I think it's the Z5 and ZX100


Yes, z5. I also love the sound straight of an iphone. It's just that the bass got reduced texture and slam while instrument separation also suffered.

  I'd get a decent source before, cause a Z5 on an iphone is borderline illegal

Hahaha.. How about a WM1A? If not, try shooting for a ZX100 and the cable I mentioned in the above post. Z5 goes really really well with the ZX100.

my 256GB iPhone 7 Plus is unlistenable (through Sony PHA-3 DAC/amp) compared to my Sony 1Z Walkman. My next iPhone will be the cheapest version. No more top model for me!

of course the WM1A or ZX100 would be better than an iphone, its an entire different league. The first is too expensive for me, the second lacks android, so I recently went for a FiiO X5-III. My comment was directed at @lesale08
 


Yeah, I had a chance to borrow the zx100 for a day and has no proper dap atm. :joy: Iphone alone won't let the z5 sing.

[COLOR=111111]think bad, then don't forget to buy +amp, because the player will not pump these headphones.[/COLOR]
ZX100 is more than capable to make you deaf using Z5 with the upgraded SE cable. There's no end for an amp here.
