Dawn (v2) 介绍原文
This update wouldn't be possible without the generous donation of a WM1A from Nayparm (after having to sell mine). Check out his website,
http://www.npaudio.uk, for hardware modifications for WM1A/Z, and more!
Updates:
- a settings file can now be found in the Internal Storage (in the "CFW" folder), allowing you to set various things (details below);
- a boot log file is available for the settings system, to check if the settings file is read correctly and all the values are valid (in the same "CFW" folder);
- a new Plus mode is available; choose your desired Plus mode version in the settings file;
The new Plus mode should consume less battery than the old Plus mode, and
it should sound better. One little downside of the new Plus mode is that when using the BT Receiver mode or the USB DAC mode, the screen needs to stay on, otherwise the audio can glitch on some of the players. Just reboot the player if it happens, by holding the Power button for 8 seconds.
- a new region is now available (KR3); you can set this region through the settings file;
This region doesn't exist in the destination tool.
- setting the device to the CEW2 region will not apply a volume limit anymore;
- the DMP-WM1 FEv2 tuning is also available now, besides the Dawn tuning.
Features:
- sound signature more suitable for dark-sounding headphones (not mandatory);
- three boot modes: "Normal", "Plus v1", and "Plus v2" (find settings for these in the settings file);
- native DSD playback over the 3.5 mm output;
- DSEE AI (present on DMP-Z1);
- visualizations more in sync with the music;
- progressive JPEG and interlaced PNG album covers are supported;
- showing a battery "charging/needs charging" image when the player cannot turn on anymore if the battery is too low.
• The settings file includes options like:
- choosing the region of the player;
- choosing if you'd like to have the remote option with any region (not just J/E);
- choosing between the Plus v1 mode or the Plus v2 mode;
- choosing if you'd like to boot into the chosen Plus mode by default or not;
- choosing between standard/stock gain, or higher gain;
- choosing to initialize the DAC normally or "differently";
- choosing the color of the icons on the "Home" page of the player.
• If you delete the settings or the boot log file, they will be created automatically
at the next boot. The settings file can be edited with any basic text editor, like
Notepad, or Notepad++. After editing the settings file and saving it, turn off the Mass Storage mode before rebooting the player.
• For more info about the available settings, just open the settings file and read it.
• Having the settings system means that the destination tool cannot be used
anymore to change the region, as the system always makes sure that the region
on the device matches the one set in the settings file.
• While the remote option is On, the actual region shown by the destination tool will not be the one set in the settings file (which is intended). Still, the region set in the settings file will be the one used for the sound. If you decide to use StockRevert, and you have the remote option set to On, you should first set the remote option to Off, reboot the player, and then use StockRevert. Otherwise, the device region will be E after using StockRevert (which you can then easily change with the destination tool).
Boot modes:
"Normal" - provides the normal "Dawn" sound signature;
"Plus v1" - adds improved rendition of this sound signature (a more accurate and balanced sound, with better controlled bass, improved detail retrieval, better soundstage holography, more present mids), at the expense of additional battery usage;
"Plus v2" - a slightly different flavour of the Plus v1 mode (should consume less battery than the Plus v1 mode).
• The boot mode is selected by using the Hold button on the side of your player when the player is booting.
• By default, the "down" position of the Hold button is for the "Normal" mode, while the "up" position is for the chosen "Plus" mode (choose it in the settings file).
• You can switch the position of the Hold button in relation to what it does, in the settings file.
• You can check the current boot mode by going into the "Unit information" menu in Settings.
