Nice rig the DX100 with optical cable (or coax cable) to the iFi micro iDSD.
 
But you need the 'normal' gain to drive this In-Ears? They need so much power? Wow only my HD800 needs 'normal' gain, for In-Ears I use 'Eco' gain with IEMatch on.

  Not a very good photo but this was all thrown into my pack in doing my Lotoo Paw Gold review at Starbucks. Definitely scared 1/2 the girls away at the cafe.

Is that the Truth cable?

I use the little coax which came with the DX100, perfect size. I was actually experimenting a little just before I took the shot.  The phones are 15ohm and with the power mode normal I get to about 10 o'clock on the volume pot (no IEMATCH) with IEMATCH set to high I get 11 o'clock but normally, like you I use ECO  mode and IEMATCH at high, this lets me crank the dial from 12 to 2 o'clock which is a sweet spot for me.

Thanks for the reply, you could use the short FiiO L12S optical cable too (I guess the optical port from the DX100 is a 3,5mm output), which is a little bit shorter and smaller to connecet your DX100 with the iDSD.

Nowhere near as impressive as some, but I'm more than happy with it (for now!)
 
FiiO X5
Ultimate Ears UE900 with FiiO cable & frankenstein tips made up of the wax-guard cores from Comply TX-200 plus orange triple flanges that came with MEElectronics Sport-Fi M6
(the MEElectronics are on sale on Amazon for $10.99 for another 8hrs - worth it just for the tips!)

That's some sweet gear...  But can you dance to it? :wink:
