I am a fan of listening audiophile music. Before I receive Valhalla, I am enjoying music with Shure SE846. Shure Se846 is a highly reviewed IEM. After I hear the audiophile music from Valhalla it is observed some thing special additions in the musical instruments which felt the musicians are performing live infront of me on the stage. The fit of the IEM shell in the ear snug and comfortable. Those who are audiophile listeners ready to spend good amount of money for iems can go for this.
This DAC + Amp.is good with IEM. Got one case too which is useful for keeping iems. L shaped jack would be much better
Some hitting issue. But no problem.
Customer service is very š š
Have a great features and I am very happy after buying this m71 thanks audio store šš
I have been using KZ ZS12 Pro X IEM With mic for more than a week. Very good and satisfied and value for money.Delivery was fast and response from the audio store was very quick and support was excellent. Clarified all my doubts on whatsapp and I really appreciate The Audio Store for that. I will buy all my needs again from The Audio Store.
Good sound quality to the price. Volume is comparatively less.
After extensive searching for a suitable DAC to pair iPad (Type-C port) with a stereo amplifier+bookshelf speakers, I found the AUDIOCULAR D07 to be one of the best options at an affordable price. With the iPad set to 80-90% volume and the amplifier at 25%, it effortlessly fills a 200 sq. ft. room with music. The DAC comes with a zip pouch and a USB adapter, and its premium silver colour adds to the appeal. The order was delivered quickly, and Audiostoreās packaging was good.
I will bifurcate the review into two parts.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
Exceptional design and build quality
Balanced and detailed sound signature
Comfortable fit and lightweight
High-quality accessories
Cons:
Treble might lack precision for some
Bass could feel less textured compared to higher-end models
Time Spent with this DAP is more than 50 days, used many IEMs from Budget range to high end.
OBSERVATION & EXPERIENCE SO FAR.
- Wide soundstage, it's creating a spacious listening experience.
- Smooth and refined sound, with good bass & trebles. I liked it.
- little high Volume doesn't hurt ears because of spaciousness which this DAP creates.
- Main unique point is Vocals & Instruments separation, it's best.
- So far, I noticed Battery back up is really good. Will check it over time and provide feedback.
- Does not get warm that too after using for hours.
- Best software & Shanling Music app, it's very fast ( I use 1TB fully loaded Micro SD card.)
Please Note - Little more care is needed while handling as it has Glass tubes. Again it's unique offering & tubes makes music more enjoyable.
CONS-
1. Charging time ( it will get solve by software updates in future, Brand has co
nfirmed it in their post)
2. Only one colour option is available from Brand.
3. Some settings currently not present, Brand may add in future updates ( DSD gain Compensation, PEQ, MSEB, Night light short cut in quick pannel)
CONCLUSION-
a. Highly recommend those who want detailed & immersive experience.
b. THREE IN ONE- One DAP but three modes, all three sounds differently. One mode Transistor (without Tubes) and two Tube modes (Triode & Ultra- linear).
Sterdy & beautiful cable. I am using it with Hidiz MP145 Planner Magnetic IEM. It add details to music over stock cable. Makes all aspect of sound quality better.
I am writing review after One month regularly uses with my two DAP - Shanling M8t, Hiby R4.
POSITIVES-
1. Best Soundstage
2. Balanced sound
3. Musical & Makes music more enjoyable to ears.
4. No fatigue despite of metal construct.
5. Weight distribution is really good.
6. Largest Magnetic planner in the Category.
7. Details & instruments separation at best.
CONS-
1. Small ears may face challenge. Plz contact team ATS before purchase. Normal ear size, No issues with fit & long usage.
2. Stock cable is good but doesn't suit this IEM.
I am using this with Divinus Auram cable, which goes really well with this by appearance as well as by performance.
CONCLUSION-
1. Very very happy with the purchase. It's my main IEM in daily music journey.
2. My suggestion is Music enthusiast must have atleast one 'Planner Magnetic IEM', believe me I found that the the songs which I am listening since decades are sounding differently with some more details with this IEM.
The Dac I took was for Kz castor headphone amazing sound output I am getting the sound I require
I am using the Dac to watch movies on Ott platforms Netflix! Jiohotstar ! Etc etc and using the same for Amazon music !spotify
Amazing product u can feel the music or sounds through dac
Thank you audio store for an amazing product and for the price point is also nice as compared to other dac available
with this DAC the sound quality is signifant improvment can be seen with KZ Zsn pro2 and sony xb75 earphones. I have also used for office calls and the noise is totally reduced. with this DAC and the sound is amplified too. I dont see HiRes certification but this DAC is certainly superb. The case is also good for carrying IEM. I only worried if cable gets cut, wish it was L-Shaped.
Excellent quality cable, made a difference in the sound too!
I love the tunning by moondrop. Exactly how I wanted a balanced sound signature.
The KZ Castor is an excellent choice for budget audiophiles. It delivers superb sound quality that rivals much more expensive headphones, with clear highs, rich mids, and deep bass. The build quality is solid, offering both durability and comfort for long listening sessions. At its price, itās a fantastic value, outperforming many premium options. Highly recommended!
Bass is pretty good with all other details
Nice sound quality, giving you nice details in sound specially highs, excellent while you listen melodies.
My.first IEM and loving this. The earphones offer good noise isolation too. The music sound is very clear voice and instruments and good bass and no distortion. With and without the DAC is significant difference in audio improvement.can be felt. I choose KZ Zsn pro 2 over KZ castor pro (bass) and certainly made good decision.
