Ughhh, it's not just in Head-Fi, but almost everywhere else too.
People who hates Z1R will just piss on it, the hate is real, unlike some others "flawed" headphones. I personally like it more than Utopia.
Elear will be close second to Z1R, the hate on Elear is quite serious...
There is nothing to hate here
Even I two months ago I was so angry at SONY
Today is less..............
Even I apologize so much for making a really angry film about the Z1R
But I took it down when everything suddenly started to change
With the purchase of the kimber cable
And now I have added SPL amplifier
Although I wanted the Sony TA-ZH1ES like yours
But there are no entrances as I actually want
Everything I put into it becomes DSD Digital Remasting
Actually hears the Sony in D / A DSD
NOT MY MULTI BIT CD
I am from what I was impressed over the years that not every DSD Digital Remasting is perfect
For example all RCA tapes Digital Remasting
I found that the company's first Digital Remasting for many recordings.
They are multi-bit much more alive and breathing than the versions after I bought
After this the RCA became a SONY DSD Digital Remasting.
And I compared the same tapes and the difference is really in favor of the recordings OF MULTI BIT
Advances ON MULTI BIT SOUND AS DCD-3560 DENON
And have full examples including CBS recordings IS DSD NOT AS GOOD AS MULTI BIT Digital Remasting.
And I realized that the Z1R needed loads of power to control the bass
And my choice was SPL and really pleased TO the sky from the sound
Now I also bought a BAL NEOTECH cable
The picture for the Z1R is quite different
And I sold the HD800
