I had a Calyx M and an Z1. The M had awesome sound quality and great storage capacity but also drawbacks (poor battery life, manufacturer stopped supporting it and it distorted with some IEMS unless you used the M Jack). I used the Z1 for music streaming only and to offload my Tidal lossless playlists as it does not have any expandable storage so it could not handle my music collection. Recently I sold both and purchased a used ZX2 which I'm very happy with. The sound quality of the ZX2 is very good with all my headphones and IEMS and it combined functionality of the M and ZX1 into a single device. Unless I'm streaming music services like Tidal, Pandora, Sirius XM or offloading Tidal tracks I keep the ZX2 in airplane mode for all other listening and it works well. Using my cell phone for Tidal etc isn't a great option as my cell phone (iPhone 6s) is a work phone so it wouldn't put me in too good of favor with my employer when our IT person goes to update my phone and finds it loaded with Tidal music tracks and other personal music apps.
