Any Android or semi-Android or Android-based portable/transportable DAP that is anywhere close to 90% of DMP-Z1's sonic satisfaction? 1Z is a bit too old now. I see DX220-Max but not many reviews out there.

DMP-Z1 is very very good to me. Not only sound, and engineering, but also the user experience. I like even better than the SP2000...

What a nice share! Thanks for the update Whitigir What's your AM model? And is it connected with speakers? If so, what's your speakers model?

They are AS3000 and NSF901PN

@Whitigir i'm still deciding what to add to my audio chain.....never bought a Chord Electronics product & wondered if you'd compared the DMP-Z1 to the Hugo TT2, or TT2 / M Scaler combo ?

 

[Whitigir]

I never tried the Mscaller hooked up with other Chord stuff. Here is where I would have to ask the same question and waiting for some answers too

Thanks @Whitigir So you have tried the M Scaler with other products ? I've just had feedback that it improves the Sony TA-ZH1ES 30 - 40% ?? ( Which i own. )
Don't want to derail DMP-Z1 thread, but really trying to finally make my mind up of what to buy ??

Sorry to disappoint , but that wasn’t me either

 

[Whitigir]

When something is good, why not making it better ?

This is insane and amazing. I wonder how the designers at Sony would take it that @Whitigir is treating the DMP Z1 like a Subaru

Sato San is a fan of modifications folks. He told the story that when he was a little kid, his father bought him a Radio, and he kept tinkering with it, so it became his hobby and enthusiasm, something he loves to do. That stays with him even until the present days, and that he loves to tinker with stuff . There was a video of him telling the story a while ago when “signatures series” came out....but I can’t find it now

 

[Whitigir]

All that was collected , and now I can say that my DMP Z1 is exotic all around

We need this "insane love" from Sato San & co. This helps produce a world-class product! And as consumers, we benefit from it.

What happened with your DMP-Z1, Whitigir?

 

[Whitigir]

What happened with your DMP-Z1, Whitigir?

Some upgrades happened

All wires are now High purity Silver and Goldplated with multi strand and counter spiraling constructions, no OFC anymore

Coupling capacitors are now Silmic II and no longer Nichicon Fine gold. Some pictures here before and after

I thought you'd been too quietly lately !

It does amaze me what you EVEN ATTEMPT TO DO !....but you clearly have a background in engineering ??

Perhaps you can share impressions ?

I'm still deciding to pull the trigger on the DMP-Z1 ?? ( Yes, i've been deciding a long time now ! )

I leave you with the famous quote from Alfred Lord Tennyson, "'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all".
