It also features both 4.4mm and 3.5mm headphone jacks, a built-in headphone amp, isolated circuit board, vinyl processor, and gold-plated volume control. In case you wanted to avoid bringing extra paraphernalia with you, the Sony DMP-Z1 conveniently stores up to 256GB and has the added benefit of a 10 hour battery life.

Now that you’re captivated by the Sony DMP-Z1, get ready to look in the couch cushions for some spare change. With a price tag of approximately $7,900 USD, the Sony DMP-Z1 is simultaneously an audiophile’s best dream and worst nightmare.
