How’s the 507 sound quality of streaming app, example tidal, Spotify, compare to A&K SP1000?

Just got a brand new SP1000. How long shall we burn in the DAP until we can notice improvement in sound? Also, my cable is terminated in 4.4mm balanced, any good recommendation to get a 4.4mm to 2.5mm balanced adapter?

Is Sony IER-Z1R a good match with SP1000 OB? Was thinking whether it needs SP1000 amp module to release the iem full potential.

Sony IER-Z1R iem & MDR-Z1R headphone indeed is heavenly match with DMP-Z1... Sounds fantastic!!

I’m now in dilemma, whether to get ZX507 or AK SP1000M. My main usage is on Tidal streaming on the go.. Don’t know which one will give me best sound quality. Currently using Sony IER-Z1R earphone.

Anyone has tested to use NW-ZX507 as a transport (Stream Tidal) to DMP-Z1? I’m wondering whether it’s a good transport compare to using WM1A/Z.

How bout the Onyx black SP1000? Does it sounds better than SP1000Cu?

I’m actually thinking to purchase AK SP1000M to stream tidal offline since SP1000M allowed tidal offline feature. I owned a Poly but the streaming experience from my iPhone to Poly has been very disappointing. iPhone hotspot will cut off after listening to 2 to 3 tracks. Anyone own a AK SP1000...

Will the coming firmware update includes chromecast feature & also Spotify connect?
