I have JBL 305 and the speaker perform ways above its price tag. Currently hooked it to my Taurus balance preamp and r2r dac.

Try using your JBL 305 speakers direct to 1A/1Z with balanced cables and use the DSEEHX AI, how good does it sound?

Makes you wonder why Sony isn't officially incorporating DSEE HX AI into WM1 series if they are not ready to release their next flagship in 2020. It could boost the sales of their WM1 for now.

Not as good my desktop system which is overkill but it is pretty nice. Back when I had HD800, I could get the similar sound out of the speaker that's why HD800 didn't stay there long

Btw I'm using CN region and high gain. Of course, I don't think it could be compared to higher end desktop system, but considering what it is, I think its pretty good.

Haha, pity HD800, it had to go.

Interesting stuff going on here.

So in the first half of my day I had stock 1z then was missing my 1a+ . So I switched back to 1a...
Few hours later I was hmm 1a missing something not warm not bassy kinda a little boring sounding

Well decided to play with enhancements LoL
Now

Linear phade A low
Vinyl standart

And yopalay woot 1a got so much more fun and warmy
A great way to get closer 1z sound when needed!

Like 1 minute

That’s pretty good. I thought it will take much longer when you change the card as the player needed to rebuild the database.

Anyway, one minor suggestion. I instead of storing the albums in the 3 cards by composer according to the alphabetical order, you may consider to group those favourite composers in the 1TB card. cheers.

Rocking 1z stock today still on 1a+ decided to fool around with regions

When you went 1Z stock with 1A+ were your steps as follows?

1. Install FW
2. Switch to a+

Did it end there or did you reinstall the firmare?

Then you need to reinstall the 1a/1z+ 1 more time!

Dont forget
On 1z
Install
Switch to 1a
Install again and done

Ah okay! There was already a huge difference in the sound so I wasn’t sure if I should reinstall. I almost didn’t want to touch it because it sounded so good lol

Meaning you got good sound before installing the firmware a second time?

Frequently Asked Questions

- What happens if I switch the model, but then I don't install the firmware again?
Nothing wrong will happen. The sound might not be the same as if installing the firmware again though.
Feel free to experiment, but the recommendation is that you should install the firmware again after
switching the model.

Spoiler: More about this question

If you were on 1Z, and then you switch on 1A and you don't install the firmware again, the sound will mainly be the one of 1A, but it will still have slight characteristics of the 1Z sound.

Same goes if you are on 1A, then you switch to 1Z, but then you don't install the firmware again. The sound will mainly be the one of 1Z, but it will still have slight characteristics of the 1A sound.
