Iirc the Zsr are 1 x Dynamic driver and 2 x Balanced armature. Isn't it?

Yeah sorry about that I mixed the Walnut V2S with the Walnut F1.

No the Z2 cannot function as a amp only but I think the previous iteration Zishan Z1 could but it had lower hardware you can take a look if you want but I think the walnut V2S would perform much better and it has a balanced out. I don't remember but either on the Zishan Z2 or the walnut V2...

@Nymphonomaniac Why not give the Zishan Z2 a try it has the ak4490 chip its a dap that can iirc also function as a DAC+AMP when connected with usb and it's under 50$. And if you have already tried it do give some impressions.

So I guess you don't know solution to what I am thinking might be addiction.

I know how you feel as a college student I now already own 5 iems ATE, 2 ZS3(1 with the Bluetooth module), ZS5v2 with the expensive branded cable,ZS6 and many purchases on the 11.11 sale barely managed this month and I am now already looking at the ZSR and a DAC+AMP solution for the coming...

Would love the Insta360 ONE.

But that is type B socket you should get the type A one if you want to use with ZS5 and ZS6.

Does anyone know the output power of the Zishan Z2? I just found out it can function as a DAC+Amp for PC and Android and was thinking of getting it because everything I one has very high noise floor hissing everywhere.And If anyone know any other alternatives at this range do tell.Thanks

Try different sizes and different tips I was having the same problem I had to set the ZS3 just right or it would just sound wrong.

Yeah same setup ZS3 + newbee silicon.

There is probably a SMD resistor already I opened up my ZS5v2 and there was a Resistor on the DD I think that is how they are achieving the crossover.

Hey @Slater could you tell me if this would work as a mod. So we block/remove the two BA and convert one of the DD into a full range driver by removing its resistor which I assume is used to create the crossover.

Yeah I found the resistor interesting that's why I posted.

Hey guys I opened up my ZS5 V2 thought you might like pictures.

Yeah I live in India its code is IN thanks a lot.

Those were the ZSR Pro not the ZSR. The ZSR Pro's box was leaked that said 10 drivers.

Yeah I get that the Q1 mark II has better output when balanced but then buying balanced cable that cost more than my iem itself I just can't justify that. Even if I end up going balanced it future I would probably just end up diying the cable I just don't get why are they so expensive they just...

Yeah please do post the link once its done. Right now I am looking at the fiio Q1(mark 1) it has the best power output and it can function as both amp and Dac+Amp and will probably will be enough for the foreseeable future.

Damm I just realized the true value of amplification even for tiny iem like the KZ ZS3 I listening to Post Malone- I Fall Apart on my Mi A1 which has a dedicated amp(don't know the specifications) and around 1 min the bass kicks in and it felt so good.Then I tried playing it off my laptop but...

Guys the 10 driver kz iem whose box was leaked was the ZSR Pro not the Zsr there is still hope for 10 driver kz iem.:grin:

link please.

Hey @George-gearbest can we have some promocode for the KZ ATE I have heard they sound really good with some mods.Thanks

No idea I got this picture from NICEHCK's twitter and it only had this picture and the description was "ZSR?"

I don't see them I was saying based on the information that the person posted before me since I could see that the DD was in front I assumed there were BA in the back and there looks to me that there could be space in the back for one or two BA.
