But can the FW10K handle metal or any other music that tends to be fast? Can the Z1R handle it? I've found that most DD or hybrids are unable to handle speed then they start to sound sloppy

FW10K driven by Micro BL, FiiO Q5, it handle fast passage really well. Separation and layering remain pinpoint. Z1R unfortunately only driven with iPhone during my test but from short memory/demo, doesn’t seem to fall apart or sound congested.
The full-size Z1R needs to be romanced a little in my opinion to be it’s best. Meaning it needs a Kimber cable, burn in and a certain amp. People had issues with it when it came out, but......in my opinon it’s endgame for me. I don’t really ever even think of topping it. But in my eyes the full size Z1R needed help out of the box to overcome it’s small short-comings, like lower midrange detail, mid-detail and a smoother treble. Maybe because it’s an IEM, I feel the IER-Z1R needs less help to get really good. I haven’t had that much experience yet, but stock cables are fantastic sounding. I think there will be people trying to tune and get better sound with aftermarket cables, but it’s not essential, like I feel it was with the full-size Z1R. Just my opinon there.
As far as it being a IEM version of the full-size Z1R; it is. It has many parallel sound signature traits. Possibly it’s better in some ways? At times I think I hear the full size Z1R treble, at times I think I hear the full size Z1R bass. But I’m not sure folks would instantly think of the full-size headphone when trying the IER-Z1R? I didn’t and I own a pair?
Also the full-size Z1R has an elusive way to coax you into turning up the volume, and strangely the IER-Z1R does the same exact thing. Never have noticed that with any headphone or IEM before except the Z7.

Is it normal that when it comes to IEMs people talk using a code rather than writing things which people can understand? I am sorry, but from the ladt 20 posts I don't get much useable information, only noise and the pictures don't help either.
