This is the question I doubted for years! But really don't understand why nobody could answer ?! OK then I'd try it out by myself....

I guess it's because DMP-Z1 has enough power to drive headphones by itself, without needing to connect it to a Hi-Fi system.

Well, but I just intend to use for my hifi system. Not keen on headphones etc...
Driving it directly to my power amp, just acts as a source/preamp device

Black Friday mail!! Picked up 2 cases for different storage options. Waiting for a PLEX300W which should be here sometime in Dec. In the meantime I'll start breaking this beauty in.

I found it accidently on yahoo auctions japan, but here's the link to Vannuys site: https://www.vannuys.co.jp/official/new_item/vd956-vd957/
Same padding as the convertible case with access covers for the front and rear.

Thanks! Looks like a great case. Might have to try and find one

No problem. Man, I'm still in awe, the EE Odin really sings out of the 4.4mm.

Yeah, the Odin is fantastic with DMP it has such a refined and classy sound.

To be fair, most things I’ve tried sound amazing with the DMP! Lol

You're right, so far I've tried the Diana Phi, Odin and MEST. Nothing off putting or distasteful at all, I totally can get used this.

i have the case on the left too. It’s very modular and keeps the dust away from the DMP. But when you use the DMP, it’s better not to have the flap cover the DMP. Because you could forget that the case is actually not yet secured, and the DMP would fall out when you pull the handle.

what headphone cable length do you guys prefer when pairing with the DMP?

I would get the case with the screen opening. It is totally portable with a shoulder strap. You can attach many other pouches to it too!! It depends on what you need practically but anything 1.2 or longer is desirable

I find 1.2m I find is the best length because I always listen with the Z1 next to me on the desk or on a side table.
In fact the Sony Kimber cable is too long @ 3m for me so I got shorter cables instead.

Loving this setup!

Beautiful setup!
Do you hear more energy, openness, soundstage and bass with the superconductor? Someone in the Diana thread said that stock cable has more clarity. How long is that cable?
