A couple of reviews & Videos:

​

“Here I am at the very end of my time with this unit, and I don’t want to send it back.” Zero Fidelity

​

The Z10 has a very realistic musical presentation. It plays music with wonderful harmonics and richness but with musically quick transience and exceptional bass control. Mentioning the bass, the Z10 was able to carry the music with a really good rhythmic drive. The bass was also very well defined, very tight, and there wasn’t the least hint of a “one-note bass.” There was also a very natural air around and within most of the bass instruments.

The Z10 does its magic in the midrange, which is where the Z10 breathes life into the recording. I could hear small differences in voices and breathing, and the instruments had a rich harmonic structure. On piano solos, it was much easier to hear the differences from one piano to the other.” The Audio Beatnik
