What kind of sonic changes are you looking for?

Hi @audio123,

Just wondering your thoughts on No 5 or No 10, both 8 Wire, to go with IT 04 &/or iBasso IT Series?

Hope you have a great day !

I don't have experience with the 8 wire variant. As for the 4 wire variant, I recommend No.10 due to less mid-bass.

What kind of sonic changes are you looking for?

Forward mids, more air with better resolution and separation. Highs need more control. As for bass Z1R already have plenty of bass.

Very easy decision. No.10!

Question now is 4 or 8 core....

@Deezel177 I really enjoyed your review of the No. 10, thank you! It's great when a company not only brings huge performance with value, but also refines a classic to new heights while still keeping the magic of the original.

Thanks @audio123,

I will try to find a way to audition both though by all reports, I still lean towards the No 5 8 Wire but can't say for sure till I find either to demo.

Hopefully one day soon.

Hope you have a great day !

If you don’t wanna add any more bass, the No. 10 may not be ideal. Forward mids aren’t its forte either. Perhaps try PW Audio’s Saladin instead. I remember it having a more robust midrange and less emphasized extremes.

Thanks so much, Collin! ‘Really appreciate the kind words, and I hope you’ll enjoy the ones coming up as well.

Thanks! Do you think Standard or plus version?

 

[Deezel177]

Thanks! Do you think Standard or plus version?

The Plus version would add more top-end extension and air, but at the cost or ergonomics, obviously. Given the Z1R's already-hefty form factor, you wanna stick with the Standard version instead. But, if you don't mind the weight, then I'd recommend the Plus for performance.

For the SQ, plus!

I’m still waiting patiently for my No.5 to arrive. I ordered it on 27 Dec from Musicteck. Andrew was excellent and it made its way from New Jersey to London Heathrow in 2 days. That’s the point at which things slowed down. It has been stuck in the UK customs system ever since. The last tracking update was 10 days ago where it said parcel has been checked and customs charges have been raised. I’m still waiting though...
