when a Headphone/IEM is engineered well, like my M7 it would scale well with an excellent source ? And when the HP/IEM is flawed like the fiio FA7 (bassy signature and veiled) it wont scale or improve with a good source f.e. DMP-Z1

Are you asking if your M7 will scale with a DMP-Z1? If so, yes, it should. I haven’t heard an M7 but my M9 certainly does scale up with DMP-Z1. Main improvements I hear (compared to my WM1Z) is a greater sense of soundstage space and instrument separation. Each note sounds like it’s rendered in its own space inside the image without any sort of congestion or muddiness. There is a pitch black background between each note, compared to WM1Z which exhibits a bit more noise and fuzziness. Bass hits harder and fuller with greater texture however it does sound a little less forward than WM1Z. I find M9 bass can sound a little uncontrolled and slow with WM1Z by comparison. Vocals sound lifelike with a more natural timbre. Treble has excellent clarity and sparkle, and generally sounds more refined compared to WM1Z.

my question was more of if DMP can improve or rather fix a flawed HP/IEM like the fiio FA7 which ti me sounded too bassy and veiled lacking detaila sounding extremely veiled (hence i returned it and gor sony M7 instead)
I weote to Johnny from Accessory Jack inquiring how much of a deal on a DMP.
he replied back
Thank you very much for your inquiry.
DMp-Z1will be discontinue very soon. Since it is too big and too heavy, the shipping fee is ultra expensive. So we took it out from our product offering. Regards, Johnny
is he talking about stopping offering it in their shop specifically? not sure if the DMP will be discontinued any time soon, especially in Japan. as that's really where the enthusiast crazy enough to use the DMP and bring it around everywhere exist.

Some say the DSD remastering of the TA-Z1ES is not a night and day difference.
the DSD-RE on the DMP did a difference with 16-bit 44.1kHz FLAC (Haydn the complete symphonies/Decca/Antal Dorati & Philharmonia Hungarica. Vivaldi concerti e Cantate da Camera I-III/Naive/L’Astree consort). With 24-bit flac above 44.1KHz i noted a refinement in the sound (vivaldi concerti per Fagotto Iii &. IV/Naive/Sergio azzolini —— Vivaldi concerti per arch II /Naive/Il Pomo d’Oro — vivaldi conxerti pe violinist VIII/Naive/Concert de la Loge).
with resampled DSD there was not a difference to my ears. Original files are DSD 2.8224MHz album in particular is Charpentier: a la Chapelle royal di Versailles/Alia Vox/Capella real de Catalunya - Jordi Savall) converted to FLAC 24-bit 88.2kHz for compatibility issues with NW-A25 DAP
@Whitigir dbPowerAmp release 17.3 suite now converts to DSD all the way to 512. Have not tewted it how good it is but the older DSD decoder only resampled DSD to PCM very transparent
