Yes all but except ClassicalZ

Nice. Would be good if you can tell us what changes you did to both of them?

Adjusted bass in Classical A and Vinyl A sounds quality be much closer to the Z counterpart.

Ok that’s good. Will try it out. And will also be helpful if you name them with different version like version 1,2 so that we can compare them. Cheers.

And also what is the main difference between classical a and vinyl a?

Could someone give me a link to download Solis 3.01 and 3.02 for WM1A please. Thank you

Same please. =)

Yes I have tried all of them and I liked Jupiter, Solis, Autumn+ and Spring. However, the Classical and Vinyl are the most neutral and easy listening ones while maintain good timbre with balanced tonality. Both are my favourites now

Yes, good choices now for sensitive IEMs.
I use headphones, so prioritize other aspects.

Well I tried all of the latest firmwares again, including the new classical version.


Many preference choices now.
Solis was my "ruler" for the others, as I prioritize resolution, then liveliness, then soundstage...

Organic nature hasn't seemed to change yet in any of the firmwares.

You basically need either hardware upgrades to 1a, or a 1z to get more organic nature...(less solid-state).

Anyways,
I am currently now on Avlos, and Staying here for now.

Avlos with 3.01 would be interesting...

With classical fw, you should be able to hear every notes and instruments. Smooth and a bit of warmth. Good separation and focus. 3D space and depth should be more than Vinyl. Object tones are more life like.

Vinyl should do well on all type of musics. Analog records will shine more with this fw. It's an attempt to be sound more like class A/B amplifiers.

I'll upload solis if someone needed

I find that Avlos works really good on a wide variety of headphones, sound is really relaxing and laid back.
Solis is really a different animal, if your headphones can handle it, I still think there is nothing like it. But it’s definitely not for everyone.

Stock WM1A user here.

next upgrade dsd

24bits does preserve audio information well when converting from other formats. DSD is great too but waste lot more space from 16bits sources.

I converted live youtube audio myself too. Very spacious and powerful vocal.

I have audiophile sound card on my PC and capture it to wav: (well avi) then edit them. Convert them in 16bits but it suck. 24bits works well enough when compared to original. Youtube live streams are suck. Just try to preserve quality as much as possible. Good space vs quality.

They have remastered in studio version from Amazon prime but it doesn't capture live performance feel in it.

My A1 just reached 202hrs today. Just checked it right now. Going to be testing it again against the ZX300 once I'm recovered enough to listen for long sessions. I'm coming out from what I assume is the coronavirus and have only really listened to the A1 when the Tylenol alleviated the headache.

It's been a fever dream kinda week for me but at least my A1 has reached it burn in period. I know people on here say that it sounds better with more than the required burn in but for now, at least I can hear its fuller sound signature.

I know about the firmware mods too but for now, I'll enjoy fw 3.01

Ive been listening to some orchestra pieces, mostly Yoko Shimomura but I have other stuff too and on the A1 it all sounds soo damn good! My neurons flare like crazy when I hear the separation between the instruments or when I can focus on certain sounds without them being "blended" into the rest of the music.

I love this little thing.
