You use MDR_Z1R with DMP-Z1 with high gain too ?

Regarding headphone Mysphere 3 with dmp-z1, do you think it's adapted to all kind of music ?

Can't remember if I was high or low gain with MDR but I do know I far preffered MDR on both DMP and ZM2 vs IER. (Tuning wise)

I’ve had a further reply from Sony, clarifying that they will cover all repair costs, but it does go on to warn that there could be further delays, due to logistics, so will expected April, become, May, June, July…..??

The MySphere is not quite for all kind of music. I tend to listen to vocals and acoustic and they work well. I know others who listen to classical music on the MySphere.

I see you have many headphone... Completely amazing. I know Susvara, Abyss AB-1266 are not the most suitable from dmp-z1 but have tried them with the dmp ?

I tried Diana Phi with DMP, wasn't up to the job IMO. Spoke to Abyss and they recommended a minimum 3w@50ohm. That's pretty much what influenced me to get a proper desktop rig and put DMP up for sale. Good with easy to drive, not ideal for planar.

Yes I know Abyss + Susvara and LCD5 are not very suitable to DMP. But compared to others dap, the dmp is more powerful and I read in a test :

DMP-Z1 + HiFiMAN Susvara: The most difficult headphones of this test. You'll have to prefer the high gain and the balanced output of the DMP-Z1 to affirm the functionality of these headphones. Given the features, this is to be expected. Direct Source mode is no problem, but outside of this mode the volume of the DMP-Z1 will be pushed to its limits. As a "purist" listening is more than recommended on this exceptional headphone, this is a false problem. Indeed, if some headphones can show some sound inflections that the processings of the DMP-Z1 will be able to compensate for, the Susvara is enough on its own. Listening at the right level, the pair delivers an exceptional audio experience.

That's why I am looking for someone who has this kind of headphone and tested dmp with them.

I don't think LCD-5 or 4z would be an issue, the only potential drawback you might have with 5 is DMP EQ limitation but you might be one of the few who like them stock or minimal EQ.

There aren't many active owners in this thread now, I think what Kaits said is maybe the answer to the question you're asking.

Hello there
Quick feedback (after 2 years and half of using it)
I have tested all I was able to test so far (headphones, IEM, setups) and to my taste DMP-Z1 paired with Abyss Diana TC is out of this world
(it is hard to describre, but when tears flow during a listening session (and you do not know why), it transports you into the extraordinary nature of music (as well as other expressive arts), it doesn't mean anything, but it's always difficult to put into words a feeling/an experience).
DMP-Z1 R-8/∞ heart is fully expressed (Direct Source,High Gain mode and Balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn output) every listening is joy.
Now as always it is as no value beyond adding one more personal feedback to this thread, only what you you will be listening associated with your taste make sense in the end.
