BTW, a "Bluetooth integrated amp" for stationary home use is not competitive any more with the streaming services over WiFi. Connecting a Chromecast Audio via optical cable to an amp ( or a regular Chromecast via HDMI to a AV receiver for audio output) offers more range and higher quality.

I can't hear any difference myself. What's your impression between them?
Ldac has better resolution and more punch compared aptx sounds for me fuzzy and lifeless maybe becouse i am prerty young and can notice smallest differences

Are you using aptx or aptx-hd ? For me the HD version is near/same as LDAC.
For sure younger ears can still hear highest frequencies.
Used to try it now but cant activatet aptx hd it goes automatic too sbc

I have a question, how's the soundstage with es100?

It isn't as wide and deep as out of v30. I'd say 15% less, noticed it right away but es100 has definitely more power and drives iems louder.
Oh crap... I want a wide sounstage. Should i just get v30 used then? Or xdsd?

I don't know about xdsd but as to v30 it doesn't have the widest soundstage either. For instance my jvc fx750 which is opened back and is considered top tier soundstage iem, sound way better from my laptop than v30 but despite that I still listen the most of the time to es100 because of convenience on the go.

True, convinience will change the game. Thats why i take both es100 and xdsd to try out

We are excited to announce that we have new products coming out soon.
In the next quarter, we will introduce true high-resolution earphones fully reproducing up to 40kHz...

And this is why I roll my eyes at "Hi-Fi".

Who cares if "true high-resolution" earphones "reproduce" up to to 40kHz? That's a 'bigger is better' marketing number like e-stats claiming 100kHz. The only 'measurement' of value is the quality of reproduction within human auditory ranges - which is less than half of that for an adult.

(Anyway, my ES100 broke after a month: started dropping connections, stopped charging. I don't miss it at all, but I do wish that I could at least give it to someone and not feel guily..)

That hurts my hifi heart. But within a month, then you definitely are within warranty. Get a new one. Mine is running fine since day one after the indegogo campain just a bit of degradation of the battery.

On another topic im suuuper interested in the ES200. I hope it will have as good or better app/tool to control it than the ES100. Im eager to read about it and hopefully put it in my 2.0 system at home :)
