For home use i got a JDSLabs Element III, for music/movies/pc/console gaming paired with my HD800s.

Now I'm looking for a portable setup. Ill likely be traveling by train to LA, which is an overnight trip. I recently got a chord mojo 2, but im not sure what IEMs to go with them. Ill be using them with a switch/steamdeck/rog ally and then also with my ipad for watching movies/music during these trips. The sony Z1R's have me intrigued, but theyre also a few years old at this point, has something better come out?

Also...is the chord mojo 2 overkill if itll only be used with IEMs? I feel like it might be.

The other question i have, is a DAP, but for work it specifically cannot have WIFI or bluetooth, or any wireless capabilities of any kind. however, if it could play nice with apple dynamic playlists thatd be a plus, however im guessing im completely out of luck on that front.

My budget is probably ~2000 on the top end

Why Sony Z1R, are you sure you need to spend $1500 an for a hybrid with a "fun" U-shaped tuning? What if there's something for $200 or even $50 that does the job? At least if you don't blow your budget on a single purchase you can try a few sets and figure out which one what you like most. Maybe the shell shape of the Z1R will poke your ears.
