Good news! Canjam finally comes to my home town after a while...

I don't have the chance coz I don't own Sus. I tried Sus' bro - OG HE6, the combo goes quite well...

Let's get back to Primavera instead of VIVA 845 :p I find it matches very well with Abyss 1266 Phi. But not with T+A P...

Yes, with extension capability to connect to headphone amplifiers...

Thanks for sharing but it looks really very messy! I don't understand how can this VIVA845 export great sound quality with such a messy line works.

Any listening appointment in mainland China?

The review of Primavera is a great reference! Anyone here ever compared Primavera versus VIVA 845？Just plan to buy one full-size tube amp to match my abyss 1266 TC, better coping well with Utopia as well...

Thanks for the feedback & support NA Blur! I did all the steps mentioned above. The "problem" still exists. However, it's finally resolved only by adjusting the MAC sound preferences. See fotos below, since the HDVD800 itself has already the update version drive, it occurred the problem...

Dear HDVD800 users and Head-Fi friends, I am writing to check any of you have the successful experience on installing an HDVD800 into your MAC pro? I tried just a few minutes ago, connect USB with my 2015 MAC Pro (OS version most update to date), open HDVD800, unzip the firmware, install it...

Do you know when this "New" firmware was launched? Do you have a SONY official download link? I cannot download it from your Google dropbox now from mainland China. Cheers, Arthur

The iBasso 220 MAX has a good reputation for its sound performance from Audiophiles in China. However, the "User Experience" part is a BIG defect compared with DMPZ1. Or in other words, cannot compare with DMPZ1 at all.

WOW, this looks very nice. How you "laminate" the LV sticker on the button? Nicely cut!

Low gain... :)

I use DMP-Z1 to drive MDR-Z1R & UTOPIA (all in 4.4 balanced line), feeling satisfied with the sound quality and 12 o'clock position is usually the max for me.

Thanks for sharing your journey Whitigir. So is this upgrade reversible? Can you come back using the original cables when needed?

What happened with your DMP-Z1, Whitigir?

We need this "insane love" from Sato San & co. This helps produce a world-class product! And as consumers, we benefit from it.

DMP-Z1 is very very good to me. Not only sound, and engineering, but also the user experience. I like even better than the SP2000...

What a nice share! Thanks for the update Whitigir :) What's your AM model? And is it connected with speakers? If so, what's your speakers model?

Thanks Roofus for your sharing. I will have a try from my end in Shanghai. Have a nice day in Canada. Cheers, Arthur

Dear Joe, thanks for pointing out the "negativity", which I will pay attention to it. No intention to argue anything but just to point it out the sound/price value of R8 is not as good as other options. That's it. Well, I am the end-user and a music lover, who owned FiiO M15, A&U SP2K and now...

Sounds great Whitigir. Can you share your operation with a picture or some? Thanks again :)

Anybody using DMP-Z1 as DAC, and connect it with an amplifier for the hifi speaker system at home? Since DMP-Z1 has not line out, how to connect with speakers like Genelec G4/G5? Thanks in advance!

But keep in mind this R8 costs 2300USD and it is 1000 bucks more than M15 1300USD. Where are the value points from R8? I would rather wait for M17 or R8 Pro or even R10...
