I'm very interested in Iso Regen and Singxer UIP-1. Seems that these two use similar way to deal with the usb signal. The pre-order price of Singxer UIP-1 is $234 which is a bit cheaper than Iso Regen if considering the LPS-1 bundle. Hope there will be a review of UIP-1 soon so that I can make...

Mine is Arcane, the silvergarde s(not s2) is too bright for my me.   Arcane/Z1R is perfect combo IMO, bass is punchier than silvergarde s(silvergarde s have more detail tho, or I should say easier to notice all the detail)

That also makes me confused.   My friend cut stock cable and try to replace 6.3mm jack with a 4pin XLR.   He told me that there is no shielding inside the cable, and the wires are extremely thin.   I also compare the stock cable with T1's stock cable, the latter one is the clear winner.  ...

Norne audio Arcane.

Schiit yggy and kevin gilmore dynahi.   What I really like about Z1R is the powerful bass, it's more enjoyable and fun.   As for T1, it perform pretty well in all genre, but it lacks of characteristics(ilke soundstage of HD800, bass of Z1R)   Both HP are great, but Z1R is more fit for my...

I recently bought Z1R as my end game(and sold t1 2nd gen.)   I gotta say that both kimber and stock cable are terrible, too dark and the bass is a bit overwhelming.   Just bought a silver/copper hybrid cable for Z1R, and both top/bottom end extension are back!    The bass is tighter and...

norne audio silvergarde s

Silvergarde s reduce a bit warmth(only a bit IMO) of Z1R and make it a more neutral headphone.   And Z1R become more picky about the recording quality with silver s, but I think the silver s does bring Z1R to another level.

Well, pretty simple, because silvergarde s is under my budget :)   And the silvergarde s seems to have more bass while silver draug have better treble extension (not sure where I read this impression)   I believe these two are both excellent cables, you can't go wrong with either one.

Just got my silvergarde s for my Z1R yesterday.   Very impressive sounding, the bass is tighten and the treble extension is better!   And the craftsmanship is top notch!   Just beating the stock cable in every aspect.

Just got my silver cable for my Z1R yesterday.   Very impressive sounding, the bass is tighten and the treble extension is better!   Just beating the stock cable in every aspect.

I had the same concern until I bought a large gauge silver cable(mine is 21awg, so 20awg might even better!).   The small gauge silver cable do reduce the amount of bass, but large gauge silver don't.   Z1R with silver cable is just amazing! Better top/bottom extension, tighter bass(but...

wow!! looking forward to see the full review of these TOTL HP!!

Well, I think if the headphone with a very nice stock cable, then there is no need to change that. Because the stock cable usually is the part of sound signature that the manufacturer want you to heard. I wouldn't say "tiny" difference in Z1R's case because the stock cable is poor. And I...

Just don't understand why some people said that the stock cable is good. For me the stock cable is pretty bad actually, lacks of treble extension and the bass is a bit loose. Japanese headphones are usually with pretty decent cable(like th900, d7000 etc), so I just don't understand why sony...
