Till yesterday I was thinking to get a turntable (PS-HX500) and start to buying vinlys, but now I think sticking to red books, and continue updating my HiRes library audio files, BUT upgrade my current gear.
 
Im from Argentina and I do really dont have so many choices here, and I really love Sony brand.
 
Currently I have this:
CMT-SX7
SRS-X99
MDR-100AAP
 
Im looking for something balanced and warmth, and here is what I can get:
MDR-7506 (Read that is something harsh at the high end and can be somewhat painfull for long sessions althought they sound great)
MDR-1R (Id only wish I could get the 1A. Heard that the cushion pads peels off)
MDR-1RBT (Id use it wired and keep the BT for the go)
MDR-Z7 (If I buy this im out of money xD)
 
I don´t really know, cant try any headphones here at stores, they dont allow you saddly, so I cant compare.
If you tell me that I should keep the MDR-100AAP because they already are the best option I could spend the cash to buy a DAP (3 Options here)
 
1- NW-A25HN
2- NW-A25HN + PHA-1A
3- NW-ZX2 (Again, If I buy this im out of money)
 
Im open to any advice, guidance and options.
 
Thanks a lot!

I lived in Argentina for a year,and yes the selection and prices of gear is real bad,but why the affinity for Sony gear?

They make some nice TVs and such,but there are many other companies making great headphones,not to mention Sony customer service is absolutely the worst.

Perhaps @Me x3 can assist you.

For the moment being its my most affordable choice.
I payed U$600 for the X99 and U$500 for the CMT-SX7.
Those prices ara a bargain here. Alternatives with similar specs starts from U$700

Customer service here is kinda good if you want to replace or exchange a product.
