The more I listen to the BTR5 (LDAC 660, UAPP, Tidal HiFi) I appreciate its SQ more and more. Now I think that it slightly surpasses the ES100's SQ especially for clearer highs and better stage(?).

Note: anyway the SQ difference between the two (A/B test) is very small. I can say that either is the right choice.

I bought this es100 and also the new fiio btr5. I love how both sounds I would say it's a draw overall.

Interesting. I plugged my IMR R1 into the balanced output of my ES100 the other day and was a bit disappointed to be honest. Cymbals lacked texture, and I am increasingly disturbed by how soft and veiled it sounds overall, even if I’m not an analytical listener. My V30 is really in another league. I remember auditioning Shanling’s up2 and finding it congested and bloaty and not an improvement on the ES100 at all. But I was hoping the newest generation of BT receivers would bring substantial upgrades.

I am eager to find out how the Qudelix unit performs, and in the meantime I should get my Nuraloop - now there’s a promising wireless prospect.

Try these settings, you won't believe how ES100 sounds
Stock settings are just horrible.

Thanks! I'll try those settings.

Waiting for the Qudelix-5k. It looks pretty badass. But it didn't deliver on time, and the BTR5 seems to be a big improvement. Turned out the BTR5 is indeed well-designed. If you consider the build quality, design and features overall, the BTR5 is a big win and worth every penny. ES100 mk2 seems too plasticky and cheap in comparison.

You have not updated the firmware for more than a year.
Will siri / google assistant launch using the eS100?

Umm...what? Unsure what you are trying to daisy chain. Are you trying to listen to Radio audio through headphones in the car? If so, that doesn't work lol

Bluetooth would work.

Sorry maybe I completely misunderstand the concept of

Works as Preamplifier in vehicles
3.5mm output to car AUX
CAR MODE support(auto power on/off)

So basically using it as a Bluetooth receiver, right?
