Just a for everyone, something HUGE is coming... señor @MrWalkman has done it again, and this time with a vengeance (and the coolest update imo)

So excited ! Keep posted!

I wonder what that might be. Nevertheless, I'm excited!

I hope the update that provides WM1a level or near level is happening. Also, as a Mac user, whatever the issue was downloading the firmware.

Can’t wait to see ...

All I can say, you wouldn’t imagine what’s coming, I’m quite happy. Though, stay posted

When? I'm impatient.........

It’s brewing it’s brewing

Are you doing beta testing?

Maybe maybe...

OK Hands up.

Who`s now logging in twice a day (when they never used to) to see if @MrWalkman has loaded up his new F/W

It's gonna take at least one week or something.

At least some hints on what to expect?

At least some hints on what to expect?

Well, more than a hint - expect a sound signature which will resemble the one of the WM1Z, and the one of the DMP-Z1. There will be two separate installers for each of the two.

@AlexCBSN tried at least the DMP-Z1 sound signature. He could share more details about the sound, as I don't actually own the ZX300.

Wow! Great news. Will the issue of downloading the firmware to a Mac also be addressed?

Thank you, Mr Walkman, for all your effort in providing us owners such a wonderful gift, good karma!

Only if @Lookout57 wishes to further Look into it

No problemo, music is something important for some of us, and if I can do something to improve the experience, then why not

i really wanted to keep it as much of a secret as i could, truth is: new firmware scales things to another level, soundstage becomes 3d, almost like being in a helmet where all the instruments surround you, details are clear and mighty impressive with their smoothness, with dmp bass becomes something else, i feel this reverb in tracks where the lows are mixed with scrutiny (The Ocean Collective last years album, Ulver's Flowers of Evil and AOJC, Metallica's Load adn Reload (i love those 2), Pain of Salvation Panther with its impressive mix) and vocals became so ... man! you have the dude inside your head singing, stage is intimate but it has this extension... i was talking with a friend about it, this chip has been sony's flagship for years (almost 6 or 7 years if im correct?) and the potential that it has... they just put it in anything and can achieve colossal results, if mr walkman keeps going, we might have one of the best architectures in audio in front of us waitint to be exploited

Talking about improvements, I would love to see the same playback-screen of the Signature walkmans on the zx300 one day. Instantly an overview of the file type, bit rates, hi-res when it's on play (& usb out).

I have an idea, and will see if it works.
