That is what I am going to say next....

Sony may patch and encrypt the Walkman further since now and on to

1/ Unable to roll back firmware
2/ Further encryptions that Firmware is uncrackable

The one thing Sony has encrypted this far is that it Hard Coded region can not be changed, while the firmware and software Region code can change.

Beware for any future firmwares upgrade from Sony LOL

This is like the iPhone Jailbreak situation.
We will need one user(s) to test if any new firmware version can be applied and rolled back, if the Firmware mods can still be applied, if the Region codes can be changed, and give an update to the users that it is safe to update. Or not.

He's just a curious person with knowledge and passion for SONY WALKMAN

At present moment I can’t think of anything Sony could add/change that would make me want to try a new fw

........or a new Walkman MK2 for that matter.

........or a new Walkman MK2 for that matter.

Here is a kicker, all Walkman has Walkman Algorithms....except DMP Z1 which is a polished versions of these very algorithms

Not sure if even new Walkman will get those set of algorithms....

A sure thing is that all the modified firmwares are Based on DMP Z1 Algorithms and not Walkman

all tuning are from extensively subjective listening and comparison across platforms and so on etc....

Sony should realise that such features are a selling point, not a negative. Locking down WM1A/Z will only serve to irritate & isolate users. WM!A/Z isn't aimed at the average listener, therefore a level of flexibility should be available.

I do agree the potential exists, so created a new rule in W10 Firewall to block Sony Music Centre inbound connections. No more auto update and Sony can do as they see fit...

Sony guys most likely are too busy playing playstation 5 prototypes to care about this

 

[Whitigir]

You guys are cracking me up with conspiracy and PS5 talks LOL!!!

The question is... will PS5 be “Hi-Res” ? DSD native ?

Next PS5 Dualshock controller will have build in SMaster chip and run signature series firmware and 4.4mm jack. Connected with LDAC to PS5.

Roflmao, ok, let’s get back on tracks so our “guests” can enjoy the firmware too

 

[Vitaly2017]

Let @Whitigir do some new fw tweaks on that dual shocker so it can have dsd remastering as a bonus )
