new features I really don’t care.. but I am curious to see if any improvement over 3.01

I'm trying it?

Ok, don't kill me, but I think I hear 3.02 sounds a little different than 3.01, it seems to be more musical and liquid, vocal more wet, clarity better than 3.01 but tradeof is that subbass seems less. Its easier to follow the flow of the music.

I'm using direct sound mode. This is what I hear for now. But my gears might make determining difficult since they color the sound nicely; and I maybe wrong. Using JVC FX850 and 1Z with PW1960 4 core cable, my current fav.


I'm curious to hear what others who try 3.02 compared to 3.01 have to say.

Strange the update keeps saying ...contacting facebook....lol.

I then switched to MAC but it's in another language and also would not download the 100mb+ software.

Oh...well? But your bass description does not sound like anything I want to be a part of?

I'll just wait?

Has anyone tried the FH7 with Sony NW-WM1a?

regards,
Simon

I am curious about this too ~ I am considering to get this while I have the chance to get the like new Meze Rai Penta or the used but good conditions Shure SE846 for the same price as the new FH7. Which you guys reckon would be the no brainer choice here, the Penta or SE846? OR the FH7 is that good... I am into all sort of genres, from classical to Electro, Jazz to Rock and anything in between.

Curiosity got the best of me.......so I updated with MusicCenter. The bass is for-sure more integrated........though it will take time to understand. My biggest notice was the soundstage and imaging....which is more spread-out. Spacious and holding better separation of elements.............which does do a thing with vocals. Vocals separated and objectified due to clarity? But.......yes this is due to a relocation of lower frequency prioritization......it's almost less warm but smooth enough?

Probable that the humongous soundstage will keep me here with the 1Z.......though it worries me what less bass with the 1A will be like?

Edit:

The 1Z and IER-Z1R has always been a bass heavy tour.....this software update brings the two in line.

Edit:
Yep....software was designed in favor of bringing the 1Z and IER into complete unification. Staggering!

My ideas were correct. I’m pretty sure this 3.02 is sonically tuned to unify the 1Z and IER-Z1R. The two are now fully together?

It’s a whole new world now?

Edit: The 1Z is totally amazing now!

If anyone noticed I always preferred the 1A and IER-Z1R combo, though now the 1Z and IER-Z1R is absolutely perfect. I can’t believe anyone would not be in amazement!
