goodvibesWhat does that even mean? The products suck in terms of quality control (it is 100% true, my first Ak240 had the volume issue, then my first AK240SS was scratched deeply, and my current AK240SS has the 2.5 issue, depending on the cable), so we should rejoice that they are widely distributed and thus widely serviced ?
I Met Alex An from Iriver Early This Month
He explained to Me about The grouding problem With AK '240 SS as follow :
On AK 240 SS now is The whole body as Ground
The problem some from TRRS at The End is as Ground too
This Contact can Become imbalance sound on our AK 240 SS
The next step AK solution is :
They make small sticker to Stick on our TRRS plug End
AK Will make Speciall TRRS plug For AK 240 SS .
I would like to Share simple solution For This problem :
For all new AK240 SS new owner please do these steps
1. Please don't take out the plastic protector on the AK 240 SS.
2. To make hole on your 2 Headphone out , please use toothpick or needle to stick in the center from these HO
And make it wider that your SE plug can go in , just plug in.
The same thing for your TRRS plug
It is very simple and it can solve the Grounding problem with all your existing TRRS plug

Note :
I never pull out all protective plastic on my Daps ans amps , to protect again scratches ,
With my AK 240 SS I don't have imbalance problem ,because of this protective plastic never take out
