Reply to review by 'carliber1' on item 'KZ ZVX Pro'
Well worth the wait. After many days of swapping cables eartips and Dongle DACs, I got one of the best synergy for classical music using BQEYZ reference silicone eartips/ISN Audio C16 cbl./Questyle M12i DAC; for non-classical: TRN T2 cbl./Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 eartips/M12i DAC. My ZVX Pro feel...- carliber1

Thanks especially for the comparisons vs ZVX and vs Kefine Klean. My curiosity got the better part of me, so went ahead and pulled the trigger on the ZVX Pro -can't wait to give it a go.- carliber1

Shanling UA4 - Portable USB DAC/AMP with Newest ESS DAC, Full screen and Hardware Buttons
If at all possible, you ought to try the DDHiFi TC09S in addition to the two different Type-C cables you have already tried but without good results -TC09S is good at eliminating signal artifacts, noise (particularly power supply noise), helps maintain signal purity besides its other Pros. No, I...- carliber1

@Fat Larry Tiandirenhe version sounds very good although not as refined as those I mentioned. The VE Odo Type-C dongle is supposedly comparable to Abigail except that its chip, KT02H20, endows it with more juice to drive headphones as well -avail. SE/Bal, 5/10 USD respectively.- carliber1

@Redcarmoose Ps. there are many Type-C dongles that use the CX31993 DAC chip, but precious few manufacturers understand how to fully unlock its potential; an ex. is the Tiandirenhe Conexant CX31993+max97220 Type C DAC, it uses the same dual chip as OS133 DAC, yet the results are undeniably...- carliber1

@Redcarmoose It is no small matter when synergy is found with an IEM and its ancillary components, apparently Neo 5/CS02 for example. Totem DAC, if thoroughly aged, will beautifully handle nuances, dynamics, and exhibit high-level refinement; nice to have the cable though, indeed. I'm not...- carliber1

@Redcarmoose I had a hunch CS02+EW200 might be a good match but it was not to be; from what I've read, it seem to have a certain sonic allure, hence my original question. I happen to have a modest, varied collection of cables, Type-C DAC dongles --collectively, my sound tuners. I've since tested...- carliber1

@Redcarmoose, Thanks man for testing CS02 paired with the EW200, and for suggesting the LC7 as a good option. Very interesting your detailed observations and deduction in testing the CS02 this time around, I am glad I asked. I will certainly pickup the LC7 for one of my fave IEM.- carliber1

Thanks for your review. Question: any idea how good (or not) EW200 might pair with ISN CSO2 cable? Too bad the CS02 was not one of the cables tested, besides Penon's Space Vocal and Bass.- carliber1
