KZ Castor Harman Edition to me is like an improved version of KZ EDA Balanced . Better detail retrieval better soundstage & imaging and layering . Cheers nice review as always Andy 🤘.

I am still researching the AS24 .. With the advent of the new ultralinear DD and the new BAs, being used in the zsn pro 2 which just came out, I am hoping they will use these new drivers for something interesting, like a Zs10 Pro 2 or upgraded ZAT or As24... So I got the zsn pro 2 to listen for a few months on my rotation. See what I think later.. Any opinions, from anyone, will be appreciated. Your review is really helpful. I would really like to see a review of the Zas maybe even compare to the other hybrids in that series

I have a few of these lower tier (cheap) KZs. I like the ZVX, Krilla and Castor, and even the EDXS. But all these KZs, I find, only has a small SPL window where they play well. Push it more loudly and the coherency starts to quickly unravel and so too the grip (dynamics). Well, we should we thankful we have good sounding IEMs at these base prices. I recall my old Shure, costing USD 300 six years ago, would not even share the same drawer with these modern marvels today.

Frank Miller here Andy from the UK May I ask a dongle question as you are the Dongle King. I recently got the Qudelix 5K when I use it with UAPP PRO NO tracks will play in bit perfect mode. All of my other Dongles play 95 percent of the tracks in Bit Perfect mode. I am using with Samsung s20 and Nokia 3.4 . Really enjoyed this KZ review everything explained perfectly. Keep well. Frank

Hey Frank. Unfortunately I have zero knowledge on Qudelix 5K so I can't even begin to imagine what would be the issue. 5K is not a simple DAC/Amp so it could be anything, perhaps some settings you need to play with?

Hey, Andy! Is the D-fi much different than Krilla or Castor? I bought a really cheap D-fi now on 11.11.

I did mentioned towards the end that Krila and DF-i are similarly tuned and technically similar too. Castor is different because it is Harman curved, designed to suit different taste

i have the kz as24 with tuning switches and really like it. i don't find it rich or warm at all, quite the opposite. clean and transparent. but with the versatility provided by the switches. with everything switched off i find upper mids a bit up front and the treble slightly rolled off.

While castor on paper is harder to drive, when you feed it enough power the mids detach from highs and both become frankly unbearable. They are fantastic for the price especially under lower volume, but the quality of the smaller DD is questionable.
