I have the es100. Do you prefer sending the sound from the AP80 to the Earstudio?I just received mine today and it's pretty good.
I prefer balanced cable over 3.5mm and most of my cables are balanced. AP80 only have 3.5mm port so I just use the ES100.I have the es100. Do you prefer sending the sound from the AP80 to the Earstudio?
Got my AP80, with 40$ of customs fee.... oh well. Build quality is ok at best, slightly wobbly volume wheel. Sound wise I like it up to around 50-60% of volume, then it starts getting confused. So I guess the amp section isn't quite there for the well implemented dac section.
This wasn't a surprise though, you can only do so much in such a small space so overall it's still a positive impression.

LDAC is still unsupported. Scratch that, LDAC is now supported, as shown on @echolocati's pic below.
Sincerely looking forward to a future firmware update with most of the fixes andLDAC support. Yay LDAC users!

Nope, I didn't saw any changelog for this particular firmware update version, even on their official website or on their Facebook page. All I know about this FW update is that it was first came pre-installed on the stainless steel models. Doesn't seem to have any significant changes over version 1.0; some of the issues that needed fixing (ticker text scrolling issues, album art not showing on Hiby Link app, etc.) are still there.Hey

So LDAC finally works now in ver. 1.0.1 beta, judging from the "L" indicator (before, it only shows "A" even if you use LDAC). That's great news to AP80 users with Sony LDAC headphones, then. I personally don't own any LDAC-supported products to test at the moment, that's why I didn't knew it was finally supported. I only have two aptX KZ Bluetooth cables right now. LDAC users, rejoice!Hey,
updated successfully, too.
One thing I noticed instantly - LDAC works now perfectly with my Sony WH-1000XM3!!

Nothing for DSD files !!! And Iso files don't work!!!
So DSD files still sound hissy? Looks like the only major improvement in ver. 1.0.1 beta is the LDAC support.

I can also confirm that bluetooth streaming goes beyond SBC now. So we can at least strike that off the list. When I look up the AP80 among my paired bluetooth devices on the Galaxy S8, there is now a toggle for LDAC.
