Can you guys please take the codex arguments to the sound science part of this forum.

I feel like it's a never ending discussion (like Android vs Apple) and it doesn't belong to the topic of this thead imo.

Have you guys enabled crossfeed ? From what i understand, it is helpful for older recordings, (such as Stairway to Heaven), where there are parts, where sound is coming from only one side . Otherwise, do you perceive a positive difference?

Eh, I should look careful what was link for adapter. In my area "from" means source of signal. So unbalanced output can be converted to balanced input by cable - not going to become balanced signal at all, but it will work.

I apologize for confusion. My bad.

Just to make sure, which one did you say it's okay to do:
1. Connect my unbalanced headphones to balanced input (2.5mm)

Or

2. Connect my balanced headphones to unbalanced input (3.5mm)?

With an adapter (2.5mm balanced female to 3.5mm SE male) you can connect your balanced headphone to the SE 3.5mm output. Of course there's no reason to do this but if you've got a nice balanced cable and would like to use your headphones/IEM's with a single ended source it may be more convenient just to add an adapter instead of changing the whole cable. I hope this makes sense.

Peter said it right.

Guys, it seems as if every few days, we are getting into an argument on different codecs. Would be great, if we can focus back on the topic, as it seems to go nowhere.

No offense intended. Peace

@wslee and others: I have a couple concerns with my ES100. Anyone else notice the first one?

Has anyone had the same issue with changing voice call volume not affect output volume on es100? It seems my call source volume is like 100%. So each call I have to turn the ES100 way down and slowly at that. Then after music resumes and it's too quiet and I have to turn it back up. This is on a Samsung S7.

Is there any chance to make the status LED configurable? I watch a lot of movies in the dark and it's quite annoying. I will tape over it for now.

I dont have that particular issue, my issue is that the device loses connection to the app at times. I think its mostly if I close down the app and then try to restart it. Then the ES100 wont be able to connect to the app until I restart it.

Also the EQ doesn't get reseted probarly after a restart at times. It can be on the "Rock setting" in the meny but still be flat.

And yees, I agree with the whole LED notification, I'ld like to control it.

If you are not happy with the current stuff you own because of any of the reasons Submash mentioned, but you are quite happy with it because in you opinion your gear works fine, then you are cursed to repeat buysing process instead of enjoying listening to music on your current gear. Happy those who do not go back to any of the HeadFi threads. Just saying - I am only pointing you back to what is important. Listen to music occasionally and do not waste time discussing. Submash's hobby is to play game with your concepts, but listening to music and not going back here to forums is better hobby.

I don't think I have run into that particular bug with the app not seeing the device yet. Nor the EQ improper state bug. I will have to watch out for it to see if I can reproduce the issue.

It's really tough with LEDs these days. Tape on everything. Props to Radsone for not making it blindingly bright at least.

Yes, a soap opera of codecs. On Jun11, my Samsung S7 should be upgraded to Oreo. I'm hoping I can then listen to the AAC episode of the soap opera to find out what it's all about lol

Do you have the same volume control problem for in call volume as me? I have an S7 as well. Canadian Oreo update should be June 11th.

That's a very lossy coded youre sporting!

Just joking - I dont mind at all that you did that.

The links in your sig are interesting. You (and all moderators) should include a link to "banned sellers" because its hard to keep track.
