Heres a new WOW with the MicroZotl2: just plugged in the Venture Electronics Zen,
a 320 ohm new earbud design from China thats on tour. They sounded good out of
my HTC One M9 but out of the Zotl they rocked like full size headphones, best bass
and mids I've ever heard in an earbud. highs were sparkling too, with shimmering symbols
on Tidal blues tracks....no hiss at low or high gain settings. so you can use the Zotl
with earbuds with high resistance.
I just want to clarify something you said here. Does you MicroZotl2 have high and low gain settings? I ask because I may have read your post wrong but if so, this is a feature that hasn't been listed before.
I read the same thing, I have the MicroZOTL, not sure what Blue had in mind, but there isn't a high/low gain setting. Having said that, I also have the Zen, and there is no hiss out of the ZOTL, fell asleep listening to the Zen/ZOTL last night (and, it is a really sweet combo...have to use the adapter, there is only a full size headphone output on the ZOTL). I have to recheck, but I think I tried my recent ciem acquisition, the acs Encore, and if I remember correctly, I did get some hiss with this combo. Have an impedance attenuator (or whatever it's called) somewhere, but not sure where the cleaning lady "put it away" for me...
