Maybe the problem it's here, as hakuzen said to have tested the ZS6 with the adapter on a source with <1 ohm of output impedance.
Have you try it the ZS6, plus the adapter, with the DX90 alone ?

I just bought myself different earphones from another brand. I originally caught the KZ flu with the ED7.

Is ZS6 that bad?

That's 0.075 Ohms. Though one source on a quick Google search claims it rises to around 1 ohm at the top of the audio band.

No, it's not that bad as many people make it out to be.
It seems to be about half and half - 50% of people like it, and 50% of people don't like it.
The sticking point is the treble (specifically a peak at 10k). They are quite bright (too bright for some people). In either situation, Comply (genuine or generics) foam tips are pretty much a given.
Even if you are in the camp that don't like it, you can easily mod it to your liking in the following different ways:
- Folding over a small piece of foam in each nozzle (under the screen but on top of the BA drivers)
- Inserting a small piece of foam inside of each ear tip (above the screen)
- Doing the Slater foam mod to the BA nozzles
- Removing 1 of the BA drivers from the nozzle (done on a ZS5 v2 so far, but no reports yet of it being done on the ZS6 even enough they are very similar IEMs)
- Use EQ and cut 10k frequency to your liking (ie 5+dB)
#2 is completely reversible, requires zero tools or opening anything up at al. #2 is a 0/10 on a difficulty scale of 10.
#3 is completely reversible, and is very easy with the only tools needed a safety pin or sewing needle and a pair of tweezers. #3 is a 3/10 on a difficulty scale of 10.
#4 is permanent, and carries the largest risk of screwing something up. #4 is a 7/10 on a difficulty scale of 10.
#5 depends on the ability to adjust EQ with your source, and is a 0/10 on a difficulty scale of 10.
I personally love mine 100% as-is (using foam tips). I agree with HungryPanda - it's easily the best KZ IEM to date, factoring in build quality, sound, driveability, and looks.

If by "bad" you mean "amazing" then yes.
I don't know Japanese, but from Google translate this seems to be a report of a ZS6 with "more natural" highs, from someone who has bought multiple units:

Something about the two pin connector is also different apparently?

My bad, i have miss read the "m".
The first one to say something about it, in this thread, also say that. Who knows...
Well I must be mad as I have the green ZS6 and just had the red delivered. It's all about the look

Hmmm, my Google translate was a bunch of gibberish mumbo jumbo.
I think it did say "2-pin" and "Natural", but the rest was useless junk.

Swap the backs between the red and green pairs, and you'll have 2 sets of Christmas-themed ZS6!
I am working on Christmas night, you may be on to something

Well finally put a little more effort into getting tracking info for my ZS6, which made it to the US on the 9th, but details are minimal so couldn't even tell you which states it's been in. I don't know if Gearbest is easy to deal with or not in this respect, but I may be out of luck.
