I hear no hiss with any of my gear at gain and imp of 0 or 1 (any combo).  Very minor hiss at gull gain on really high (non-listenable levels) volume.

You're not missing anything...just JetAudio and out of date drivers and firmware.  It's all there on the site.

Rockbox is good for poorly implemented UI's, but the J3's is nice.  That said, some of the community-designed UI's, like Kizune's efforts are awesome alternatives though.  I use the standard UI with Aero Music for the music player, as I like the added functionality without having to leave the...

I'd do that too, but at any given time I have around five gigs worth of podcasts.  Nothing like going from Iron Maiden to BBC's "History of the World in 100 Objects".

Yeah, as in this thread was brought back from the dead after a decade...  

I think that's one of the oldest thread necromancies I've ever seen.  10 years!

Aha!  I asked you about this in the EQ settings thread, and I see you have the answer here...the reason for the lower battery life is the lossless files.  They take a lot more processing power to play.  If you stuck to lossy mp3, you'd get much closer to the 64 hour rating, but in my...

I'll try your settings too, King...the SM3 seems very dependant on source material and equipment to shine, but curiously enough doesn't benefit hardly at all from any sort of amping.  I don't know if you changed the "width" settings on the EQ or not, but it looks like my settings have a little...
