    Very curious to know as I guess you are also running FDX01 out of ZX300

    @Mystic @Ksaurav402 It sounds very clear and well extended, with a surprising amount of layering and very clean bass. I feel like there’s better decay on notes as well. It’s a notable improvement over the stock or previous FE sound.

    The new firmware allows you to choose if you want the previous FE sound or the new one on startup. The new Plus sound uses more battery but it sounds excellent.

    Only been using it for a couple hours but it really does make you go "Sony WTF". Sounds super dynamic now, though maybe not as smooth.

    So I installed new firmware and there is definite improvement in dynamics and separation.Clarity has improved and easier to pick each individual instrument in the mix

    @Ash1412 Not as smooth, but by the same token not as smoothed over.

    I always preferred Mojo with FDX01 as I found it little boring out of ZX300 with damped filter but this new firmware has tipped the scale in favour of Sony and it is available for free.

    @Ksaurav402 I’m finding this update makes the ZX300 the best DAP I’ve personally owned.

    100% agree, Mr. Walkman's firmware gives the WM1A more manly balls.

    Oh shit they did the Plus update on the WM1A. I got to try that one out tomorrow.

    @YMO I’m extremely interested to hear how you feel the Plus update changes the sound of the 1A. I wish I could compare a ZX300 and a 1A with the Plus firmware.
