Left: Sony NW-ZX300 w/Sony MDR-Z7M2. The headphone, at least, would never leave my house. But I do use this setup sitting around the house. The headphone definitely sounds best out of my desktop setup though, I mean obviously...
Middle: Pioneer XDP-300R w/Sony MDR-1AM2. This setup is so damn perfect. A great pairing of DAP and headphone. Great noise isolation out of the 1AM2. The 1AM2 sounds best out of the balanced 4.4 from the above ZX300, but for this pic I just put it with the Pioneer, which is really does pair great with.
Right: Active CT10 with my beloved Monster Miles Davis Trumpet IEMs. I’m afraid to leave the house with these IEMs anymore as they’re no longer in production and I’m afraid Monster won’t be around much longer to honor their lifetime warranty (I doubt they even are at this point). But yeah this is a fantastic lightweight setup and it’s the only device pictured that’s capable of streaming Tidal MQA tracks. Unfortunately it does not allow Tidal offline downloading. Great sounding little hi-res DAP though.
X1061 with obravo eamt 2c almost as good as Wm1z from balans amazing flagship model from 2009, very similar in tone
and culture .
and for me even more legendary ,truly work of art !!!
Sony x1061 ladies and gentlemen, 2009r is not a joke... and of course has a radio
All in all, it is a great all-rounder, and it satisfies both the need for a good-sounding device, and the need for a stylish device, this one you can happily use anywhere, it doesn't look industrial or edgy, but very smooth and polished, just like a luxury watch
