    I use ambrane 200 rupees dac which shows on website it supports lossless audio should I be considering a upgrade D07 dac ...? Does DO7 dac really make any difference? Also i own the og KZ CASTOR herman edition....

    • @B9scrambler
      @B9scrambler  6 дней назад +1

      Do you have the Ambrane CX1? It should be fine with your Castor. The D07 will probably sound a little bit better, but not enough to warrant upgrading to. For a true upgrade, you'd be better off saving up and going with a higher category of DAC entirely.

      @@B9scrambler yss but I think i am not getting the most out of my IEM cuz it's impedance is 31-36 ohm, (which more than avg) but for ambrane CX1 dac there nothing mentioned for it and doesn't even work with my laptop so my pov is iem's can sound better... ( disclaimer: i just started my audiophile journey, i don't have so much knowledge).....

      @@AticGoo In my experience sensitivity is more important than impedance. The Castor's sensitivity is 105dB which is a bit lower than average. The D07's power output is 60mW which should be fine. Can't find power specs for the Ambrane so it's probably quite low. D07 might do the trick for you.

    Should i get these or the moondrop chu 2s as my first iem?

    • @B9scrambler
      @B9scrambler  6 месяцев назад +2

      Haven't heard the Chu 2 but I'm inclined to go that way instead of the Castor. Castor is perfectly fine, but the Moondrop house sound is something I really like. SSR and SSP look to measure similarly, which are some of my favourite iems.

    Thanks for the review! I have recently bought the base enhanced version and was wondering since they both have the same drivers, is there a way i can get the sound of the normal version out of it? like turning on specific switches or using Equalizer?

    • @B9scrambler
      @B9scrambler  10 месяцев назад +2

      Using EQ you could surely get the bass enhanced version to sound like the normal version. Since you won't be adding bass, you wouldn't run into distortion either which is always nice. Otherwise, I'm sure the tuning was done via physical differences, so any tuning done to get the bass version to sound like the normal version would be irreversible. Might as well just buy the normal version if you have the opportunity. I keep seeing them both on sale for under 20 bucks.

    is this good for mixing music?

    • @B9scrambler
      @B9scrambler  4 месяца назад

      As a budget option, it might be okay. Follows the Harman curve closely and has decent technical performance. Something more neutral would probably be better, but I'm unsure what offers that around this price point.

    • @AvgCopium-Enjoyer
      @AvgCopium-Enjoyer 6 месяцев назад

      The cable is pretty much standard 0.75mm, theres no difference in mics between the iems by cca, kz, etc. which all either use 0.75/78mm C/B pin connectors which come standard. There's "upgraded" cables with type C which visually have the same mic configuration on the cable.

      With a couple exceptions anything QKZ is basically trash. Never heard of the Hub but if you mean the collaboration model with a popular youtuber, that thing can burn in the fiery rivers of hell. Like this the Zero follows Harman too close for my tastes so they're probably interchangeable. Buy the one you like the look of more/is cheaper.

      I both have the silver harman and the salnotes zero, the reviewer found the silver castor a bit harsh, the salnotes zero is more harsher in my ears with its 13k peak and the treble is even more pronounced since its bass is quite flat, pretty good for classical stuff but everything else the silver castor is better tuned.
