The mortality rates is low because now the base number is low. The scary side of this virus is its very high contagious feature. When everyone is contagious, your medical system cannot afford so many patients, then many die due to the lack of medical treatment.
Just for comparison. The mortality rate of all the patients hospitalized for the common flu every year is 7.5%.
I am not saying this is not serious, but so far it is a lot of fear mongering...
Now that might change, but so far it is not something that should stop World trade, or collapse entire economies.

Sorry for derailing this thread.

Super exciting diving into update Ultimate 1.02 on the 1A with Noble Encore, had nice imaging and clarity. Probably stay with Club 1.01 for a week or two?

Installed D1.02 on my WM1A, still too early to really give feedback, but is there some info labeling the fw version in OS? right now my Unit Information just shows the usual 3.02 version. Would be helpful to know what is loaded at a glance.

Just also realized I passed 1000 hours played on this thing literally an hour ago, so wooo! milestones.

It would remain showing 3.02. U can only differentiate from the sound.

I should also add I got a weird error trying to run the .dmg install and went to Windows to install the exe no problem. Are they compatible with Catalina?

Edit: added photo

2-hours using the DMPZ1 fw , on stock wm1a + NT6

wow , this sorcery is for real - i am a believer. Very curious how the other FWs will sound , i kinda hated 3.02 but this is great tuning and with NT6 which is very very lean and reference and with kinda closed soundstage there is a definite transformation/improvement - plus, i hear things i have never heard (even with my Zeus XR)



Great job whoever did all those FWs , sony is cooking.

I have been following these firmware updates since inception however I have not yet taken the plunge as my Axios headphone cables are at Kimber being terminated.

Two questions:

1) Are most people using these firmware updates with iem's and not actually headphones (ie in my case Utopias)? Are Headphones seeing similar improvements?

2) NO FLAME THROWERS PLEASE as it is a very serious question.

I thank the poster of these firmwares and the work they have done.
However
Before loading these onto our computers for installation has anyone run any antivirus check on them? By nature I play devil's advocate. When I see a brand new member to the forum post firmware updates the very next day after he joins - it is a question to ask.

Once again no disrespect intended however logically in today's world it is a reasonable question to ask.

PS - I'm sure my second question will get most of the replies however don't forget about the first part dealing with headphones vs. iem's

actually I had an ID ten years ago but forgot the password. I merely posted 3 posts for the ten years so I registered a new one instead.
Hope the others could answer your questions soon.

Yep. Its a direct port from official DMP 1.02
Strangely I can’t download it, the rest fine? Listening to DMP 1.01 now, pretty good, smooth really for the 1A.
