What’s that sharge thingy?Do you have a contact where I could get one of the cables made?
I just bought Amp14, can't wait to install on my 340 later! 

Current owner of the dx300. How is the scroll wheel on this model. It seems to be more reccessed looking at the design. Does it still double as a power button and do you have any accidental press or scrolling. General question to the group. Thank you
Yes, it's power and volume combined. I have mine set to disable the controls when the screen is off so there is no accidental movement when it's pocketed.Current owner of the dx300.

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.I just bought Amp14, can't wait to install on my 340 later!![]()
I am extremely impressed with AMP14 paired with CFA Clara.

Do you get any hiss with APM14 and the Clara or are you using an adapter with them?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.

In general do you feel the APM14 or other tube amps work with IEMs?
I'm only using IEMs and I'm trying to figure out how excited I should be to get the amp16
It’s a powerbank. Sharge Storm 2.What’s that sharge thingy?
The feature that this powerbank has is a configurable DC output.
Don't have any issues with WiFi interference on Amp14. Sounds really good with female vocals & I'm using a cheap iem like Tago Studio T3-02 yet it sounds heavenly.I have found that my issues with WiFi noise are predominantly due to my main listening is done very close to my WiFi router.

My only concern is does Amp14 draw a lot more battery than the stock Amp15?
My Amp14 is just less than 1 hour & how long does it takes to fully burned in? And does the burn in different a lot from a fresh unit?

Usually. Solid state is 100 hours. Tubes is 200 to 300 hours. After that. The change should be negligible.Don't have any issues with WiFi interference on Amp14. Sounds really good with female vocals & I'm using a cheap iem like Tago Studio T3-02 yet it sounds heavenly.

glad you got the last amp 14 from zepp & co, those that hesitated, let’s hope amp 16 turns out not like the Nunchaku dongle.

I listen always in high gain no matter the IEM and I'm not using an impedence adapter. With Clara on AMP14, the tiniest bit of hiss, although if I switch to low or medium gain I don't hear it at all. With AMP15 & Clara, I can hear hiss when the music is not playing or in very quiet parts of a track, but it really doesn't bother me thankfully. If I lower the gain it drops way down, but I feel the dynamics suffer as well.Do you get any hiss with APM14 and the Clara or are you using an adapter with them?

With my other IEMs I don't hear hiss at all with either module on DX340. I don't have a ton on hand right now, but MG800 (for sale), BGVP DMA (soon to be for sale), Hidizs MP145 (soon to be for sale), Thieaudio Elixir, and Fiio FH5.
Luckily, hiss is one of the rare cases where audio nervosa doesn't affect me. I guess I have spent enough time listening to SET amps in my 2 channel rig that hiss and buzz don't bother me and I have just come to accept them as a part of the experience. I don't need Darth Vader levels of blackness to be satisfied. That is just me though and I know many folks are more sensitive to hiss. Keep in mind I'm also in my 40s so my hearing isn't what it used to be. Never had it measured though.
I can't speak to AMP16, but I will say AMP14 isn't super "tubey" sounding. Not to say it doesn't have some of the magic associated with tubes, because it does. But it's not super thick, relaxed, warm, etc traits that people often associate with tubes. Also no idea on the noise floor for AMP16 because it is a completely different architecture than AMP14.
No choice, after hearing so many good things about Amp14 got to be fast otherwise no more stocks!Tsk took you long enough, haha, two whole days!

I don’t have high anticipation for Amp16 honestly, given its lower price point meaning it is below Amp14. Also if Amp16 is sounds like Nachuku (which also using the same tube) then it won’t suits my taste.
