It is what it is, don't expect Z1R to blow you away if you deem Z7M2 as muddy, details wise, Z1R is not competitive at its price range, unless you really need closed backs, which inherently at a disadvantage compared to open backs.

you need 2 sets, one for analytical, the other warm, bassy guilty pleasure, don't expect one set to do it all, even you go super high end.

curious how mest mk2 compared to your dca noire? in terms of soundstage and bass impact

did you try biodynamics like denons or fostex th900, those are king in the headphone world when it comes to sub bass punch

In IEM world agree, Z1R is one of the best.
