Plugged my JH16, and I can hear a faint sound at 0 volume. max I can bare is 8:00.
I am 99% sure that there is no gain switch, Asus come on...
. A jumper, but where? at least provide instructions!

"Raja explained how
the three Essence One versions differ to reflect the price structure of [size=inherit][/size]
[size=inherit][/size]
and [size=inherit][/size]
for the Standard, Plus and Muses respectively.
"The difference is in the op-amps. The only other minor
change is that we included a gain jumper on the Muses Edition. This alters the output voltage for someone who wants to use IEMs which won't require as much gain as over-the-ear designs. Setting that jumper to the alternate position lowers the gain and thus achieves more range over the volume control. The Plus Edition includes 4 x TI-OPA2132PA and 2 x NS-LM4562NA that can be interchanged with the standard NE-5534. The Muses Edition simply has the version 01 Muses by default as the very best we've found. It thus ships with no other op-amps to swap. If a user wanted swap options
out of the box
, the Plus Edition would be the one. For obvious reasons the Plus includes a screw driver and two IC clamps plus step-by-step instructions and the op-amp guide of our listening impressions. The Muses op-amps are of limited supply and ..."
Wait a minute.... which means Asus is doing false advertising? And that explain why it was never even mentioned in their official website's specs/features and was not included in the manual as well? There was also no "real" illustration shown in reviews etc...kind of skeptical - unless you are able to find that hidden jumper (which shouldn't be hidden anyway).
That's very disappointing... I thought the Asus Rep here clarify the muses board was made out of another revision which differ from base/plus version?
I seriously hope my above statement is wrong though....
