didn't Dale say there will be aesthetic options for the ASG-1? Other than the 1.2 revision, what else is being updated for the ASG-1? I just hope with the new IEMs coming out that the ASG-1 won't be left aside...

guys, my cable is starting to green, looks old and dirty now. Whats the best way to clean it? or is there a good aftermarket cable that pairs well with the ASG-1?

I would describe the Um3x in very similar way as you. Its not the best iem out there but for some reason, you just feel satisfied because everything is there. It delivers the full package. Quote:    

yes that was what i meant haha, neutral setting considered by Swans manual. But im getting good results at 12oclock and controlling the rest with my DAC.   Quote:  

yeah i believe 12oclock is the most neutral setting on it in my opinion.   Quote:  

haha.. hard question actually.. both are have their advantages i like both for what they are. I tend to strive more on soundstage which asg-1 is able to give compared to um3x. But um3x are one of the most intimate phones i've ever heard...   Quote:  

yeah not really... the size is kinda small to fit asg and dap but too big for just the asg-1 in my pocket. Really liked the clamshell from westone when i had my um3x so the vault should be a good choice for my needs.   Quote:  

yeah i switched it off now. Basically the sound has become what i wanted it to be.   Quote:  

Reviews for the D2 is quite rare for some reason. Maybe try looking into the Grant Fidelity Tube-DAC11, its popularity is starting to begin on headfi with numerous reviews. You will definitely like it with your setup.   Quote:  

I leave both dials at 12oclock and volume at 9oclock. The rest is controlled through my dac/amp.   Quote:  

the shoutiness are now gone for me...i guess burn in does make a huge difference on the ASG-1. The usual EQ setting i had on J3 barely makes a difference now.   Quote:  

thanks blaine... i might settle on this case now... looks really good.. thanks   Quote:  

yeah i don't like that annoying memory effect on the EPIC cables so the ASG-1 stock cable is much better in this aspect. One thing i don't like about it is its slightly long for daily use, and the the memory wire tube part is longer than usual. I hope there will be more selection in customizing...

what was the solution?   Quote:  

thanks, i'll await your post. Cheers   Quote:
