My N8 Brass Black has some issue...
Sometimes when i turn on the tube mode it sounds only on the left earphone (like mono audio or something), then i restart the player and the full sound return in stereo, this only happens in tube mode...
Anyone has the same issue?
@Andykong is this normal?
I have the BB and have never had that issue. Tks.

This is abnormal, my N8 didn't have this problem and since N8 and N8BB use the same PCB and electronic components, they should behave exactly the same on this accord.

If this occurred repeatedly, please contact your N8 seller and seek their advice

The battery of my N8 BB discharges at night from 4 to 6% without using it. I asked my dealer who thought it was normal.

This is not normal. My N8 BB will hold its charge overnight and for extended periods if not used. mid zi charge it to 80% for example and do not use it for 24 hours, it is still at 80% the next day ( or 78-79% ). I tested this for someone else on their thread months back, and still the same today. You need a new battery.
However, you do need to shut it off. If you accidentally leave it on, it may discharge. Tks.

Did you turn off the player? or keep the player on (ie., at standby) when you said "without using it"?

If you keep the N8 on and leave it idle, you lost 1 % for every 3-4 hours standby, that sounds about right to me. that is 300-400 hours standby duration, and I think that is above average for a high power DAP.

Looks good BUT:

1. You have to remove the holder from the belt when you don't want to carry your N8 ( I simply take my man bag off as it has a strap).
2. A flap isn't as good as an opening that naturally closes even with the zip open. If you leave the flap open/unzipped, there is a risk that your N8 will fall out with a flap.
3. A flap doesn't provide any ventilation compared to an 'open' top with a zip. The flap traps the hot air produced by a N8 in balanced mode.

This leather holder is a far better looking holder than the cheap Lowepro camera bag I first used but sadly it has some of the problems of the camera bag.
