do they have any connection with the legendary MDR-R10 ? 

 

[Sko0byDoo]

Wonder how it measures up to the R10

I wish they'd make an open version of these.

So if each piece cost's say, £1.7K, that's around £5.4K in total. Chicken feed compared to the Sonus Utopia/AK380/Chord Dave £16K plus combo. Let battle commence!

If you can, please ask the Sony people, if there will be spare parts available globally. For the Z7 you still don't get things like ear pads in Europe. That is the main reason that I sold it. The second reason is that it gets too hot inside the cups during summer time.

Make it at least $3199 in practice, after the first couple of lukewarm reviews a thousand dollar Kimber cable will come to the rescue...

I think I'll have to amend me £5.4K effort, the golden wonderchild Dap is 3.3K euro's!

 

[Whitigir]

Oh thank you ! That isn't too bad then, but still a heartbreaker

"Most significantly, the MDR-Z1R was developed in collaboration with one of the top mastering engineers at Sony Music Battery Studios, who benchmarked its overall performance in comparison with his super high-end reference speakers."
 
The engineer of the studio is Mark Wilder, and he uses Dunlavy SCV speakers with Cello amplifiers at Sony Music Battery Studios...so if this Sony sound exactly like his speakers...mmm Stax is better
 
It's a shame because MDR-Z1R are one of the most beautiful designs I've seen, but keep in mind that Dunlavy speakers are bright af, like Lipinski.

So he is not the engineer who made the R10 or Qualia Q10 ? Ok, pass. Will keep myself on the thread for more impressions and news, but my interested had been severely damaged
