So over the 3 years of ownership, I contemplated many a times selling the DMP and even putting it up for sale few times and withdrawing it afterwards, thankfully! I also reached out to
@Whitigir via email and thanks to his opinion a few other audio friends in my personal life, I still have the DPM (phew!)
Having the ZM2 for a few days and directly comparing it to the DMP gave me a big perspective that the grass is not always greener on the other side
Simply put there is no direct comparison which can be made, both are absolutely meant for different purposes. DMP is still King and it maybe so given the output power difference, which cannot be ignored. Sound wise both are sublime.
Those on the fence about selling the DMP and getting the ZM2 I suggest Stop, you will regret your decision forever. The DMP is unique and such a niche product, now I plan on keeping it till it dies, unless of course there is a DMP-2 someday, which I doubt.
