Typhoons are terrible. Until you have experienced one yourself, you have no idea the destruction and delays to all the MDR-Z1R, IEM-Z1R pending to be shipped out.

Sony have been using the nichicon Gold Tune and Fine Gold since the early 2000s. My old Sony SCD-C333ES and SCD-777ES are full of that.

They are old news for sure, but I don’t like it for a reason too . I do like how the DMP is using the PML capacitors everywhere though, and that is something not everyone can do...especially when implementing Sigma-Delta architecture with powerful output

I sent my Qualia 010 to Sony Japan for a repair back in 2007ish just before the tsunami hit and had to wait for them nearly a year afterward to get the headphones back. Many times I had given the hope but fortantely, they did show up almost 10 months later. Good luck to the people of Japan.

- Will the USB-C allow Digital-out (to an external desktop DAC) and also Line-Out (to an external desktop AMP)

You can have USB-C digital out. Compatibility can't be guarantied with all devices since we can't try them all but it worked with various DAC/Amp I tried.

No line out though

I hope it sound so good that it blew dollars out of my pocket ?

thanks, this is good news . And about an iPAD app to manage the playback, and replace the small screen when at home, any hopes ?

An app to control the player would be an excellent idea.

A better idea is to cut the price in half.

and double the size of the LCD Screen...

Yes, that would be a good idea, but then it wouldn't sound so good.

Confirmed to work very well with TA-ZH1es DAC/amp and it sounds amazing.

I don't think the asking price of DMP-Z1 is out of line when you do the math on separates. A good quality DAC would cost $2K, another $2K for an amp + $2K for a good computer + $1k+ for cables to connect them all. That is almost the price of DMP-Z1.

I love the one box all-in-one solution of DMP. Because of that, the designer has total control over what comes out of the outputs to achieve the desired sound and it's ALL ABOUT the SOUND.
