@wolfstar76 just received email from MT that my BSEP is on the way, did you get one as well? Pretty sure we ordered around the same time?

what cable forwards mids on z1r?
You already know....though just like the XBA-Z5 did, Sony mids at times maybe some folks may think they are a hair grainy at this proportion? But it is nice, never thought pure silver would be the ticket for the IER, but this cable is also what people use for the MDR-Z1R.

Mine is already in local USPS, the email of shipping was on April 26th. Hopefully I will get the cable this weekend.

Cool. I'm away for a coupe of weeks so I'll miss mine, look forward to hearing what you think of it!

Need more time to have any impression since I spent most of my time listening to the touring Oriolus Monachaa before I sent it out this Friday. But the initial short impression is, the improvement of sound quality is nuance, at least requiring some A/B test. I have wow moment from Code 24 for Quattro since the change is not subtle.

Will report back later.

It’s been a while since I logged on and check on this forums, but man after learning that possible discontinuation of the Z1R I couldn’t help but feel a little sad like the end of an era. I hope Sony has something great down the line, for now I’ll enjoy this amazing IER until they die on me.

I am now listening with Z1R from my desktop DAC/AMP, it scales pretty well, with the BSEP cable, definitely still stand up to the current TOTL IEMs.

These things are ****ing amazing. I tried going back to my IE600 last night and they felt so darn thin compared to the bass memory foam these things feel like they stuff my ears with.

I’m so so so happy I rolled the dice on these despite the fit concerns, they are perfectly fine in my ears.
