1A is restrained by not only OFC cables internally but also power supply capacitors as well. Sony mentioned that Fine sound resistors are better but in my opinions, I actually like MELF on Wm1A better

I installed 1.03 as soon as I got my TA. Never even thought of rolling back the firmware. I’ll give it a go

Ok, this is something I can confidently confirm right away. I just remembered that my qdc Anole V3 was an IEM that somehow fully exploited the TA darkness, to the point that it was the only IEM in my collection which I could not use with the TA.

The qdc Anole V3 now goes well with the TA.

1.03 makes the Sony TA-ZH1ES brighter. They changed the TA sound with the new update. Strangely the TA sounds a little like the 1Z, now that it’s been treble boosted.

You should make more and receive some kind of donation for them. Your sound preference really hit my alley
I can understand why many people are attracted to U1.02, it's V shape which brings out details and bass more but for me, I care about the tonal balance and the mid

In the next coming days, you will see some more versions. It is finalized, polished to take things beyond what is already there. There will be differences when you drive Headphones VS in ears buds. With these finalized FW, walkman will be able to drive headphones, even HD800S will be able to enjoy the sound performances

Walkman will be unleashed

That's good news; really enjoying your Musical FW - definitely the best synergy with my set-up and would be keen to see how this can expand to headphones, not least ZMF.

OUTSTANDING!! The work you and Morbideath have done and so generously shared with the community has been exceptional so far. Like many, I am really looking forward to hearing what you produce next. I am perhaps not as voracious a listener as many here, I am using a WM1A with CIEMs from a Vietnam builder (NCM Bella V2), but even as a casual user, have greatly enjoyed the improvements from these FW releases.

I know your busy and this is off topic, but do you have on a computer........

TA-ZH1ES firmware update 1.01

Two of us have updated to 1.03 and are wondering if the TA actually rolls back? Also is there a 1.02 too?

 

[Whitigir]

I think TA could actually roll back just fine. I don’t think I have TA firmware 1.01 anymore. I think There used to be 1.02 for TA as well, but it has been too long LOL!!

Because I have ear problems - because of IEMs ...
What kind of headphones can be powered by wm1a and sound really good?

I find the Beyer T5p 2nd gen and ATH-MSR7b sound really good with the WM1A without the need for an external amp (both also sounding very good in direct mode). I also find the Beyer DT1990 Pro sound very good when paired with an ALO CV5 amp on the WM1A.

Z7 MKII should do wonder with Walkman and so does MDR-Z1R
