I searched EarStudio ES100 on Amazon but the product doesn't come up, this needs to be FIX!
You are right. That is new. Terrible. I can get to product page from Order History so it's still available

Very interesting, this link works:
https://www.amazon.com/EarStudio-ES100-24Bit-High-Resolution-Bluetooth-unbalanced/dp/B078H4YD2L/
Searching in Amazon worked before but doesn't find it now.

I just bought mine from Amazon earlier this week and received it a couple of days ago. At the time there was a $10 off coupon, but it is no longer there (it might have been a Prime Day promotion).

Yea I missed that deal, It sucks. Does the ES100 ever occasionally go on sale? Would like to grab them sooner or later.
It's well worth the retail of $100. With LDAC it's making my M3s obsolete.

i have to pay 149usd here in mexico, and i regret nothing. Now im discovering that my M&D MH40 (which sounds detailed and resolution but with a dark sound) sounds quite better than any phone can, and now them sounds more balanced with a bass head rumble (dark-balanced?) only supered in dynamics via a proper portable amp.

I guess the ES100 can be only upgradeable if added a more powerful amp and also a bigger battery to feed it and maybe increasing the overall battery-life.

I just got back from a trip and I used my XB10 a lot. I do like the sound quality of it. I just ordered the EarStudio so it will be interesting to see how it compares. I do like the looks of the features in the software.

Got a chance to test out the new Fiio BTR3 at Canjam, and boy it sounds quite good. Apparently it'll be £55. Great build quality too with metal and glass. I want to pick up an es100 too, but now I kind of want to test them both at the same time.

Will the btr3 have an app (with EQ etc)? Also,what is the battery life?

No report from any testers of a BTR3 app, though that may be due to NDA terms; who knows?

EQ is a very appealing feature to me, especially given non-jailbroken iOS limitations. Apple obviously isn’t serious about EQ. Can you even save EQ presets in iTunes on any platform? At this point, I’d prefer the AAC get sent to the receiver and processed there by something made by someone who really cares about what music sounds like on earphones/headphones.

I was experimenting with single-frequency test tones (manually sweeping with a foobar2000 DSP component), and noticed that my own sensitivity to frequencies above 6 KHz varied a lot from left to right.

So, are there any mid/hi-fi portable stereo equalization solutions out there?

DCT still works on my phone and codec (AAC on iOS). Maybe it’s a limitation of their new LDAC codec (assuming you’re using LDAC)?
That makes sense
