Lol, I’m not as Sony obsessed as I used to be but yeah the SP2K is definitely closer to DMP’s sound sig compared to WM1Z. Main difference being the colder, more analytical tonality on SP2K. DMP is also more analytical than WM1Z but still a little warmer than SP2K

Hmm thanks for confirming this means I wont be a sp2kcc fan as dmpz1 was borderline for me in neutral side. It is why I loved 1z so much.

My new love is shanling M8






I also have hiby R8 that I am selling as it did not suite me in sound signature it actually sounding more like a wm1a tuning he

Compared to WM1Z, yes.

My iBasso DX220 Max sounds more analytical to my ears than SP2K.

I had the 1Z, compared to SP2000CU the diference in sound density, and warmth in vocal for exemple was not big, In some songs the sp2000 was even more organic and musical (3.0 Sony firmware or 3.01?...they are so many) but that is IMO

Yup I agree, vocals on SP2K are amazingly smooth and organic, but also have excellent clarity and detail. Amazing dap!

Empire Ears Zeus XR-ADEL (APEX M20) weilding the mighty Stormbreaker + the Onkyo DP-X1 in ACG Mode​

As my month long honeymoon phase just ended with this setup. I just wanted to share it here as I am back to my bi-weekly rotation.
Up next: Sony IER-Z1R + Sony x Kimber Cable + WM1A (DMP-WM1 FE FW Mod)

It was such a fun month with the Zeus. The DP-X1 still holds its ground as one of the “cleanest” BAL outputs out there. Still wishing they’d release an upgrade with better battery life. For a portable solution, battery life matters as much as SQ.
