The ES100 is a great dac-amp already. you will really need to spend like 3-4 times more to get a good DAP that challenges the ES100 (my Fiio X5iii plus A5 amp surpases the ES100 in dynamics and sound quality by a 15-20% more less) But is quite a heavy bundle and the screen / interfase isnt as polished as my S9+I'm testing the new FW + app right now and it feels better with 2 second power button.
Other than that i see a few changes in the app. Ofc new EQ and more presets available but also a small change to the over sampling buttons.
Big thanks to Radsone as usual!
Funny side note: I'm looking to get a DAP but i have to pay so much to step up from ES100s sound signature that im thinking there is no point in spending the big bucks for a DAP.
Only if you have really hard to drive headphones, a amp could help them
