How is the earstudio signature?

Im not an audiophile what I can say is that the Earstudio ES100 using the ATH M50x is way better sound quality than my Sony H900N bluetooth both using LDAC!
Sony does not allow you to use EQ while using LDAC .Earstudio ES100 allows the use of EQ regardless of its LDAC codec. But I dont know why my LGV20 using Aptxhd sounds better than My note 8 using LDAC.

My review on iBasso DX150 is live now!

I invite you to read more about it, if you're curious about a DAP that has a midrange price, but has a high-end kind of performance, and a lot of cool stuff going on for it!!

Sexy in red. Looks like the jack weighs more than the DAP

Love that Tequila bottle, reminds me of the necklace I made my wife some years back I see you have put some wear on the NX1 and I'm sure it's still running like a top

Nice Photo's @Dobrescu George & @PinkyPowers

God I had a love hate thing going with the ipod touch.

Love the form factor, ui (say what you want about apple, but there's a reason they hardly release firmware updates the stuff never needs it really) audiobook/podcast support out the box. HATED (note capitals)lack of microsd slot,Itunes, proprietary cable connector, Itunes, and camera on the 128 model which meant I couldn't buy one, oh and did I mention Itunes?

Anyway post pics it said. Campfire Audio Comets with custom tips from Custom Art.

I hear ya David, you know the old Apple motto: It's our way or the highway I have a 4th Gen Shuffle, 2 X 3rd Gen touch's, 3 X iPhone 4 retired to DAP's only and an original iPad, maybe have purchased 35-40 songs from iTunes in my life however I have converted as much as I can squeeze into 32GB's! As you say and I do love the Apple UI but their motto is going to be their downfall one day IMO even the dedicated Touch units don't hold a candle to the finer DAPS made today but they still beat no music at all

Got tired of mine by noon and switched over to this and immediately realize what my Touch is missing

Also HIDIZS AP80

The guys from HIDIZS are running a KS campaign of sorts as well at the moment. Like,... this one is okay. Really nice build quality, stable, works alright, nothing to complain about really.

Have 2 Six Generation IPod Touch DAPs of 32GB and a 16GB Fifth Generation Touch. All I use outside of the house. ITunes is a pain, but as far a form factor; they are amazing. I still really like the sound, though 1/2 the time I use Bluetooth. I’m guessing they are not going to make any more of them? But for me all my good sounding stuff is too heavy or expensive to walk around with; so the IPod still fits the bill. I run them on shuffle mode always. Maybe it’s my ears, but other budget DAPs sound “off” and the UI is always clunky in comparison to the Touch.

But in reality the IPod Touch is probibly the device I use the most. I use it to tune my guitars and surf the inter-webs.

Apple motto too funny. You should see what they put vendors thru, its close to indentured servitude ala North Korean army.

The best sounding “audiophile” IPod was the Shuffle. But Apple will never go in reverse and reintroduce technology, cuz that’s not their style.

The 6th generation Touch drains battery due to increased processing power. So the 5th Generation Touch was the best one, though Apple can’t see that either.

Glad someone else remembers the Shuffle being such a classic. I remember the 1st generations had better sound than the later ones, and the 1GB version had enough space to hold one full WAV album. Ergonomics were unbeatable.

I had the 1st Gen shuffle, loved it, gave it to my now ex gf, oh regrets.
