It don't have volume control?
I read somewhere direct plug in headphone/IEM will damage both user ear and headphone/IEM driver due to no volume controller.
Can't control the volume from the computer? hmm.gif

sorry techie noob here

This thing feels weird on my speakers, might be because im used to the EQ settings for my HCS2330

but connect it to my AdagioII, Consonance and M2......the sound is just.......fuh DAMN thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Alright, back to the UD100. I happen to have a few TF card reader collecting dust, so I took one part and see if the UD100 will fit inside. Well, what do you know...

For PC it's alright since you can control your winamp's volume. Straight from the line out from your phone I'm just worried your ears might explode.
Same case for amps without volume controls like HippoBox+ or Pipe amp.

Yeah, need to invest in amp soon.

I heard TS is coming up with a naked amp end of this year. brows.gif

Just for testing the purpose.....

usually i crank up the volume of my HCS2330 to 40 (75%) can hear loud distortion coming from the satellites

with the UD100 i crank all the way to 55 (93%) and hear only slightly distortion

Amazing indeed.
