Ack now there's another reason for me to hand over my wm1a to Romi... I wish he also change out the batteries

Is the sound signature totally changed after modding? The blackgate version mod seems to be too expensive for me (almost a brand new wm1z). Are they only changing the wires from circuit board to output jacks for the cheaper mod package?

I'm quite comfortable with my current set up. Stock 3.01 FW on wm1a paired with Moondrop S8. A very laidback listening experience as I dislike things that sound over excited and fatiguing. Nothing really jumps out at my ears and that's exactly why I can leave the music playing for hours. It's like a bubble bath with perfect temperature.

If I had cash I might dump it into M9 for the ultimate reference sound.


Dude are you serious?
You really think I would of sent my dap to get lower tier parts???

You seem lost in your sound signature preferences as you tell me you desire to send your to Romi and right after you telling me your happy with stock 1a.

I am sorry to burst your bubble but even stock 1z is a big step up from 1a!

And moded 1z from romi brings 1z to new hights and sound characteristics that you probably never heard before.

The mod as it self keeps sony 1z core signature and it still same as before but with new abilities as more resolution and balance to the sound. Less treble elevation, with smoother attacks.

More control in bass and mids very natural.

Same old sony 1z but with bg caps.

I think you misunderstood his post. He did not suggest or say about Romi’s mod using lower tier parts.U must be too impatient waiting for your 1Z to come back to your loving ears. Haha

He is just asking whether Romi offers a lower cost Mod which involves upgrading just the wires and battery and not the Caps.

And notice he just states he is “quite” happy with his 1A... not “very” happy. That’s why he is exploring an upgrade.

Well indeed I am quiet impatient at my current stage, it been very long and its frustrating.

Sorry but thats how I felt from hes message, maybe I misunderstood it sorry then.

Just like what I think. But my case is sound coming from outside IEM (that sound is coming directly from WM1A), different from other cases that I've encountered is sound coming from inside IEM.
Check that under Settings > Device Settings > Beep Settings is off.

LPGT Firmware is another one that I really love on my 1A. Loved it since I heard it a couple of months ago. Loaded it again just now. Sings beautifully with 3.02. It just has a charm to it that I can’t describe. Warmth, check! Musicality, check! Smoothness, check!

p.s. always remember to load stock3.02 first before loading any other firmware. It makes a difference.

The servomechanism makes a sound when changing kHz rates on files and mine makes a slight clicking in places just raising the volume with no music playing.
Yes, for me it is above 80 that you can hear the clicking through the IEM
