Nice. I presume those are koss ksc35's? Love them (but in the form of sportapro drivers on parts express headband).

And is that a Radsone? Nice as well!

 

[alpha421]

You are correct on both accounts. I have the KSC35 2.5mm balanced and the combo makes a great sounding and convenient pair when walking the dog or yard work.

I just ordered one of these and can't wait to try it out! I'll be using Beyerdynamic DT 770's @ 80 ohms and Shure E3's.

Now I'm researching modifying my DT 770's. I'd like to convert to a detachable cable and am considering a 4-pin mini XLR. I'd like to make two cables: 1. Single ended cable (4 pin mini XLR at headphone to 3.5mm TRS with common ground) for using the DT 770's with normal devices; and 2. Balanced cable ( 4 pin mini XLR at headphone to 2.5mm TRRS) for ES100 connection. I've never used a balanced earphone connection and am curious if I should expect a noticeable improvement? Also, from what I've read I should not use the 2X voltage mode in full differential on the ES100 with these headphones as they are only 80 ohms (not >300 ohms as stated in the Radsone document). Can this be locked out on the app so that it isn't activated accidentally?

on the ES100, using the balanced 2.5 has a clear and definite improvement compared to the 3.5mm

Btw how good is the clip? Will it stay sturdy for some light training seasons?

Or some not-so-light?

You're not making the wait for my balanced cable to get here from aliexpress any easier lol

It has been lost in a state of "Departed country of origin" since Apr24. Hopefully it will surface soon!

When you install ES100 app, you will see the detailed description on 1x, 2x voltage mode. And you can lock the output mode as you want to.

We're now testing the new F/W v1.2 and will release it mid next week.

[New features]
- power off when USB charger connected (optional)
- Crossfeed
- Mic. loopback during voice call (you can hear your own voice fed back to your IEM)

And finally MAC OS F/W update is now available from v1.2.

Thanks and Regards,
WS

Just got mine today!
Trying to figure out basic settings. Can someone explain what Analog Volume means? With it set at the default -23.0, my headphones require the device volume to be turned up all the way in order to reach a decent (not loud) volume.
I turned it all the way up and now have the source volume down to about 1/3 for similar volume.
I'm using an iphone 8 with AAC codec now.

Source volume should be maxed out and only change analog through the app or through the device controls. If you need a little more volume you can play with the preamp in the equalizer.

Aha. I'll have to get used to making adjustments from the earstudio rather than the phone's buttons. I am now maxed on source and about 50% Analog.
Thanks.
