Dunu Zen Pro + iFi Hip DAC 2 + Pixel 4XL as transport. Not bad at all.

Which DAP is this?
It’s Shanling M3X, an entry level DAP. They go for $300. It has a neutral sound signature and pairs well with warm headphones like Z1R and treble is smooth as well and hence helps to alleviate some Z1R issues. Also the battery never ends.

Underpowered , but bet still can be enjoyable.
I’m low level listener. With balanced and hi gain I’m only at 20 on volume knob and it can go till 100 I guess. So lot of headroom present at least with Z1R but ya for power hungry headphones this is not the DAP to get.

PP8 with new Onso cable

(Onso: Japanese brand, made in Japan, great build, minimal styling, comfortable and low impedance, not sure why people don't rave about these more).

On the other end is usually a Sony Z7m2 or Final Audio Sonorous III.

Lol its an up4. Its the optional case from shanling.
Ah, I see! Thanks! Like the design! Looks better than the UP5 case. But has the same leather loop that breaks easily and is not flat on the ground :sweat_smile:

Long live @Ray Samuels Audio and stacking!

Lovely pocketable powerhouse.

Had my friend @magicguy 's ex Hiby been grey... but hey, it's fine like this.

Very enjoyable with VE8.
