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

Gotta get the pack I linked earlier and take with you!

The store is out of the country. I can't imagine taking this baby through the airport again, pass security etc.

We will be very interested to hear your comparaison between the Diana Phi and the Verite Closed. Booth are on my list...

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

Ya with size of z1r they can produce more open back space - but I can also see headphones out corner of eye lol - like wearing softballs on ear (I still love don’t get me wrong ...)

But will be nice to have little more streamlined too

Mm..traveled with my DMP Z1. No special case....just a nice, soft textile bag (to minimize scratching) and placed inside my backpack. Breezed through airport security with no problems. Some of my headfi rig has been flagged by airport security,,,,like when i brought with me my Woo Audio WA8. I told the staffer it was a tube-based amp dac for headphones......failing to understand, I reverted to my usual answer: it is a battery bank.

Recent trip to SG....nekkid...and the proper way to use the DMP:

Mm...nope. Took it from my niece’s school backpack. Run of the mill nylon strap with lock.

I ve located a seller from Japan selling that handsome carrying case from VanNuys. Problem was my trip to SG was much earlier than promised delivery so I had to improvise.
