Radsone EarStudio ES100
The bug fix was to make the pre-amp slider represent the selected forced reduction. I must still continue to compensate for this pointless forced reduction in pre-amp functionality. This is a great product, but the cross feed implementation should have been the wake-up call, it doesn't work...- PiSkyHiFi

Yeah sorry, I came across as little arrogant there, I just really love this device and I'm a bit frustrated that I have been listening to it, posting about it and surprised now to find my EQ settings were out the whole time. At the very start of this whole thread, @wslee talked about the need...- PiSkyHiFi

Direct Memory Access - yeah I remember that. For this device, I always open Powershell inside the windows folder and run the fw batch file, just intuitive for me being a Linux geek.- PiSkyHiFi

Radsone EarStudio ES100
I was unable to get the app to recognise my fw 1.41 revision device just then, the device turned on and worked, but no app control. I tried removing the device from the app list, but it would not connect to the mac address of this device. I was forced to revert to 1.32 to get it working again...- PiSkyHiFi

Yes, that will help you, but be careful of the EQ pre-sets and volume until the bug is fixed.- PiSkyHiFi

There is a major bug in the pre-amp section of EQ in this firmware. I'm sure they are working on a fix... is the EQ on when you experience the drop in volume?- PiSkyHiFi

The pre-amp settings Is really buggy, I can't even describe accurately what's going wrong. Please fix, or hire me and I'll come to South Korea or wherever you are and fix - I just want this thing to stay awesome.- PiSkyHiFi

I suggest if a real Auto Gain Protector can't be programmed, simply use the inverse of the highest value in the EQ bands as the pre-amp protector and show it changing the pre-amp value so the user is not confused - a switch that when on, automatically changes the pre-amp slider as you change the...- PiSkyHiFi

There does seem to be something odd with the EQ pre-amp setting, there is a bug that when you apply a pre-set, it recorded the pre-amp setting in the pre-set, but doesn't apply it properly. If I have a pre-amp boost of 1.9 set for a particular EQ pre-set, then it looks like it applies, but...- PiSkyHiFi

Well, it's just that there are 2 stages, let's say stage 1 is where there is the signal coming from your phone to the Bluetooth output and stage 2 is where the signal is inside the ES100 just prior to the EQ before the final result is sent to the DAC/AMP combo. Essentially, for best results...- PiSkyHiFi

I've been under the assumption that the EQ section had no hidden pre-amp, now since the new firmware, I know there is -6dB pre-pre-amp applied as well as your own EQ pre-amp, I have adjusted accordingly, you simply need to make sure any given EQ frequency band plus the current EQ pre-amp value...- PiSkyHiFi

I agree with much of this, especially point 7 - this is what I was expecting from an automatic gain limiter, needs to analyse the source signal in real-time comparing to the output from the preamp and eq and reduce the volume instantly to prevent clipping, restoring the requested set volume upon...- PiSkyHiFi

OK, so after my rather assertive post about AptX HD and the new 1.40 firmware experiencing dropouts, @wslee actually let me try a version 1.41 bugfix for this straight away... Yep, you did it Radsone, it's been playing for a solid 10 minutes now with AptX HD without any skipping. I realise...- PiSkyHiFi

First, when we get LDAC, we get a rather BS diagram that's supposed to demonstrate just how much more brilliant it is than the other codecs, despite using a single sine wave - standard practice for a DSP application, but completely useless for information compression and reveals only how the...- PiSkyHiFi
