Looks well designed but no, for me the DMP Z1 is something I will carry between different rooms in my house, or to office, this is too hardcore.
Maybe some lite MotoCross - you know- typical scenarios

I know for a fact that one of the Sony engineer Sato-san uses this case to carry his Z1 to the office everyday.

He should have one at home and another at the office.

Anyone else like the Stellia with dmp-z1 ( or I guess any dap/dac/amp) over the mdr z1r ?

Getting curious about moving outside the signature series but keeping similar (non just reference, but fun) sound/ making even better

Me, Me, ME (raising and flapping hand so vigorously as to fall out of chair)!

I had the privilege of trying out both the Focal Stellia and the Sony MDR-Z1R of @Wooglish on his Sony DMP-Z1 at last Saturday’s Seattle headphone meet. It immediately cured my aspiration to get a Z1R (and replaced it with a compulsion to get an even-more-expensive Stellia!)

May be ... ZMF Verite Closed + DMP Z1 > Stellia + DMP Z1 ? :smile_phones:

I think you will love it. The Stellia matches quite well with the Z1. Don’t expect Z1R sense of scale and space though.

In addition to me, wooglish, whose Stellia, DMP-Z1, and MDR-Z1R I tried, also preferred the Stellia to the Z1R.

If only the Stellia is black... I kinda hate that brownish color.

I, too, am looking for another headphone for the Z1. Currently have Z1R and Empyrean (both with Kimber Axios).

My option is between Diana Phi (with Superconductor cable), Stellia or Verite Closed.

Next week I will have the chance to audition all 3, but I don't think the store have Z1 to audition with and there is no way I'm bringing mine... too lazy :D
