Thank you kindly! Looking at my previous post, it sounds like I am much older than I really am. lol!! I got into music and audio at a young age(memories of mending 8tracks for the family stereo!) and purchased my marantz(2220b $20) around age 16.
On a lark, I decided to plug my t50's straight into the passport. Before the ES I would use it as a source, then into either the marantz or technics(sa-8000x quad:dual hp jacks!). The pp headphone out needs max volume but sounds alright. Nothing offensive, just a bit lean. It was an odd experience. I hadn't heard that particular sound in a while. Memories/feelings came to the forefront. It's really something and suprising, sound sigs can trigger that.
Plugged into the 3.5mm ES there is more than enough volume and low end definition. Highs are clear and open. Just simply great. The ES alone doesnt grip my t50's and fling them around like my bigger amps, but being the size of a 9volt, I have little reason to complain. With the warm weather and perhaps laziness, I've neglected using the vintage behemoths. I may just be getting less picky in my old age

Good questions. I use the ES100 similarly, and I have also been wondering how the battery longevity will be affected.
Wow! I applaud your convictions. I read over that BB Passport review (I was a BB user), Seems like a good sounding gizmo! But it can't handle the T50RP's? Throw it away lol! (j/k j/k)
Actually, that review makes me want to dig out my Colorfly C3... it's been a while and I miss it!
