Are you able to physically connect the Es100 Mk2 to your phone with a cable (e.g. 3.5mm)?

I couldn't see a 3.5mm input on the Es100. Wondering if it can maybe be done with a 3.5mm-to-MicroUSB cable perhaps?

No such feature exists on ES100.

Since the Es100 has a microphone, if I use a cable with an in-line microphone, which microphone will end up getting used during calls?

The one on ES100.

...And maybe also read the manual a bit.

Thanks.

Actually I don't own the Es100 so don't have a manual, however I could find the Mk1 version online (https://fccid.io/2AOJCES100/User-Manual/User-Manual-3694132.iframe) but can't find much detail on the microphone utilization.

Is es100 usb to external usb dac/amp a potential future feature via software update? Because Shanling M0 supposedly does this, so it is possible. And I could imagine a lot of people who desires to use eq with their amp, this will become very desirable.

This question has came up on just about every BT adapters threads (ES100's, FiiO's, SHanling's, etc) I read, multiple times as well - the answer is the same: it is impossible to implement on the hardware level. Shanling M0 is a DAP with its own little CPU and OS inside, much like a tiny PC and therefore can support USB audio output. ES100 is a Bluetooth adapter without that kind of hardware / software inside, and thus it is NOT POSSIBLE to output USB audio, desirable or not.

Besides, you can already use EQ on the ES100.

Manual are on ES100 homepage (as well as inside the app): https://earstudio.store/products/es100

...and before anyone asked: ES100 MK1 (*the original model) and MK2 are the same thing with minor cosmetic reversion.

The solution is for Radsone to make a DAP, with features of the ES100. I’d totally buy one!

+1. As long as they made it with a balanced output, enough power (like 500+mw from balanced out) and the great bluetooth connectivity. LDAC is a must for me. And price it under $500. THAT would be a Fiio and Hiby killer, imo.

Well then, when is the app on ES100 going to be compatible with the M0?

...Like, never?

That's like asking when is the Spotify app going to be compatible with Tidal.

Can anyone recommend a good protective cover for the Es100 (MK2)? Are covers for these even available?

I ordered another ES100 just last week, was shipped yesterday. So quite fast at that... but unfortunately DHL takes 18€ for processing customs fees (with the fees themselves as expected around 25€), so despite the generous rebate of 30% plus free shipping it’s still more expensive than ordering from Amazon... which I wanted to avoid.

nevertheless, still a very nice device. Since, against all knowledge to the better, I ordered an EVE20, which I‘ll use on the go (well...) I wanted to have another ES100 for it (the other one feeds an N8). I think having the ES100 in a per-IEM configuration saves me the trouble of double checking to take it with me, and reconfiguring it — I like the SPL estimation feature

 

[dh0licious]

Agreed, @wslee bug report - prioritise USB audio automatically if both are connected from the same device

Did this ever get fixed?

My ES100 was shipped on 27th, arrived 29th! Amazing.

i notice that the Play/Pause and Volume buttons have a bit of play, is this normal?

Yes. They’re just plastic pieces that float on top of a SMD micro push button.

Basically, the ‘buttons’ you see are not buttons. They’re small pieces of plastic that you push, that in turn push the real buttons.

Most electronics use a similar method. The ES100 uses tolerances that are within acceptable ranges, so there is nothing to worry about.
