In English, [ds'] is pronounced as [dz'], which is the same as the pronunciation of [z] in Chinese Pinyin and the Pinyin of子(zǐ). [z]
belongs to blade-alveolar. When pronouncing it, the bottom teeth bite gently to
stop the extension of the tongue’s tip, unaspirated. If the answer does not
tackle your question, you can consult the professional teachers from
echineselearning.com and listen to their explanation.

for me it sounds very close to the English [dz] as in ‘beds’. There might be some minor differences though.
