My modded ZX507 would like to change that rule.

Unfortunately, even today, a lot of people think so... And not just in the audio world. On a more positive note, decent sounding DAPs are quite cheap nowadays.

Agreed on both counts.

I would like to ask if you had a chance to hear ak sp1000 + amp. Would appreciate if you can compare it against the sp2000. XDDD

Hello, I only heard the sp1000 alone, the only thing I can say is that alone the sp1000 is less powerful, dynamic and engaging, comparing with the sp2000, of course we are talking about high level of performance in both, sorry I can help more
