still trying out both and awaiting 2.5 to 4.4 adapter from effect audio so I can use same headphones / iems on both. Also getting stock cable for all three connections (no adapters) for my empire ears legend x so it’s really apples to apples from iem standpoint (and balanced is only way to go imho they seem to make songs come to life / pop )

Do keep us posted. The DMP-Z1 can keep up with a highend desktop amp such as a $5000 USD Audio-Technica HA5050H so I am sure that it can surpass the SP2000.

They actually kinda do...lol...it took a long time to be in stock at some dealers. Back when I bought it, not sure about now

I waited 4 months for mine.

I myself, do see a lot of Pros in the DMP-Z1 on the Digital Processing itself.

On product like this I am almost certain it was sent back to Japan for repairs.

The repair receipt says his unit's internal Li-ion battery won't charge, so they replaced the main board as well as the battery packs.

Wasn’t sent back to Japan but waited for spare parts shipped from Japan for 80 days
