To be honest I'd look at other DAPs if bright and analytical is your preference. Unfortunately I've never heard any bright DAP (to my ears) so I've got no suggestions but I'm sure others will be able to help.
Out of the ones I've tried BB OPA627AU was very good. Muses02 had the best clarity with better separation and not as bassy. I like that one the best.I mean: more airy sound with higher detail retrieval. Relatively brighter but not bright per se

Get the LME49720NE, it makes the Z1 airier and more analytical.which op amp should I get for a brighter analytical sound ?
For me the LME49720NE works really nice and quite flat, not much of a bass-punch here. It sounds quite airy, guitar strings ring very nicely. I wouldn't call it analytical but very pleasing and clear.I mean: more airy sound with higher detail retrieval. Relatively brighter but not bright per se

And on another note: My Walnut V2 arrived today and I find it really good and nice but a bit too dark and imho it doesnt have enough resolution and clarity. The Z1 is better in this field (especially with the LME49720NA).
After giving it another listen I would have to agree with you the 4972 is less woolly in the lower registers and has better separation all around enhancing the top end. The 2604 worked great with my Grado SR80e, thinking 4972 might be too bright for the SR80e.Alright here are my findings about a couple of OPAMPs.
The OPA2460 is definitely an improvement over the stock one. It improves clarity and gives it a punchy bass. Sounds really nice however I found the LME49720NA to have even better clarity and a less boomy bass then the stock one and than the OPA2460. I kept the LME49720NA in mine and I'm gonna do a side by side comparison with my Oppo HA-2 this weekend.
btw, after all the hype about the VE Monks+ I have to say I find them good, certainly for 5$ earbuds, but overall they're okay... Just not as "hifi, audiophile" whatever as some people describe it.
I did. I liked it very much. Look at my post a few pages back. I decided to put it in something else though, where I could hear it's proficiency better.Did anyone try the V5i in the Zishan yet? To me this is the most superior op amp in the Walnut but unfortunately my Zishan doesn't work properly so I can't use the V5i in it.

I think he meant 2604.Where are you sourcing the OPA2460?
You mean bad synergy with z1? Or you didn't tried yet?ad8620 has most airy and detailed sound i ever listened with various headamps but not with Z1..
What kind of improvement did you notice?Just ordered 3 of the LME49270HA for the Z1. Absolutely fantastic pairing with the ZS3.
