Whitigir, go get a vannuys case with a peak design camera strap and you are ready to go https://www.vannuys.co.jp/official/new_item/vd956-vd957/

Hope you enjoined your new machine Tuning EQ is responsive and fun on Z1

Oh yes, I just checked with Jaben HK owner I made a mistake, Titan limited to 10 and the new EST Ti limited to 9

Maybe give the Sony EX11 tips or JVC Spiral Dot a try I fit it with my Titan + Creator cable and works well A few months back, Jaben HK have exclusive sale of Titan limited to 20 units (if I remember) and it come with Creator Cable Silver 4

I guess sales at Sony Ginza store don't represents overall sales at Japan, there are Sony online shop and chain store like e-earphone, yodobashi. Also DMP-Z1 seems doing good at China, hard to say it is a success or fail at this moment.

There is a on / off button to awake , right to the knob Also can set the time of screen auto off in the option menu

Don't know who many units sold at HK / China, fact is all 3 units at Jaben HK sold within a day and not much stock on the HK market now I guest around 20 units sold in HK at launch?

His reply is so misleading, just don't want others head-fier disappointed

The IER-Z1R demo IS NOT AVAILABLE any where, anytime, okay? only when Sony JAPAN wanted to do some "sneak peek demo" also to collect feedback from HK's user I had to fill in a questionnaire after the demo in JabenHK Each shop only have a demo section of 5 - 6 hours and those demo unit cycle...

Tried at the store using an OTG cable connecting SP1000 with ZH1ES micro USB port sometime it works and sometime don't with AK380 works every time seems the new OS system on SP1000 is not very stable

Friendly reminder The 4.4 is a JEIT standard - RC-8141C Pentaconn is just a brand name, and all parameters are open to anyone. http://www.ndics.com/en/products/pentaconn/ (but the U sharped female jack seems patented though)

I have a few converter made with Bispa jack and they work extremely well imo. Honestly, nobody would expect the Bispa plug have the same quality as Pentaconn OFC, but it only cost around 15 USD or so and it is precisly made in Japan, why not? Upper Bispa , below Pentaconn OFC

i recommend the Bispa if you want some affordable also well made 4.4 plug https://bispa.co.jp/1728 http://www.e-earphone.jp/shopdetail/000000112507/ this maker 'to-pura' OEM for Sony and NOBUNAGA Labs and so http://www.to-pura.com/index.html made in Japan, quality ensured the same plug are...

owned a few cable with Furutech rhodium plated plug, they are harder to solder on and go off easier than gold plated one not only effect audio put some heat glue in the heat shrink, the local repair workshop here in HK also do

ZX300 have USB-DAC mode and can use with Android phone You may take a look on the ZX300 thread if interested

Try pair with ZX300

Using the furutech 3.5mm for my Z1R and it lock just fine

Thanks for reply! Don't know USB TYPE-C can do analog out Although I do agree with purk that Sony should include a TRRRS for line out at the rear panel, the USB-C port seems not a good way to do pre-amp out

Don't they are using DAC chips inside the adaptor to do analog out? Like the Apple's audio adaptor

Do OLED nowadays still have burn mark problem? Also does it consume less power than TFT panel? Also, a big touch display panel means greater power consumption also adding a weak point on the surface, so I don't see the point using a big touch panel on a music playback only machine, but I do hope...

The volume knob should be gold plated OFC, not aluminum if I didn't misunderstand the Japanese. The body is aluminum though. Maybe @nanaholic can confirm on this

Tried IER-Z1R, M7 & M9 M7 & M9 fit the best and the Z1R also fit much better than EX1000 to me

There are click sound on my WM1Z 4.4 jack (tried with my Justear MH2 & Fitear AIR) from vol 10-25 and 60-85 also on the 3.5 jack (with my Final audio LAB1 and campfire Andromeda) from vol 20-90 pulse any music and change the volume, will notice it if listen carefully at quiet place the click...
