I’d love to hear your comparisons between your 340/AMP14 standalone and your 340/AMP15 fed into your EA4. Also, would there be further tonalities/improvements of a 340/Amp14 LO into your EA4?
This is something I plan to do in the coming days. Interesting comparison indeed.

I mounted the AMP14 yesterday. For my taste, an immediate better tonality than the 16 and the 15. The AMP14 is a very musical match with the DAC of the DX340.
Can you expound further on the differences you hear between amp14 vs. amp15?... and how that shapes your preference? Thanks for any additional info/opinions.

I am very interested in your amp14 LO to your EA4 impressions. Currently I'm just linking my EA4 with amp16 via the PO A/B mode. I think I have like several days before my chance to return/exchange the amp16 is over :laughing:

For the time being and only after a few hours, I would say that the Amp14 sound more "analogue" that the Amp15, which is excellent too. The Amp15 is more revealing, more neutral, maybe more "Hi-Fi". The Amp14 brings a little more soul and matter to the sound, and especially vocals benefit from the Amp14.

It's really a question of sound preferences at the end of the day between both amps. I could live 100% happy with the 15, but now I cannot ignore that the 14 exists.

My goodness you are helping and not helping! 🤣

While I eagerly await your amp14 LO to EA4 impressions, another question I suppose is do you see room to keep both amp14 and amp16?

Another good question. Mmmh, I don’t think I will use the Amp16 a lot now, but it’s too soon to draw final conclusions. Still, I have no reason to switch amp-cards again, as my preference goes to the 14.

Has anyone successfully updated their 340? My attempts fail from internal storage and the SD card. Suggestions?

I was just about to ask if there is a shutdown timer in the DX340! And here we go :)
Installed from the SD card. Tested. The DX340 was shutdown as promised :)

Has anyone else that ordered a Jutem case received theirs? (other than the ones who already posted)

I was told upon placing my order it would take 40 days... here we are 53 days later and I haven't heard from them... The cases very well may be excellent but unfortunately the service is garbage...
I just received mine today. I emailed Jutem when it was at the 38 day mark and it was shipped out maybe 2 days after. That was last week. Also, no tariffs were charged to me and I am in Texas.

Same problem for me, OTA says no updates are available and local update fails. Maybe region locked for US?
