Generally, I think it does. But also, that depends on the whole lineup. I love both and both have great synergy with SPL Phonitor XE.so how does the Z1R handle sub bass? Better than fostex?

I think it's not that simple.50 mm driver vs 70 mm driver says enough...
I have the Z1R and my brother a 909 (the open counterpart), the sub are deeper on the former, and more textured. With a test signal at 40 Hz, raising the volume will distort the Fostex first. Sure, isn't the 900, but the driver is the same.I think it's not that simple.
I very briefly tried the TH900 MK2. My impression was they seemed to be more V-shaped with very deep sub-bass and extended treble. The Z1R doesn't disappoint for sub-bass, but if you want to take it to another level those Fostex might be for you. To me they made the Z1R seem more balanced.so how does the Z1R handle sub bass?

It's more or less the same how I felt it, too.*I didn't compare side by side, I purchased the Z1R a couple of months later.
That's high praise indeed comparing to ZMF's on OTL. I too can't get over how good it sounds and is elevated though DMP-Z1.And I'm finding that it's worthwhile finding what it synergizes with. I already liked it with the TT2 or Violectric, enough to get me curious about pairing it with Sony's own TA-ZH1ES. Not disappointed, although not necessarily better, just a different flavor in that pairing.
But then I had the luck (knock on wood) to happen upon a DMP-Z1. I realized from the first track that this unit takes the Z1R to a higher level of performance. The sound grows, it's more impactful, it becomes immersive and addictive. The vocals gain an organic quality. I didn't think the Z1R can compete in these attributes with something like ZMFs on an OTL amp. I'm surprised.
