@nayparm......Do you know the size of the screws the 1A uses. I need a longer screws for the copper plates on the back.
Also the 20 gauge foil cable from Netech is a game changer, It is a massive improvement over solid core or litz cables, even better than my foil cables as it pertains to the 1A. Detail retrieval and soundstage are quite a few levels above the other 2, this is the "EASIEST" mod that I can recommend for the 1A. jUST A MUST HAVE.

I use the stock back cover screws elsewhere and gain 4 longer black or silver screws which are the perfect length for the back cover 👍

DMP Firmware plus Kaesei Capacitors plus 20 Gauge Flat Neotech OCC copper cable is a deadly combination

Hi there, great to see all old faces here and thanks much @nayparm for the invitation.
I enjoy the DMP firmware much on my modded 1A and stock 1Z. To me the improvement to 1Z is even greater, may be the WM1Z++ that I used previously in my modded 1A was great already!

I don't think the smaller guage would be bad given the short length.

And resistors - and some internal tuning, from the factory. The internal tuning thing is bringing the biggest difference in my opinion - the wider soundstage, and better bass response. beer donated MrWalkman. Great stuff. WAmadeusM.

Really appreciate it, man! 🍻 Gamerlingual just went and did a comparison between the 1Z with this custom firmware and a DMP-Z1, and he says they're really close. That's something, as I never actually heard a DMP-Z1!

The DMP-Z1 fw is louder, I must go 14 clicks less than before on my IER-Z1R

Listening to these albums which were not so well mastered and recorded. Upon using DSEE HX AI, there seems to be a bit of echo and sound less dry
