The DAC Digital Filter settings are now inoperable. All four selections sound the same. It's probably the default Slow Roll-Off. Factory reset didn't help. Not sure whether an app update or firmware update broke it. Shame on me for not testing thoroughly. All other features OK. The equalizer Q option was a nice addition. Otherwise a fantastic device!

Marvelous. The Earstudio is an example of a Kickstarter project done right. Even though the sound is relatively similar to that of the FiiO BTR3, comparing the apps is like comparing an anthill to a mountain. The companion app for the ES100 is loaded with features to customise the sound, features that FiiO Music will probably never have. Also, to the one who said the digital filters sound the same, to the vast majority of people that will be the case. An oscilloscope shows there is a difference.

I was already quite impressed with the ES100 device and had considered an app for it to be a gimmick until I saw someone mention all the stuff it could control, even while the device is being used as a USB DAC for a computer. It makes a perfect companion to my new Shure SE846 earphones, and as one of the few things I have that can drive them properly it's all the more valuable to me. ES100, especially with this app, saved me having to buy more expensive equipment. **EDIT: I do wish there was a way to add more rows of empty EQ preset slots.** **Oh and if it's possible to add a parametric EQ that would make it just about perfect**
