Just go with the one Sony recommend, Kimber Axios Silver. It is only slightly more expensive than the player itself

If you don't mind a stiffish cable (when compared to others) with microphonics, other than that the Axios is a lovely soudning cable and piece of art with that unique natural no splitter section.

My MDR-Z7 and WM1A are stil fine no discoloration.

best is to to wipe them clean every day?... sony shall put the actual coloring when the metall is a bit hot, but i bet Z5, Z7 and WM1x are CNC machoned with a drill, so , if it's applied with a doubtful method. i think sony shall do like airplane or car makers do, spray paint the CNC' chassis and then coat with a fine laquer

The process Sony use of far better than any paint process used in the automotive industry.

It’s a chemical process that penetrate the material surface, not like any paint application is applied on the surface. It’s much easier to chip the paint of a car that your MW1A.

If you google the PVD process you can get a better idea.
