Not too heavy, I can't imagine anything going wrong carrying over $10k for a portable rig.
Do you run the headphones through an amp/dac? If so what gear?I have both the z1r and stellia, some days i like one, other days the other. Last night the z1r was killimg the stellias. Other days, the opposite. I like them both, but neither equals my Utopia’s.
Where does the Empyrean fall in that order Dave? Thanks.I have both the z1r and stellia, some days i like one, other days the other. Last night the z1r was killimg the stellias. Other days, the opposite. I like them both, but neither equals my Utopia’s.
Last night just through the apple dongle/dac, which is ok. Also have h2, mojo, dragonfly red, se100, dp-x1, and some amps.Do you run the headphones through an amp/dac? If so what gear?

Never heard the empyrean, but would like to! I will say that I just don’t find planars satisfying long term, and end up selling them.Where does the Empyrean fall in that order Dave? Thanks.

Listening with the Manley Neo 300b with Svetlana 300b tubes, the Z1R, like the Z7, becomes very pure and stat like. The bass is amazing.
If they actually get better with break in, I might not be able to stand it. Already powerful emotional connection, which is the most elusive audio spice.
Even more comfortable than Z7, which was already a most comfortable headphone.
TA-Z1ES is quite over-priced for performance. I was quite disappointed based on it's retail and it's performance. I've been let down by high-end Sony stuff most often that I really don't expect their products to perform their value.I debated a long time to pair my TA-Z1ES with the Z1R, now i regret not doing so & it looks like they're now unavailable in the U.K. ??
