so would a ES100 drive (do it justice..) the Tin P1 properly?

I've had the same issue, no charity will take them. All for hygienic reasons it seems which I understand, but also find annoying. My parent's are going to India in a few weeks so I am giving them all my IEMs and a few earbuds to take down there to donate to a music school. Let me know if you'd like to donate any of yours as well to them. My parents will will donate school uniforms, food, and the headphones this time around.
I think in balanced on high gain it should go easyso would a ES100 drive (do it justice..) the Tin P1 properly?

I'd also be very surprised if that's not enough. @B9Scrambler should be able to give us the answer
Should but cannot. I refer you to post blah above.
Your image is too bad for attracting charity. By that I mean that you have an IEM that's too expensive in your avatar. I'm so poor I don't even have an avatar You should choose an avatar with an earphone that's rated F on crinacle's list, maybe that'll helpAhh I'm from India please donate me some earphone.
Like seriously if it's possible and alright.
Ok on high or low gain ?ES100 with P1 - Source at 100% volume
3.5mm : I'm at a good low listening volume at -15dB (-60dB to +6dB scale) but can definitely get louder if i wanted to.
2.5mm : I'm good at about -15dB volume as well
in both cases -10dB would be my "fun" listening volume.
so, yea this thing is pushing the ES100, but it can handle it.
Well actually I listened to a lot of sets there from $500-2k. Andromeda, Solaris, Hyla, UE18/RR, CanalWorks, Faudio Major, IER-Z1R, Dunu dk4001, etc... The only ones that captured my attention were the Acoustune 1650, Oriolus Reborn/MK2 (lovely), Andromeda/Solaris (solaris is way too big for my asian ears), and Canalworks U12aex (wonderful what 2 BA does in this set).
Figured I'd drop some subjective impressions on a bunch of budget gear I had a chance to listen to last night. Impressions are based on a couple minutes with each earphone, scanning through bits and pieces of tracks I am intimately familiar with. Keep your grains of salt close by. I'll keep things straight and to the point since fluff is offensive. Let's start with a recent hype train love child.
Sony MH755: Didn't realize the Harmon curve was intended for bassheads. Mids are weird. Somewhat recessed, fairly lean. Would need more time to nail down what's wrong with it. Treble is clear and detailed, fairly reserved and imo the most enjoyable aspect. Sound stage is generic budget cheapo; i.e. nothing special. Overall somewhat forgettable but enjoyable enough for a generic, consumer friendly tune. Worth the ten bucks, but I'd rather spend half that on the better built and sounding (imo) EDR1, or even the ancient YHC S600 or whatever name it's going by nowadays.
One thing I got out of this is that TRN is all over the place with their tunes. Not a bad thing because variety is the spice of life, unless of course you feel everything should prescribe to one "perfect" tune. Other brands (KZ, BQEYZ come to mind) seem to just rehash the same signature with mild variations. Not necessarily a bad thing if done well, but it does get boring and predictable. Good on TRN for trying something new with almost every release.
I don't understand your notation. -xdB of what? What's the resulting volume? Or are those numbers just some player specific markers without any measurements underpinning them?ES100 with P1 - Source at 100% volume

I find that planars, in general, like higher output impedence. Do you find that to be true with these. Not just power but higher output ratings.ES100 with P1 - Source at 100% volume
