From further testing on AS16 Pro (yes i know it's outdated st KZ's pace) it scales pretty well with better quality sources such as SACDlDSD compared to MP3 or AAC or MQA(FLAC). the resolution is definitely there with high quality sources, not just higher powered source equipment. the instrument separation of multi BA arrangement really shines even though it might not have the more accurate timbre of an all Knowles unit.

KZ ASF way too big for my ears, my right ear hurts greatly when I try to use them. The ZEX PROs are slightly smaller and justtttt about usable for me, but not for too long of time periods. How do the AS16 pros compare in size to these two?

I have/had those three iems. ASF is just ok, or so-so comfortable for me but OK. AS16 pro is a perfect fit for me.

Zex pro is smallest and I find most comfortable. AS16 Pro is larger but still comfortable, NOT for side sleeping but still comfortable and reasonably secure due to deeper fit. ASF is similar size to AS16 Pro but least comfortable of the three, the wing is a little weirdly shaped compared to most semi-custom shaped IEMs.KZ ASF way too big for my ears, my right ear hurts greatly when I try to use them.

After recieving several "complaints" over how CCA PLA13 is tuned
namely, complains on how its tuned to KZ sound sig which kinda blunted the planar driver
KZ is going to release "KZ" side of Planar IEMs which uniquely have two iems with two separate tuning targets
Presumably the standard will have KZ fun V, while the high res should be flatter (less bass) or have higher treble.
No additional info like graph yet.

Well, that's par for the course for KZ.
Maybe if you wait one week after this new planar is launched, a "PRO" version of it will also be released thereafter.

Got my ES3 in today. They are absolutely every bit as good as I remember them being. On a more comparable level, these also blow my custom Ultimate Ears UE5 pros away. They fit perfectly as well. I'd say with these and my CCA CA16s, I'm completely set on iems now.

ZS10 Pro X , the Best KZ for me . (including the model that is not in the picture)
BA Timbre less than AS16 Pro Spinfit W1 , it helps in sound quality as well.
