A show of hands, who prefers WM1A to WM1Z over WM1A/Z+? Just curious.

I prefer the WM1A/Z+. Sound is overwhelming )

Any difference if I use low gain and higher volume? Won’t the noise floor be lower? Since you still have headroom, why use high gain?

In terms of low end, doesn’t high gain cut off bass frequencies a little bit? I always felt it did while increasing the upper mids and highs significantly. That was also one of the reasons why I didn’t like high gain.

i feel like High Gain boosts the mid-bass , whereas Low Gain keeps it more sub-bass centered and more 'balanced' in general....Usually listen to Low Gain since like you said i have all the headroom i need with my Zeus XR

Someone wrote here about changing region to CN via NW DesktTool. Nope, CN sounds dull and flat. The one and only J

CN is biased towards resolution for the Chinese market and doesn't compliment many western genres, the mid bass seems rather tamed, with treble elevated.

J & MX3 are the better regions IMO.

In most cases, I’m also experiencing better dynamics with high gain, providing more fun sound signature and better control both in bass and treble. However, whenever I’m using my aging Fitear 335, they always sound best using low gain SE output. I believe it depends on whether your IEM requires more power or not.

I found low gain a little flat so went with high gain and prefer the sound, to my ears it's much more dynamic for my hybrids.

Dumb question time. If I have WM1AZ+ instlalled and I change the region, would I have to reinstall the WM1AZ+ firmware?

What region is MX3? If I get one from Accessory Jack, what is the region code?

I know I loved solis 3.0.2 a lot it was a quality resolution fw with overall a great balanced sound.

But new fw is on a new layer of balance in frequency. It mains the fun factors in music with a nice more firmer bass and amazing treble response.
The treble is the super star of the show and bass as its assistant

New fw offers better imaging and instruments positioning. Everything just sounds wow and super addictive!


@Ravenous
I am happy to see someone felt the little change as my self to I felt there is something improved with my new method. I feel the treble is ultra refined and cleansed. It also feels a little more detailed and more precise imaging...

The change is very minimal and super subtle but for someone sensitive in that area he will definitely feel it!!!

Pay close attention I say feel and not hear!

I am happy with Solis, J region, but you guys sound convincing enough to make want to try this new sauce WM1AZ+. Going to give it a try..

MX3 is for Mexico / Latin America. As for Accessory Jack could be CN or I think more likely E.

I got my ZX300 from them and it was E, which I believe is their standard.

I'd like to try the new fw but then if I wanna go back to stock 3.2 do I need to reset my playtime hour count? I wouldn't like to reset it. :-/
