Just FYI, that flash sale of $50 ES100's, was fake. I received some no-brand USB bluetooth receiver instead

Amazon Prime members get 20% discount off ES100 right now makeing it $80. I used the free 30 day trial membership then canceled the prime membership before the $12.99 a month fee begins.

Ok just a heads up I found something better than the es100 for mmcx iem's!

Ok, ready
MEE BTX2 mmcx!
What you say but I'm doing back to back tests and the btx2 is killing it in sound quality for me and dare I say it but maybe for you too!

Granted the es100 has a wonderful app and control

But for sound and only sound btx2 wins hands down for me.

Try mine

125. -2dB
250. -5dB
500. -5dB
1k. -5dB
2k. +1dB
4k. +3dB
8k. -3dB
16k. +1dB

I used it when I still had iSine 10, got that from consulting with KMANN as well. A long time ago though. Hope it helps

Nice equipment btw, I was thinking of getting myself one to test some cheap iem lol

Man, this one sounds revealing. I love it! Thanks it really helps

I’ll pass on the cabling option(s), MMCX or not

Anyone know on usb mode is there anyway to use it without my mobile charging it?
I using shanling l2 otg.

 

[JeffroGymnast]

Tap on the battery bar in the app. There is a setting in there to do exactly that.

Might be an option if you listen with one dedicated iem. Not practical if often switch between 2 or many.

Also not practical for sensitive iem as it needs iematch in the chain.

I cant ignore an iematch in the chain of andromeda

I do all the time. Not sure why you think that?

I don't understand what ( sensitive iem as it needs iematch in the chain) your talking about please you could educate me, as to what that is?

Sensitive IEM, we are talking really sensitive iem that will produce hissing at 1 OI (output impedance) etc, such as Andromeda. Over sensitive IEM has a significant sound different on every different output impedance. Yes, this is not placebo.

There is FR of andromeda with different OI. All of them are different. Significant difference.

Edit: usually ba drivers, that needs less current. Overpowering it will make the bass boom. It depends on the user, love boomy bass or accurate bass. I do love accurate bass.

So if I understand what you're saying is, the the mee btx2 is to powerful? And you can say this site unseen with no research but the earstudio es100 is not.
Is that right?

With respect

No.

Dac always comes first. But with ulra sensitive iem, you need to make sure the output impedance is on the right value.

Es100 has audio jack, it has 2x current and 1x current. The 1x current sounds good enough for andro but i still not prefer it. I add iematch to add more resistance to separate the mids and bass a lil more.

Just want to share my minimal setup.

Jelly Pro -> LDAC 24/96 -> ES100 -> HD25 =
