That Swissbit card tip is solid too—definitely makes a noticeable difference.

Having a hard time finding the right Swissbit Could you provide a link?

You may want to try the Sandisk Edge instead. Based on below thread - and other positive feedback - I decided to skip Swissbit...without any regrets.

How does the SanDisk edge compare in this scale?

Unfortunately 2GB SLC is insufficient capacity. Maybe it can work if one don’t mind transferring songs from the Walkman internal storage into the card for playback.

My preference overall is still Sandisk Edge.
At zero hrs burn-in for all cards, the preference is Sandisk Edge, Swissbit SLC, Swissbit S55 followed by Micron.
Hopefully, will have more time to test a few more SLC that I brought.
I believe once we buy a "proper" SD card, it will be personal preference.

I have run into the same issue with the clicking in the left channel. I've had my 340 since Jan 3. I've tried everything (full reset multiple times, etc...) but the issue arises both in Android and Mango. Fell asleep with my iem's and was awakened by the same deafening white noise.

Did you figure out what the issue was? Has anyone else experienced this? I love the sound from this device when it's not glitching, but this is driving me nuts

I have the same issue with my unit. It does this occasionally and gone after restart. Really hope it will be fixed with the next FW update.

There are tons on Taobao but shipping time will be annoying and it is a pain to make an account on there.

Sandisk Edge Actually, I have multiple...but that is the one I have been using with the DX340.

Got the DX340 finally, my own unit. Incredible sound. Battery drain, 18% drain in 55mins. Which means approx 4.5 to 5.5 hours, give or take, from 100% to 0% on low gain. Damn...

A new battery will do that. After a week or so the battery life improves. I test a couple of units here and with IEMs, high gain and regular or high resolution music, about a 11% drain an hour at around 32 to 36 on the volume setting. The chemicals and other materials in the batteries need conditioning. You can also leave the DX340 plugged into the charger as it shuts off charging when the battery is at full capacity.

We should also have a new firmware late this week or early next week.

Battery will get better. Play and let it drain from 100-0 a couple of times

Yeah I lowkey noticed that battery drained faster than expected the first week or so, overtime I was suprised that it improved a whole lot. Like draining one percent per 8-12 minutes of playing FLAC/High Res files at IEM volume. HIGH Amp and HIGH DAC gain.

Obviously, not using your screen all the time and turning off Wifi (if not streaming) and setting to Airplane Mode would drain even less.

I should not even be able to login anymore on here but can't stand to see people having issues with my favorite DAP.

Email Bloom. They will replace your device with a brand new one if you bought it from them. If you bought from other place it will have to be sent to China by your dealer and Paul told me they will replace with new device as long as you bought from authorized dealer. My Bloom is being replaced with a brand new unit once they get new stock in. The batch ours came from has some issues. Paul told me they are looking into all of issues. I gave him a list. The very first batch seems to be good as once I flashed my other one it has been working perfectly. I expect next FW update will fix a lot of issues and maybe have some surprises.

You can try flashing to newest FW to see if that gets rid of noise. Ota updates are not reliable. When you do OTA the inactive boot gets the upgrade and active one while doing upgrade does not as androids have boot_a and boot_b. It gets it on next OTA update. This is what messed up my used 340 when it was reset and why I NEVER recommend doing OTA. Always flash with Qfil.

Anyone with poor battery life you need to conract your dealer for a replacement device. The drain on battery while using 12V DC in is being worked on by IBasso so that is a known issue.

For power bank 12V DC in this works perfectly and you can use for other stuff too and includes all the adapters. NO hissing.

For those that want best SQ and do local play get a Swissbit card! The difference is not small as I compared directly with a sandisk since I have two same iem sets and 2 340s. @Whitigir is Not wrong. The 340 is an extremely capable sonic master piece and so responsive to tweaks like this, beyond my expectations.

My guides will be up on Npaudio later this week when I have time. If you have questions or issues with guides etc pm me over there as any time now my account here will be deleted and I will be gone from here for good.

First of all, thank you to everyone that replied. I actually followed your instructions for flashing the firmware over a week ago. I thought it had fixed the issue as I went a few days without the popping in the left channel but it eventually came back after a long listening session and now happens intermittently.

I reached out to Bloom and they have told me to send the unit back to them to be examined. I will do that ASAP and see what happens. Thanks again!
