ahah was just curious, i clearly heard difference between balanced and unbalanced, but im pretty confident its placebo effect for the rest even dac filter...or I have some...bat hearing sixth sens when I concetrate very hard on critical listening(?).
As well...this big warning about using 2xoutput for balanced kind of make me paranoid so I do not try it. It say: don't use it with lower than 300ohm headphones or it will make explode your low impendance gear as well as ES100 and planet earth. Is it true?
It might, I'm not gonna mess around with something that I don't know
Personally, if I can't hear it, it stays at default. I move around a lot so most of them tiny details won't affect much for me.
I actually want to try balanced for my SE846 but still waiting for Amazon US to have Fiio new short 2.5mm cable (I have the 3.5 one and it's awesome/perfect for ES100 )
When using the ES100 as a USB DAC, In Charge Mode,
Do I choose:
- Normal Mode?
- Auto Power Off when Charger Connected?
The second one. Normal mode will restart the unit whenever you connect it so not great for USB DAC.
"Auto Power Off when Charger Connected" description does say that it turns off when connect to charger but will stay on with USB DAC
