nice. very nice. definitely going for it. OK so far gona get the sz2000 + m55x pads + cayin c5 + poweramp. should be great!!

I also run the hifimediy android tiny dac. It improves it further, the amp becomes alot more sensitive so LO gain has the power of high gain. Music sounds a bit better aswell than just using my phone. When you get used to using it then you take it away you notice the difference, maybe something your interested in I dont know

For what its worth im wanting the chird mojo in my setup to rock the sz1000 and my v modas. Ive spent some serious £££ past few weeks but I love good quality music. Some people justify spending £££ on going out every weekend whereas I would rather have awesome music constantly, go out once in a while. Suits me as I work every weekend night shift constantly anyway, may aswell spend the £ on a rewarding hobby. My other hobby is metal detecting and that aint cheap either lol

Any thoughts using Fiio E17K ALPEN 2 as a DAC+Amp to drive SZ2000? I was planning to use the E17k bass EQ options to boost the bass without having to go for software EQ boost. 
 
Trying to get an DAC+AMP that allows me to boost Bass to get the best out of these rather than having to get a Cayin C5 or other amps recommended here. I have Fiio E07k and does a great job as a DAC+AMP on my JVC DX1000, I use +10 Bass on the EQ and it does scale the DX1000 to a high fun factor, looking to go this route with E17k Alpen 2 for SZ2000.

No experience with that amp so maybe somebody else can help. Good luck !

Tested it when I was looking for my dac /amp and found it not enough powerful to make the SZ2000 sound to its full potential. Cayin c5 is in fact wonderful with it. I ended buying a ibasso d14 as I wanted something a bit smaller and it sounds marvelous but doesn't have hardware bass boost. By the way you will need eq to make the SZ2000 sound well so why are you afraid of soft eq? On Android viper4android well configured could give me better results than using c5 bass boost with no soft eq. Ability to add more subbass with soft eq... You can increase the frequencies you prefer

Finally my sz1000 got delivered hour ago. After EQ adjustments and finding my sweet spot ive got bass bang with clarity. The EQ wirks just aswell for my rock list aswell so saved the custom EQ. Still got the stock pads on, will put my brainwavz hybrids on now

Mojo with sz1000 anyone? Even though my kits brand new Im thinking of selling some stuff and replacing with the mojo

  You get the UK = European or Export version cheaper as well, price changes all the time, just look around. Or get a used one...
 
But the import version is  - apart of warranty problems - better. The UK version is called Z-Series on the can and has 24 Ohms impedance. The drivers are the same, but they added two resistors and one capacitor inside, kind of crossover. The sound difference is near zero though. Additionally the Japan version (with Live Beat printed on the can) comes with a thick leather-style bag, while the -E version comes with a super-cheap, thin and ugly soft fabrique bag.
 
Your choice...

On Amazon it's listed as a japan import version but pictures show Z Series on the headphones. Quite confused.

I ordered mine off ebay a month ago today and it came yesterday but my missus werent home to collect it. Cost me £100 didnt get custom charged either. These phones will benefit a decent carry bag, the leather style one I received is nice bud and will offer bit more protection than a super soft flimsy one

Quite normal. They never take their own pictures and just use what they find. Only the seller will know what exactly he ships.

I only buy from FBA sellers. Is it likely to be the Japan version since Amazon should inspect the shipment for matching visuals/description?

My current three headphones......
Overall ratings...
Sony MDR 100AAP - 9 / 10
JVC HA SZ1000 - 9 / 10
Audio Technica ATH WS77 - 6 / 10

 
Hey Ritu, how do you like the Sony? Are you running it amped or unamped... decent bass? Obviously won't be as strong as bass as the SZ1000, but the Sony is 7.76 oz vs JVC 16.05 oz., so probably much more travel and comfort friendly.
