LOL just wanted to make sure! I was about to be heartbroken 😂😂😂

But no! I love this forum. It’s weird to say but it’s like a little family in here and it’s such a great time for music! I’m all about it 💪🏿💪🏿

I once said that too! We have a small community here and many folks stay we make solid friends!

That goes to show that having good hardware design is only part of the story to good sound quality. Software tuning is essentially as important.

Just like IEMs with multiple drivers. It is not just about the number of drivers but also the crossover network, internal bracing, housing and venting system. More importantly the designer of the iem must have good ears to be able to tune the iem to sound great.

Essentially audio is like cooking, the ingredients must be good and the chef also plays alot of part in the process.

Thankfully we have Sony and the modders who can cook a good meal for us all.

Changed over to Jupiter301 T1 with 1A “J” region and Model 1Z switches flashed with alternate 3.02.

Amazing bass, though I do miss a little of Jupiter2 resolution?

Flashing the Jupiter 3.01 tuning removes the changes done by the switching process, as that mod includes the official 3.01 firmware from Sony. So basically you're experiencing the classic 3.01 firmware with the Jupiter tuning.

I can do the same thing for 3.01 if you'd really like to try it.

Oh, I can hear that it’s still in 1Z switched mode, but your saying because 3.01 aftermarket firmwares are built off 3.01 that aftermarket firmwares like 3.02 (Jupiter2) leave the noise filters off? Or do you have to only stick with the Switcher 3.02 flash to get that?

Installing 3.01 tunings is like flashing official 3.01 firmware, except it has a different tuning.

So the changes done by the switcher will get erased.

Let's switch to PM about this.

Looks like I’ll be one of the few out of the loop. Guess I stick to J 3.02

Believe me, I really want to pair it with the 1Z. I just have to keep saving. LOL

I don’t have a WM1A, but am also saving up for a WM1Z. I can get a WM1A now, but will get it second as I can save for it much faster. I am just shy of 2/3 of the way to a WM1Z and closer than that if I get one for less than retail by buying outside the US.

wm1a is probably the wise buy , plus @Vitaly2017 was telling me via pm that he enjoys wm1a more than wm1z (yeh that was one huge plot twist...)

in the end it's your hard-earned money and you should buy whaat your heart desires (and your bank account allows)

He doesn't like the Romi mod. It's internal silver wires are probably to blame.
If I was to get a player modded, I would personally only go with Audio Note capacitors, and only use copper wires, Solid core of course :)
