It was also weird to me in that region it can be IEM Region and SE output related so take with agrain of salt i was wanting to feedback this one but no one cares my opinion but its really a good firmware and it has a character of its own...and no i dont look for better... 3.00 chameleon its the best for me, so thanks
I still love it but if you return any stock fw on 1A especially 2.0 . Just focus mid range you can hear the difference. The rest is definitely worse but the mid range is better, real

No, this is a way for you to recognize the problem with mid range on MK2 version. I never hear only mid i love 3d, the balance and natural sound. Many thanks

I’m mean if we were to be following different members personal sound signature trajectories; it would look like a road map.
Some are going north, some driving east. The guy driving south doesn’t see any value to be ever going north or east. He simply doesn’t like that area. Of course the people driving have past history in those locations. They like to visit as stuff is familiar and known.
You love this version and i also love it and i respect you. But i just feedback to help it better. I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong. Thanks

I’m not sure there is perfection in audio? I guess we all have perfect moments? And if those perfect moments get spread out into perfect days then perfect weeks then it’s something to be grateful for.
In someone’s collection of gear there may even be different IEMs or headphones which display a flaw, yet as a whole we still cherish them. I really think I don’t own perfect gear. The IER-Z1R could have the mids moved forward and up a slight notch? Yet some only say the issue is with male vocals and really not all vocals. To me Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin and Frank Sinatra both share the same placement yet they have totally different voices. But......in the end I accept it all as there are so many gifts in other areas that I end in distraction? The IER-Z1R is my favorite IEM. It’s still a favorite even though it’s not perfect. Then my other favorite is the Noble Audio K-10 Encore. It’s the antithesis of the IER. It’s not perfect and actually maybe likes to be a challenge to the audio world with a very wild non-conformance attitude. Yet parts of what the Encore does IS perfect. The Encore has better midrange than the IER, so they complement each other.
That’s what Head-Fi is for.....for the sharing of opinion. There is no doubt that each person may want a slightly different response. What’s amazing is each person has a different ear canal. So the difference from the IEM tip to the ear drum will be different for each listener. Small differences in this place mean every IEM will sound different for each person regardless of how balanced the DAP tone is. The best we can hope for is to share impressions as without public impressions life would be like living in a bubble and the group effort and judgment dynamic would be lost. Critical ideas about MK2 are valuable.
I just wish 100% of the thread was a happy as I with the tune. I mean it’s been a rough road starting in 2017 when almost all the Sony Firmware was lacking or spotty. Then we received the tune types now we get full on DMP-Z1 emulation so it’s this whole new level. Though I can see why people like Sony 2.0 as no matter what detail is unearthed, there has and always will be emphasis on tone.

Agree totally with you. I respect all of things you said. But if you try IER Z1R in JP market, you maybe think differently . The mid range and the bass is very crazy but the treble isn't as well as the Z1R normal

It's easy - try to listen to the music with and without DSEE HX. If you hear a difference, decide which way you prefer. If you don't hear any difference, leave it off.
MK2 rock and loaded now !!
So far it seems to bring the 3D effect of WM1Z+ with the refinements of MK1 together, also treble is more smoother and easy on the ears.
First impressions are extremely positive, and looking forward to spend more time with it.
As always, thank you @MrWalkman
