Did you check the log of your security software? Try to disable or exit those security software on your computer and try again. Also use an USB 2.0 not 3.0 port or another 2.0 port. Hope this works for you.

They don't even have a illustration to show us how it looks like, it's like a myth - either it's super top secret that it shouldn't let the public know or they don't want acknowledge that the gain jumper exist in the first place. And now they are saying it could be a batch issue? So even 6moon...

I feel for you bro... It's a long wait for your toy and you even go through a difficult path by asking someone to purchase on your behalf and now this has happened. Asus should compensate you for your time - not just the swapping only. I'm also a faithful with Asus.... You should see my rig, and...

Wouldn't it be easier if you could show us an illustration? A picture speaks a thousand word, I'm sure you know that...and you let a user that paid a premium to search high and low for it.

Quote: Did you check the contents in the box? Maybe Asus will ask you solder that gain jumper on your own...which is self-explanatory.   Pun intended.  

Quote: Man... i don't even recognize it as E1 anymore.... Asus should sued you for destroying their product (or modifying it way above their original specs)... HAHAHA   Jokes aside - Kudo for your efforts in modding this, hope it turns out to be a monster that even Asus will need to bow...

Quote: guess its him... haha

Quote: Wait a minute.... which means Asus is doing false advertising? And that explain why it was never even mentioned in their official website's specs/features and was not included in the manual as well? There was also no "real" illustration shown in reviews etc...kind of skeptical -...

Quote: This is the first E1 muses version unboxing in youtube or video. congrats!!

Quote: Which is why i think all the board across the versions are the same.... but our Asus rep told us a different thing... hmm..

Quote: Oh man... that's a waste.... quickly pacify your woman and get back to real business!   You got a truckload of guys here waiting for your dissecting.... haha

After dissecting my E1... i got this feeling that the intended gain jumper should be located here.... as there is a blank white box near to the headphone volume pot.   Can anyone confirm this? :)    

Quote:   Turokrocks -  congrats on your new purchase!! i meant finally it has arrived for you...haha... enjoy.   When you have a moment, is it alright if you open it up and show us the gain jumper since its not in your manual as well.   TIA :)

Quote: Hey Tim,   Just responded - check your inbox.   Nah... i didn't think your words were harsh - you got me wrong there as well... - ha! i just felt bad to have someone purchasing something for me across two continents. My earlier comments was meant to be a lighthearted query...

I already tried searching everywhere online.... eBay is too expensive and it's US based so shipping charges and declaration for my custom tax still applies. Never mind - I'm just asking in a lighthearted manner. Didn't expect to trouble you on this either Tim.

-Double post-

I'm using either my iPhone or iPad mini to correspond in here.... How to get these emoticon mobile mode? Hmm.... Can I entrust you in helping me to get the muses E1 then? :-)

Not quite... Maybe it's just that no one could answer you back for your comments? Lol

I wish I could - but most online store don't ship out of US and it will cost a bomb for the shipping due to the weight of it plus the 7% custom tax that I need to pay for this to enter Singapore. Life sux dude... Hmmm

Hi there, I'm using a pretty sensitive iem JH16pro and I already tested with it without the gain control in the E1 base version. It doesn't have the range that I can control - simply put it - the headphone pot of the E1 is too powerful hence covering up most details in the iem. I need something...

Sorry about the pressure bud.... But my guess is that you (yourself) can't wait to get your hands on this baby as well - right? Hahaha :-)

Hi asus! Thanks for your special appearance and response to my inquiry. Due to the location where I'm from (Singapore), there is a MOQ imposed to our distro which makes it difficult for them to bring in E1 muses. As such, i'm left with few options - either I parallel import one without...

Noted with thanks. I guess one of the representative from asus just replied one post after yours.

Hi Kenion, me too... I register to this particular thread just to find out about this. Though I already monitor and read all your postings from day one. Ha! Turockrock.... It's now back to u.... as the only hope. It's just weird that I can't find any info about this gain jumper anywhere...
