I am extremely impressed with AMP14 paired with CFA Clara.

No hiss with AMP14 CA Clara?

Yes there is some hiss with CA Clara but less than amp 15. As you are forced to use balanced output there is very, very little adjustment available on the volume knob to find a good volume that isn't too loud or too quiet. Just a fair warning.

Ive received mine today. Wow, I'm impressed. Only tried it with my u12t but it sounds amazing. Matter of interest, is a screen protector already installed,?

Yes screen protector comes factory. When I got mine I had to email Bloom to see if I didn't get a used one that someone had the screen protector installed lol

See my previous post - I talk about that in some detail.

I have no idea. Just told I would be getting a new FW IMG. My guess is same version just redone in that format. I will know tomorrow when I get it and test it. It will then be applied to my 2nd unit that is held back from China shipment for repairs at Bloom at my request. Bloom will follow my guide and flash it.

I used o-rings on other IEMs too. I used on 64A Trio. I can't say how much I love Maven II + DX340 SG mode. You won't be disappointed if you get a set. If I go insane and want to sell my spare set I will send you a PM.

I'm thinking of getting the maven 2 to use with my dx340. Does it work for all genres? I listen to everything from classical to edm

What’s the issue with the Nunchaku? I thought it was getting good reviews?

iBasso fanboys are very hard to please. They’ve been spoilt by many excellent releases, the expectation is very high. The Nanchaku is far far away from meeting that minimum spark joy line. While it’s not a bad dongle. It’s also very pedestrian.

I have found that my issues with WiFi noise are predominantly due to my main listening is done very close to my WiFi router. When I'm in the office or working in my home office, there is no noise.

Yes, that’s the point I made yesterday about being too close to an external WiFi source (router, extender, access point, etc) with a device that has Nutubes in it (Amp14, PB5, EA4,etc). I’m glad you can enjoy your Amp14 now!

This is definitely an issue that can really not be fixed. I think most other tubes stuff will have similar issues. I know my M30 did similarly and so does PB5. Hence I always try to sit further from them. As long as I am 8 feets away, I will be safe

Just curious, are you guys using a 2.4 or 5 GHz WiFi network?

That’s interesting! I didn’t mention a safe distance to be noise free from the devices…..but I am a minimum of 7-8 ft away from my extender.

I’m very familiar with EMI/EMF/RFI issues and propagation. My other hobby I’ve been enjoying for decades is metal detecting, and interference from cell towers, underground electrical devices from light poles/sprinkler systems, nearby alarm systems, etc can cause a metal detector to malfunction and limit the ability to hear the fainter, deeper targets in the ground. The way a detector propagates EMI is thru better shielding along with being able to adjust its operating frequencies to minimize interference to allow the operator to hear the faintest of metallic targets. It’s just another hobby that can take you further down the rabbit hole with newer technologies/engineering, but that’s what hobbies tend to lead to.

@Stouthart
I’m on a 5 GHz WiFi network. My Extender is transmitting/operating in MAX power mode to provide more coverage in my entire house.

I broadcast both, but I am connected to 2.4 on DX340 if I'm not mistaken.

Hey guys. All you old hands with mod cards and Amp14. Why is no one talking about how freaking amazing they sound on the 340?

@DingDongMonster First thank you for your impression if the AMP12EXN-S OPA1655. I have the same amp form Steve on my DX320 at the moment.
My question is what is your impression of the DX320 vs the DX340 using this card?
Just a quick feeling of the differences, if you can remember, would be very helpful! I'm still on the fence as I'm still enjoying the DX320 with the EE Odyssey IEM.

Cheers from an old hand,

My Jutem case finally arrived!

Ordered January 20, delivered today on March 13.

It has been a long wait but worth it!
Case is dark and subtle but contrasts nicely with my pure silver IEM cables

I ordered mine without the micro SD card cutout because I prefer more solid leather on the top.

On another note: My Elysian Apostles finally arrived today, can't wait to rip open the package!

Where do I order the case from?
