Just run the stock revert and stock tuning revert files in the project z package before installing the FEv2 firmware followed by the tuning file for FEv2 as well.

Thanks. So plug in player, left click "Reverting to stock firmware".....i think i'm going to wait for the new firmware, before trying FEv2 ?

The new update further refines both fev2 and project z. Quite significantly. You may wait for it but if your curiosity gets the better of you, go ahead and load fev2 right away. It’s amazing too.

I just plugged in NWA50 with A50-FE classic via line out adapter to my ifi iCan nano - the improvements are even bigger and I see now this player is gimped by it's headphone out unfortunately, which sounds hazy/grayish in comparison. via the ifi it's close to mind blowing; warm, full bodied, refined and clear, akin to a desktop setup (utilising my Sony IERm7).

Are you saying that there's another mode coming?

The new update for fev2 and project z is the feather on the cap, the icing on the cake. Its a fine tune of sorts and adds warmth in a way that never muddies the mix. It opens up the soundstage yet a little and beefs up the entire mix by way of richness, fullness and cohesiveness. It sounds perfect to my ears. Every frequency is detailed yet full and bass is super deep and tight yet envelops you even more.Naural, Enjoyable and plain music heaven. I’m on the project z camp and i think this new update makes it an absolute, for me at least. It’s really amazing. @MrWalkman , oops you did it again mate!

Totally agree here. I have to quote you #aceedburn, I don't have your way with words. But I changed to Project Z after a couple of hours and now it feels "like home"! FEv2 is absolutely fantastic and very audiophile, but I do miss a little fun, so luckily we have Project Z. And it hits all the right buttons in my world! Analog and with a great sound too. Can it get any better from here? Well, you have surprised me more than once, Mr.Walkman! Thank you for this! (heart)

When I first listen songs with Project Z plus, I had this nostalgic feel and reminds me of my past, makes me feel emotional.

It's actually an update for both firmwares and for both modes of each firmware.

Was it WMport-->3,5mm or WMport-->USB?

 

[MrWalkman]

Was it WMport-->3,5mm or WMport-->USB?

ifi iCan nano has only a 3.5 stereo input.

 

[emilsoft]

ifi iCan nano has only a 3.5 stereo input.

WMport-->RCA (ifi ican nano has also rca input).

I have a nice custom wmport to rca cable from my ZX2 which I utilised.

Really looking forward to this

Looking forward to hearing from you. Really really interested with it. Hope it coming soon .

Using Sony's own Hi-Res Audio player software with NWA50 in DAC mode gives further refinement and focus... Side by side with a Chord Qutest, it's happily trading punches! Qutest comes out on top with a bit more naturalness and clarity, but not by a massive margin. I'm gobsmacked... unless my ears failing me, this is the deal of the century thanks to Mr Walkman and Sony.

The moment when you see a few pages more from this thread than the last time you checked, you know @MrWalkman has something better for you once again
Looking forward to once again another great update!!
