Every time I see this thread bumped , I hope it's about the upgrade, and every time I'm left disappointed. And now I am part of the problem lol

Things are probably going to be announced at the launch, whatever the program is gonna be is not just for us head-fi members, so it's gonna show up on their facebook page or someplace else first if not before here.

I've got the 1.2 version. Running it through poweramp on my note 2. It has a pretty awesome equalizer built into it so was hoping for a detailed EQ.

eke2k6 posted this a while back, you might try it out:
 
 

 
Here, try this EQ out: 2000 Hz : +1.5 dB. 4000 Hz : +2.0 dB. 5000 Hz : +2.0 dB. 8000 Hz : +2.0 dB. 12000 Hz : +5.0 dB 16000 Hz : +5.5 dB.
 
Let me know what you think. Also, check if you have any EQ setting already enabled on your players that may be interfering with the ASG-1.

I forgot that on iOS 6 B2, EQu works!  That said, I did play around with the EQ a bit to add a bit of sweetness to these, but also increase treble and detail.  IDK what everyone else is using for EQ, but here's mine (on EQu):
 

​

Don't hate on the song ​

 ​

That show, here's the EQ settings (10 bands):

1. 32 Hz  : -4.0 dB
2. 64 Hz  : -0.6 dB
3. 128 Hz:  0.0 dB (if possible, don't place a node here)
4. 250 Hz:  0.0 dB
5. 500 Hz: +0.1 dB
6. 1 kHz  : +1.5 dB
7. 2 kHz  : +3.0 dB (if "Shoutyness" occurs, lower to 2.5 or 2 dB or until your personal "shoutyness" "cap" is reached)
8. 4 kHz  :  0.0 dB
9. 8 kHz  : +2.0 dB
10. 16 kHz: +2.0 dB

 
If you listen to the vocals, you'll hear what I call sweetness or energy mainly due to the bump in the 1-4 kHz region.  The lowering of the sub-bass is to control it a bit and make the sound more punchy.  Increase in treble is self explanatory.  Now, this EQ works well for me, does add the sweetness I need, I wish it had it by default...  Reason being that EQu drains my battery like you wouldn't believe  With that said, I'm going to stop using the EQ and use something that is less processor intensive...  the stock music app (which means no EQ ).  That spike is something that is needed in my book to add sweetness and shoutyness.  Even if it's just a 2-2.5 dB bump.

No worries at all 

 
I was lucky enough to have a chance to order the AS-2's during the sale and then found out I won the ASG-2 which just makes me feel extremely lucky and grateful.  I am still trying to sell some things to make up for it (AS-2) and haven't even opened the set of iem's I had to have replaced (warranty).
 
I keep checking my email like a crazy person hoping for a ship date but I'm really not expecting to hear anything for a few more weeks - especially with NAMM and how many orders I'm sure they received during the sale.  The contest did give me a chance to pay it forward and I gave one of my sets of iem's to my nephew who's really into music. I feel like one of the best things about music is sharing it with others, right?  

 

[Idsynchrono_24]

Lucky nephew. So are you giving him the ASG-2 or another pair?

And yeah, one of the things I like about universals is sharing the sound with others. I can't do that with the ES5.

I gave him one of my other universal pairs.  In all honesty I figured there might be times when I really want/need the custom and others where I'd prefer the universal.  He's not quite old enough that I'd be willing to give him something like the ASG-2 just yet
