I hate to have to ship it all the way back to iBasso China for service. I wonder if I open it with a #10Torx, I could somehow correct the adjustment to line up correctly?
YIKES!
Send an email to Paul - paul@ibasso.comMy gain knob on my #394 is way off kilter! The four positions 1-4 click and operate fine, but the line indicator does NOT line up with the 4 numbers "1,2,3,4" on the faceplate. The knob is not loose at all. The photo on the left is Gain control at the Gain 1 position. The photo on the right is Gain control at the Gain 4 position.

Yikes indeed, specially for something in that price range. Hope they get that fixed easily.My gain knob on my #394 is way off kilter!

Happened to me too. Something wrong with the gain switch. It’s working fine but won’t line up and changes position.My gain knob on my #394 is way off kilter!

Easy to fix. I looked at mine when I got it. The knob is brass with an insert and it is held to the inside face of the knob by double sided tape. If that slips or didn't make good contact initially with the knob insert, then it will move like yours. All you have to do is pull off the know, align the insert and then make sure it is pushed up well against the double sided tape that holds it to the inside face of the brass knob. No big deal. It is a D shaft, so it is just the insert in the knob that turned some.My gain knob on my #394 is way off kilter!

Clearly U4s! Absolute amazing IEM in that price region.I’m looking to buy a pair of IEMs under $1500.00 for the Max. Any ideas? Neutral with slightly elevated bass.
If you are using something that fits the bill, let us know.
just curious, why didn’t you jump on the 1000 stealth instead of OG?I just bought an open box V2 for $1259.00. They are out for now.
But, they have the stealth open box for $1259.00

Which do you prefer the stealth or SE with the max?just curious, why didn’t you jump on the 1000 stealth instead of OG?
It is the improved headphone, notably through its res and less grainy treble. Sublime with 320MAX too
I know the older version and have not heard the stealth. The V2 sounds very good with my desktop sys.just curious, why didn’t you jump on the 1000 stealth instead of OG?
