Would you mind getting the download for me since you have an account with them? This business of having to register and go through all this for the update is very disheartening...

Hisound really needs to work on providing these updates to native English speakers in a much easier manner....

Already have the latest firmware on my N3. So far, I didn't notice any significant improvement over the last firmware (not in a bad way).
 
Here are the bugfixs:
1) Further increase output power.
2) Various bugfix.
3) BA based earphone optimization.
 
Don't really know what (3) means, but the volume increment isn't nearly as significant as last times. Maybe 10% or less? Though at this point, I do feel the overall volume output is enough to cover most typical headphone.

Just updated my N1. Seems like not much update is done. Old problem still remains.
One thing I realized, now in Folder mode no need hold Back to back to main menu. Just once click.

What headphones have you tried with the N3. ?
USER EQ should be loud enough to drive my DT1350, but it isn't yet. I can't see any change with this update.
It does sound very good using HIFI or HSA but I shouldn't have to use EQ preset just to drive portable phones.
Anyone worked out what the HIFI EQ setting is? It sounds quite flat to me

I'm not really sure of the benefits brought on by the latest update.... Well besides my screen no longer glitching. But it all shows up in red now. I kinda like the blue lettering .

Mainly RE0, which is either the easiest nor the hardest to drive. I stick to HiFi most of the time, which is fairly flat in frequency response as per my RMAA measurement. There is a some bass roll-off, but it has nothing to do with EQ.

As ClieOs says, HiFi seems to be their flat plus gain setting and HSA their 'flat compensated' sig. Both are VG with HSA2.0 a bit more lively but not radically different in tonal character. If you're an adjustable EQ user with inefficient phones this one probably is not for you. I can use the EQ setting with my IEMs and get plenty of gain but it will be an issue for some.
