Perhpas he has envy of us zx100 owners, for me low value would be an iPod LOL thats a sacrilege of SQ, the ZX100 is pristine once you reach 250hrs burn-in...
My question is which HPs is he using so far i am with a pair of sony XBA-A3 perhpas hence the sinergy, i will report in december wehn i visit my Hubby in germany (test my zx100 with some ultrasone HFI 780) and i will buy the MDR-Z7 and will also let them burn in before reporting
Even my FiiO x3 first gen sounded worse in termns of staging and depth in regards to the A17 or zx100
my comparison would be 1 is best and Nth position is worst
1)walkman ZX100
2)walkman A17
3)walkman x series X1060
4)Fiio X3 I
5)walkman A818
6)Netwrok walkman E507
7)iPod classic late 2009 model
