Yes I have switched back and forth from original stock 3.02 to WM1A/z and chameleon and I like chameleon best. And chameleon works best with the new update that’s coming out real soon as it’s the closest to the stock 1Z sound you can get. I’ve been using it for the past 4-5 days and it’s amazingly surreal. The soundstage, the deep bass and the overall nuances. Takes the 1A to a whole new level. Not subtle. Very much significant and absolutely blissful. Wait for it!

Thanks for this you guys...so lemme find Chameleon right now! I initially liked the 1A/Z+ tuning but after awhile it was just 'meh' and needed to punch things up.

 

[aceedburn]

me too. I thought, my WM1A was running on WM1AZ+...but then I detected that it was on chameleon running as 1Z.... I experimented half a day and finaly I switched back to 1Z on chameleon. indeed very deep bass and a holistic soundstage. I am quite happy with that...

will new FW be a further improvement???

The new update further elevates the sound. Yes indeed. It’s unbelievable. But you have to be on chameleon and switched to 1Z to get the full effect of what I’m experiencing. It’s a another level. Oh and I have only dsee hx AI and phase lineariser type B low switched on. It’s magic with this combination I described above. After the new update of course.

In this case you probably not to use smart phone as the apps take more profile about you.

I use a dumb phone.
Light phone 2..
I am also trying to stay off the internet as much as possible nowadays...
The news is crazy, and constant negativity that you have absolutely no control over is best avoided.
Almost everything in the news nowadays is a total scam, nothing is what it seems, and a smart phone is your personal window into this complete madness.
Quite a few people I know are getting off the smart phone bandwagon.

Might it require extra work to have it work?

Bruh...im with you on this. This is why I use daps..early on in my journey, I kept getting interrupted by updates, emails, texts etc. And I noticed on my commuter bus that everyone was doing the same crap like lemmings...thats when I made the break to separate my music from my phone for the better. I enjoy music listening on my commutes, at work and at coffeeshops alot more now.

Also just downloaded Chameleon...all I can say is wow. Its way better than 1A/1Z+..man, Im gonna hook Mr. Dub with more beer at the end of the week. This is night and day difference from the other mods.

So big on MrWalkman 1A/1Z+.

This is also one of the reasons why I love the 1A. It's a simple player, and you can just get lost in the music, no beeps/bops, internet connections, interruptions...and with the extended battery, it is the only player to take with you out into nature.
40 hours on a single charge, perfect for camping.

Indeed - as well as the spatial cues being on an absolutely different level, the first thing I noticed after switching to the new version was that the tonal balance shifted too - not really sure how to describe it other than it "tightening up"...

It is undoubtedly a sideline bonus, yet another thing for me is that with the improved soundstage, detail retrieval seems to have increased.

Extra work? Don’t quite get what you mean mate?

Very much agree it's simply gone way too far and mostly driven by corporate greed. I do have an Android based DAP, equally it rarely gets used, the very last thing I want is yet another device with an OS designed first and foremost for the harvesting of personal information. WM1A/Z only presents one thing to the listener high quality music reproduction. Should Sony drop that simple premise, I will drop Sony...

A high end DAP should explicitly be about music, not data acquisition and that's what Google is all and only about...

Like you install the FW, then Chameleon for it to fully work besides whatever the next steps are after Chameloen?

Very impressive indeed for those who are fans of Chameleon, safe to say the new update is going to ever more popular, as the signature can and does take your breath away...

@Queen6 beat me to the punch, yes - for those of us that have tested this there has been an extra (easy) step, this will I’m absolutely sure, be integrated in the next release from @MrWalkman

even if I’m wrong / it cannot be done (which I doubt!), it’s super easy, even for us on a testing level.
