ZS5 is incredibly easy to drive, more likely an impedance related issue. I find that my Cozoy Aegis is too powerful meaning I have less 'adjustment' so I end up using my iPhone direct

Agreed... The ZS5 get loud FAST! On my iBasso D1, volume is off at 7 o'clock. With the ZS5, they are loud at 9 o'clock and almost too loud at 9:30. With Havi I have much more usable volume. Getting too loud at 1 o'clock. Much easier to dial in the right amount of volume.

I'm aware of the numbers, but I know that the "harder to drive" P1s have none of the issues that the ZS5 have given me. Additionally, the ZS5 needs about 75% volume out of the laptop directly as opposed to about 30% for the P1.

I think the smsl idea would do good

Please disregard all of my comments. I have a pair of ZS5 on order and due this week. My comparison was based on the TFZ Series 5. I got all of those Z's and 5's mixed up in my head and they spilled out incorrectly in this thread!

I didn't say decent volume. C'mon dude.

Pot, kettle, and that post wasn't aimed at you. Done with this, genuinely try to help someone they get arsey and obtuse.

Like I said from start, ZS5 seems to have an issue with certain sources or some have a phase issue.

After a few years of ownership, I have written and published a review of my beloved iBasso DX90: http://kopfhoerer-lounge.blogspot.com/2017/07/iBasso-DX90-Review-my-love-and-my-touch.html




It's in German language but with a Google Translate widget option.

Hey, can someone recommend some chifi iems that have great treble extension like the VE Duke?

 

[loomisjohnson]

haven't heard the duke, and you haven't specified a budget but for treble extension consider:
seaf awk 009 ($15) ty hiz g3 ($35) moni one ($75) senzer h1 ($25) bosshifi b3 ($35)--check out vidal's site for more detailed impressions

To add onto those recommendations, the TFZ Exclusive lineup has excellent treble extension.

Have UiiSii produced a triple driver hybrid - dual BA and single dynamic?

This listing indicates they have http://amzn.eu/eecC1Vh

 

[HungryPanda]

That is the one I purchased I thought it had 2 dynamic and one BA. It says that on the box

Can you see the BA driver in the nozzle? How do they sound?
