Did Sony have the DMP-Z1 and the IER-Z1R with a balanced cable available to demo?

Last year they didn't have a balanced cable for the IER-Z1R so I couldn't compare it to my other IEMs.

Here is the pic of 2go and 2yu in action with Chord Amp. The bundle will definitely cost close to 1500. Don't see the point of it for desktop use unless you have Hugo2 as Pi based solution, digione signature and Pi2AES, are ruling streaming world

Do pay visit to this Stack if you are in ZMF room
ECP DSHA-3F or Glenn OTL With Metrum Onyx fed by Ambre. Easily one of the best in show

This one was unique for HD800, a full DSP engine

Have to say this one was impressive with HD6XX. This is not launched yet but will come in drop. In case you are wondering it is fully balanced and has a switch with HD6XX DSP

Look at this wallpaper on SONY new DAPs

Also liked this Solid state Amp from Headamp
GSX MINI. Plenty of power and smooth. Had nice pairing with Qutest. Not in the class of DSHA 3F but close to it. It has nice features as well.

Any idea how it compares to the recently-released iFi Zen DAC? Price / sound differences? (with non-6xx headphones)

I'm going back tomorrow again. I didn't listen to ZEN DAC today. Will try out tomorrow. I asked IFI about the difference and they told me that ZEN DAC also has inbuilt amp in it and this one has separate amp and DAC with balanced in and out and is more suitable for HD6XX series.

Can someone please get hold of a HiBy R8 dap and list the specs here. DAC, amps, power output, price, anything and everything...
Only one I saw was on display by MusicTeck. Unfortunately not much in the way of details. He said HiBy hasn’t revealed much. Only thing shared is what’s already publicly available. Snapdragon 625, Android 9, 4G SIM card support. It has dual 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs, one pair for headphones and one pair for line out. It wasn’t connected to WiFi so I couldn’t stream anything and the loaded SD card only had a couple of dozen albums, mostly red book but some albums were lossy. It sounded nice from a quick listen.

UI was very sleek/fast (not much loaded on there). Volume knob appeared to be faulty. Sometimes you spin it and it adjusts fine, but other times it would spin for a while with no increase or decrease registering. I chalked that up to it being a prototype though. It’s big. Bigger and heavier than the FiiO M15, but felt good in hand and well built overall.

Any update on announcement or release date?

I’m not an IEM guy but do suggest some nice IEM to check out in the show. Will spend time with them.
