I guess m2 Walkmans are not as easy to change region back like on m1. On some tracks, both of my 1A and 1Z can barely drive Arya.

Late for two new DAP party! looking forward for test in person if I have a chance.

Eclipse R2 for NW-WM1Z >> Link Please follow the included instructions! Unlike other previous versions, This one is tuned with my new upgrade cable. The old cable makes everything sound thick and heavy. Also colored Mid a bit. So it's not an ideal for making tune.

Eclipse is just a tune. It doesn't contain firmware file so the progress bar on your 1Z will end almost instantly. It's normal.

Yes. I don't see why not. I ran this tune countless times.

This update process is very much the same to official Sony update. It rarely happen. If it get stuck and not automatically reboot by itself, just hold down power button for 10 seconds and your Walkman will turn right back on again.

As far as what the tune sound like on my gears. It's a mix of FEv2 and Dawn. High is somewhat similar to Dawn and the rest are more like FEv2. I hope this answer you question. better revision tune will be release later as soon it's ready.

I have already found the issue of current release Eclipse. The tune works excellent for my 1z and 1a with hardware MODs but not for other OEM players. I believe those HW MODs dramatically changed my Walkmans sound big time. Back to drawingboard lol. Sad but true. Eclipse is based on 8x2-bit...

I may also make the tune on top of custom fw since there is no newer release so far. I just don't want to start the project and by the time I finished, it's already become obsolete because R&D will be up to 3 months to finish.

Yes, only mod for sound quality. I would be happy to add all those features for you but since MrWalkman does not share how he be able to decrypt the firmware so no one else that I know of can customize the firmware. After run official update 4 time, sound quality of you Walkman will be fully...

The thread is dedicated for Non-custom tune firmware. Everyone are welcome. Let me introduce the tune. Eclipse II for NW-WM1Z/WM1A >> Link R&D for the project is 600+ hours. It was a very difficult task to self-understanding how binary tune works since there is no information about it out...

Just install official update once if you want to go stock or just go ahead install any mod firmwares if you like. After "return to stock" from any mod firmwares, the walkman may sound a bit more toward north of neutral overall. Not quite as spacious, airy or sweet sounding. Install 3.02 update...

In theory, yes, it will work. You are welcome to try. Mr Walkman firmware has some improvement over the OEM sound profile already. An already warm sounding firmware mix with another warm tune on top might be too much of the good thing. You know what I mean. I haven't try it myself.
