The Avantree Oasis Plus (BT apt-X HD LL Transceiver) arrived from Amazon today.
Pairing the ES100 with the Oasis Plus, was fast and easy.
It's connected with SPDIF (Toslink) to my home audio system, and allows me to play High Res audio through my ES100. Sounds great!

My Es-100 is frozen in the on position. The green led stays lit constantly and none of the buttons work. I can't connect with any devices It's bricked.
Is there a way to reset it without connecting to the app? There must be some way to turn this thing off.

We've been working on the system freezing issue, and the next F/W update would have reset on frozen.
Assuming every corner case, we hardly can prevent the system freezing.
But at least we may able to reset the system after a few seconds after freezing.
We'll release the next F/W update early next week.
Please let us know any freezing issue before and after the next F/W update.
Thanks,
WS

Connect a usb cable to it (that's connected to charger or computer)

Really liking this so far.
An extra thank you for the pleasant chime sound for power and connections. My other BT headphones and adapters have annoying voices to announce power/connect.

 

[ranwill]

Thanks. That worked.

Edit: I probably was reading wrong documentation - https://www.head-fi.org/threads/radsone-earstudio.867366/page-75#post-14237690

So I just found that pretty much all balanced 2.5mm connectors made as L-,L+,R+,R- while EarStudio is

So unless one specifically requested connection as above - it will be out of phase.
Standard Shure and Sennheiser balanced cables are going to be wrong.
Test it here - https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_polaritycheck.php or better use any multimeter and check where your grounds are.

What you show is the Astell & Kern 2.5mm TRRS Standard wiring. So, looks like Radsone ES100 is using that standard.

FYI, the following DAP's use that same 2.5mm wiring for their 2.5mm Balanced output jacks: A&K players with a balanced 2.5mm output, Fiio X5 3rd Gen, X7 (with AM3), Onkyo DP-X1, Pioneer XDP-300R, Cayin N5, The Bit Opus #1 DAC, Luxury and Precision L3 DAC; ( and probably a lot of other newer devices with a balanced 2.5mm output )

Here is another chart of AK 2.5 mm

Now if you look really really close - you can see a tiny difference I'm talking about, @CactusPete23

Need another picture?

EarStudio is NOT a standard balanced pinout.

You're going to have Left/Right and polarity wrong with standard cables.

Been enjoying the ES100 for a few months now and just performed the latest firmware upgrade. Norton Antivirus program loading on my Win7 PC flagged the firmware application as malware and deleted ths file. I temp disabled Norton and the firmware installed fine. Should I be worried? Firmware download was directly from the Ear-Studio webpage.

So I have both the ES100 and FIIO Q5 with AM3...are the balanced outputs wired different in these? AM3 = A&K and ES100 = standard trrs?

No, they are not the same. You can check L/R https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_stereo.php and polarity https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_polaritycheck.php (or use multimeter) and report.

Ok, thanks for the info!

Now, this is really confusing. If you read manual - it shows different pin-out (from DualDrive description PDF)

But for some reason, it was not sending a signal like that for me. I need to double check tomorrow.

Edit: Ok, I think I know the reason - I was using the picture above from DualDrive description

and ordered Sennheiser cable like that and forgot. Which made it wrong polarity (I found that later) and L/R (I switched plugs in the beginning). So I've checked with multimeter Shure cable and found the same grounds at the outsides and made the wrong assumption about the whole thing.

I will double check that, but so far it sounds plausible and 2.5mm socket of ES100 probably standard AK2.5 according to manual.

For what it's worth (probably not a whole lot), Today I both learned that there are different types of balanced cables for headphones today and I also tested the cable I'm using on the sound test referenced earlier. The cable I'm using ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076SHDYTF/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) at least seems to be the compatible type of wiring that that the ES100 is expecting, and my shure 535s.

Edit: Ironically this is my first ever actual post here, even though I created my account back in '06. -cheers!
