    Amp3 Pro2 and the STUDIO

    I've just update my pro 2 to 5.42. Just like to share that every time i set my player to random playback mode and restart it, they will start back up in normal play mode. It wouldn't stay at random play mode. So every time you switch on the pro 2, you have to manually go to settings and set them...

    Is my IE8 cable faulty?

    Ok. Now i'm officially irritated . Sennheiser Singapore told me the cables are not covered by their warranty after 6 months (for wear and tear issue). Then what does their 2 year warranty cover?!?? I've always handle the cables with care and same with demo1, i used the IE8 with the same source...

    Sennheiser IE8 Impressions Thread

    http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/w...ssions-430955/ Did you try the tip mod by decay? For my IE8s its a little different though. I stack the sennheiser half bi flange (backwards) first, follow by small sennheiser single flange and then finally medium UE single flange. If you don't have...

    Amp3

    Yup I though so too. Since the manual i downloaded from whiplashaudio has eq settings in the screenshot. I'm very happy with this player overall, although the interface still need alot of improvement imo. I actually find the buttons quite stiff and difficult to press also. But the SQ makes up...

    Amp3

    I just bought the pro 2 yesterday evening and was very impress with the SQ right out from box. The hiss is not an issue for me with my ie8 either. Its only when i tried to plug in the ac power and play it at the same time that i get some very irritating noise/hiss. Does the pro 1 have any...
