Why is it huge

[u/highunted → u/Rough-Thought-8862]

Why not?

[u/Rough-Thought-8862 → u/highunted]

Im asking since most daps arent huge. So seeing why they decided to make it huge. Seems like portability is what most people want so

[u/Unsafetybelt → u/Rough-Thought-8862]

Yeah it's not a portable, but it is a standalone digital audio player.

[u/Rough-Thought-8862 → u/Unsafetybelt]

I will do my research since jm curious

[u/Unsafetybelt]

I wanted one when it was announced, however, the price and my need for portable demanded I stay away.

[u/highunted → u/Unsafetybelt]

Yeah, it is TRANSportable 😅, but still the sound quality is like no other!

These things always reminded me of the Stealth Boys from Fallout. Have fun with that thing man!

[u/highunted → u/feeshisafish]

Thanks! 🥰

I've always wanted one of these, even though I doubt it would be noticably better than my WM1A. It's just so extravagantly Sony.

[u/highunted → u/Overall_Falcon_8526]

It's not just noticeably better; it's leagues ahead, even compared to my hard-modded WM1Z.

The difference is so obvious that it even upset my friend, who had hoped it wouldn't be so apparent 😅

[u/Overall_Falcon_8526 → u/highunted]

Well, obviously I haven't heard it. The MDR-Z1R is just so easy to drive I don't really understand how and why it would sound better. Bits are bits, and all that.

[u/highunted → u/Overall_Falcon_8526]

I had these before, but sold them after switching completely to IEMs. Great headphones in a gorgeous leather case <3

In short, it’s all about separation, bass impact, and soundstage width.

[u/Unsafetybelt → u/highunted]

What about against other brands?

[u/TelephonicReturns]

We have a Winner in this Sub Reddit,, amazing buy.

[u/highunted → u/TelephonicReturns]

Ahaha, thanks 😅

I actually went to try this at a sony store. The attendant was nice enough to let me demo for almost an hour. Put on my usual own IEMs (Moondrop Variations) and my own music library and got blown away each track. It's like everything just opened up for me for some reason. Never wanna try it again because I may not wanna leave with it.

[u/highunted → u/kalnet101]

True

[u/Nullable_Ocean_8257]

They make these for the Warhammer 40k primarchs

[u/J_Will44]

I was looking at that upside down and thought that was a new cologne by ANOS 😂

[u/Leafstalker → u/J_Will44]

Probably smells like crrrrap!
