I have the same problem. The right channel volume is lower than the left. I have sent it back to Norway and they will ship it back soon. This was after weeks of trying to get the UK division to fix the problem, but they did not succeed stating that there was no problem to begin with! They tried...

Arrgh, this is doing my head in. I don't know if it is the music, the earphones or myself going crazy!

But it almost exclusively occurs in the left channel, very strange And I also seem to have no issues with distortion with Linkin Park :P

Hi guys I am getting distortion with my iems with certain songs. The songs almost all involve high gain guitars. The problem is that the distortion only occurs in the left channel! What! I have used everything from high end customs to budget earphones, and there is not difference. I also tried...

Holy crap....Starkey Norway have stopped producing in ear monitors!   http://www.starkey.no/starkey-slutter-a-produsere-in-ear-monitorer-av-typen-sa-series-erm-series-og-custom-handsfree

I changed the wax filters.....seemed to have done the trick! I just do not understand why they would create such distortion....

Ok, so some of the music I listen to is poorly mastered and this aggravates the distortion further, such as the albums Machine Head - The Blackening, Whitesnake - 1987 (remastered), Testament - Dark Roots of Earth.   But distortion still occurs on 'normal' albums to that are supposedly well...

To be honest I am not sure if it is the SA-43 causing distortion or the actual music being poorly mastered.   How can you tell the difference?   This distortion I am hearing always seems to happen on any music with highly distorted guitars.   I will give examples of songs which have...

Hi again   I have recently started to notice some distortion during some of my music listening. This usually occurs in metal music where the guitars are using heavy distortion (the good kind!), and it occurs in the higher frequencies. I seemed to have solved the problem with distortion with...

Thanks   The HUD-MX1 seems like a good option as a DAC and amp, but it doesn't have an input function to record an instrument for example.   Is there anything on the market that has a good DAC, amp and Hi-Z input?

Me again...lol   I am thinking about purchasing a usb audio interface mainly to record guitar but also to be used as a sound card for listening to movies/music etc.   I am thinking about the Focusrite 2i2 but I am not sure if they can get the best out of the SA-43.   Here are the key...

Hi   I am currently using my onboard realtek  sound chip to listen to audio, but the DAC sucks ass. I can also use it to record guitar but the latency is too high and there is too much noise.   I need an external card that ouputs high quality audio, can drive demanding earphones...

I would also like to know.....   I would also like to know the quality of the DAC that the quad capture uses.  Right now I use my 5 year old onboard realtek which absolutely sucks!   Am I right in thinking that the headphone output has to be a minimum of 1/8th of the impedance of the...
