There is a 99% chance there will be no successor. If you don't get one now, you probably will never have one. That doesn't mean there is a zero chance, but it is very unlikely. There have been no upgrade for the TA-ZH1ES either and this one will get an update before the DMP-Z1

+1 Sony sells it

As far as i know, the warranty is only valid for the person who bought it. So if you buy it and then resell it, the new buyer can't use the warranty. At least that is the information i was given.

I would have considered the IER-M9, due to its isolation, ideal for trips :o

Don't tell me that. I just sold my Z1R because I have up on over ear headphones^^ and comfort was one of the reasons Now I feel tempted

I didn't had the impression the MV1 feels cheap, only the Moondrop Void. I hope there is no misunderstanding here^^ i think the MV1 is built pretty good

Its also built much better. The Void is an plastic bomber. But if nobody tested it yet, i might have to take on that duty myself^^

in your place, that would be the last time i'd ever buy an product from that company. The 4000$ are a joke and that they just ignore your request when you write them directly is absolutely not acceptable for an product with that price point.

As some people might know, the Moondrop CEO is a Sony Fanboy (owning the MDR-Z1R as well as the WM1ZM2 and the DMP-Z1. He even gave the DMP-Z1 to one of his employee for an commercial for their new phone ) and so the Moondrop Void was intentially tuned to sound close to the MDR-Z1R. Was anyone...

? this whole argument exists, because what is shown in the Software is not what is coming out of the device. Just because the App says 192kHz doesn't mean there is a 192kHz signal coming out of the headphone jack. What is sent to an USB DAC is unrelated to what comes out from the jack

After testing some new gear, and switching my list of reference songs around my list now goes as following (i only rate sound quality, without any relevance to price) Sony IER-M9 Westone Mach 70 Vision Ears VE8 Campfire Audio Andromeda ES FitEar TG335 Shure SE846 FiiO FA19 Moondrop S8

I would give asking Final directly a shot. I once had issues with my XBA-Z5 and Sony offered me a new pair for 50% discount. I heard Hifiman does the same thing with >80% discount. I once had issues with my Moondrop KATO and i just received a new pair for free (without the need of shipping the...

Due to their weight, i had to use them with SS or S (i usually have M/L, depending on Earphone/IEM) to get them deep enough in their to stick in place. But they still moved which didn't effect the sound but hurt my ear. With S-Size foam they stopped moving, but then i constantly had the feeling...

I am not a AZLA fan but to be fair, the IER-Z1R isn't the easiest In-Ear in terms of eartip choice. Its the spoiled first child that can blame all its siblings when something goes wrong

Die you measure if the output actually is High Res Audio? It won't tell you on it's own^^ it will just play the music and downscale it.

I heard the MEST and MEST Mk2 with the Subway to Sally live Concert Nackt II and the clapping of the people and the shouting is in different layers and the soundstage is unrealistic large (i attended the concert, i was in the hall, live, it wasn't as big as these IEM make it) So for me...

How can it be more technical, if it is brighter overall? As an musician, i am always confused about how audiophiles use these terms^^

To be fair, the SP3000 has a relatively high background noise, always had. You're not the first to complain about this. Just because it costs a lot of money doesn't mean it is good. In most measurements it shows an Noise Floor from 4-8µV For comparison, the 699$ M11 Plus has an Noise Floor of...

The overall tuning is the biggest dislike with the U12t. It is as far from neutral as you can get and i do not like that. A lot of songs i have start to sound strange and off because the volume gap between bass and mids

Afaik Tidal only supports Bit Perfect output with external USB DAC and even then not always. Some DAPs suffer the issue that even when you plug an external DAC, Tidal will down convert to 16/48

The Native Music Player is, as far as i know, just a stock music Player unrelated to Moondrop. At least that is what i understood. I tested it and noticed, this is just an average Android Stock Player. I tested the FiiO Player App (which is pretty good) as well as the Sony App and some...

Been there, done that :D don't forget to listen to music though^^

The IER-M9 is most famous for having an DD-like bass and/or the best bass you can have in an IEM at all. The IER-M9 was originally developed as an 4-way system, but after musicians (It was tuned in cooperation with musicians) complained about the bass, Sony developed an BA Subwoofer and...
