the new J3 fw shared a few posts earlier has fixed the usb delay thing ?
No idea about that sorry. It wasn’t mentioned in the changelog.

Good evening everyone. Can you help me?

There are many forums about the SONY NW-WM1Z, and so much information is difficult.

I bought NW=WM1Z 20 days ago, found out about "MrWalkman", installed it successfully.

"Walkman_One_(WM1)_(21_09)
.zip 568.4 MB, I set it to (Japan, Bright and Plus 2 )

Downloaded from the official website from this link

https://mega.nz/file/CnJyCTIA#27UFrtvdhjdBC4zkbJGnAilYxi4z_5ww9n6mVKYjRtY

1- Are there other firmware options besides MrWalkman that are worth it?

2 - Does not appear "J3"
Just these:

[Region]

# Available regions from the destination tool:
# J, U, U2, U3, CA, CEV, CE7, CEW, CEW2, CN, KR, E,
# MX, E2, MX3, TW

I installed from this link, everything is exactly as in the last file available on the official website... Do not add J3
J3 is supported, it’s just not mentioned in the comments in the settings file. Just type J3 in the region setting and reboot the player

MrWalkman is the only one who has made a custom fw. There are before him quite a few custom tunings from other members (that is what started it) and there are earlier versions og MrWalkman’s fw if you can find them (I have probably 80-90% of all tunings and fw available including all official and unofficial stock fw versions from Sony)

Just type J3 into the region field. It is supported.

If you delete the setting file on reboot when it gets recreated it will show J3 on the test version.

Question. Is there any possibillities to controll the wm1a trough my android phone via Bluetooth? Just seems like a waste buying the remote, especially when it double or mre in price...

To my knowledge nobody over the 6 years have been able to get anything other than Sony’s own remote to work

J3 has great crazy synergy with 7 Hertz Timeless, great textured bass, great depth,extremely holographic, great great dynamics and even better separation. Wow, I’m falling in love with listening again. This is on high gain, PMV 2. Performance is probably comparable to Fir Neon 4, which is a great feat
You're not alone on your thoughts re the synergy - there is something so seriously special between the player and the IEMs that nothing else I have can touch - it is quite quite mesmerising, and makes the Timeless seem pretty darned perfect, I honestly cannot find anything wrong with them.

Yeah I do like the Timeless with my WM1Z mod and the Walkman One fw. For me they're a keeper.
