Those Amazon reviews are really going through the roof... :)

5/5 on Amazon.ca
4,7/5 on Amazon.com
4,7/5 on Amazon.de

Stunning! Just wish more "professional" people reviewed it to spread the word even more, there is like one review on Engadget AU i believe.

I wouldn’t mind some test results from https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php. They do amps and DACs...even budget Behringer [edit] musician stuff that blows doors on some of the budget audio enthusiast Schiit [edit: all while] using 10-yr-old Cirrus Logic DAC chips.

A bit off topic maybe but I'm looking for a short USB C to micro USB cable to go with my pixel2+es100. Any recommendations? I prefer Amazon :)

Try looking at the ForzaAudioWorks site, that’s where I got mine. They’re in Poland I believe.

Simple plug and play DAC operation on my Linux laptop and Windows 10 PC. Love the versatility of these devices.

although if I'm not mistaken the ES100 is locked on a lower bitrate and resolution on usb mode, as it wasn't exactly meant to be an usb DAC solution

just a heads up, windows 10 supposedly natively supports aptx, and i think aptx HD and aptx LL. Since theres no app, i cant see what codec is being used. Has anyone tried the multi-device pairing with the es100 to see if the app can tell what codec is being used?

also, is there some way to add an LED color indicator that changes/flashes based on what codec is being used?

Do you have an Android or iOS device? If so, the ES100 pairs as 2 device types to those portable OSs, meaning that the portable device app can be used to control and monitor the ES100 even if it is streaming audio from your Windows 10 device.

ES100 doesn't support aptX-LL. That said, I haven't gotten aptX-HD working in Windows 10 yet, just aptX. Has anyone else gotten aptX-HD or LDAC to work from Windows 10?

They can't support you here - contact radsone by email or Facebook. It's unusual case and sounds like hardware problem - maybe shortcut on your wires damaged amplifiers.
