Could someone compare gain of nova with something like iphone or pc? I am listening to music at around 70-100% on regular pc and around 70-90% on iphone 4/ipad. 
And i am using 32 ohm headphones btw.  

Holy ****. I listen  at like 35% on my iphone. 45 ohm iems.

50% on my ipod touch is equal to around 10 to 12 in the n1 volume setting,  the n1 is using either hifi,  hsa v1.0 and wooduo eq.  It is also a bit louder than fiio e17 with 20 volume

Also, when I was comparing to the Ipod touch, it was with the touch's stock music player. Most of the aftermarket player APPs like EQU or Carpriccio have less gain. The Nova 3 plays to the same max volume as Capriccio does on an Ipod touch. I'm not aware of anyone that has added the Capriccio app to play FLAC on an Ipod that has said that their Itouch/Iphone no longer plays loud enough. Of course it could happen for marginal combos but like with the Nova, it's more than fine for any in ears and many cans. I loaded my 1st youtube vid to show it responds quickly to input when using an approved size SD card with music files. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zfyLH2IHuk&feature=youtu.be

Do you use a Class4 card? Is there any additional noise while playing from microsd? I noticed some with a Class10 card.

 

[goodvibes]

32gb class 4 Sandisk which tend to run class 6. Quiet with a wav file.

 

[anoxy]

Yeah I'm thinking it's the class. Class 10 64gig card has hiss for me, and class 4 8gb card doesn't.

 

[goodvibes]

could be the 64gb as well. Unit is approved for 32gb which is the top sdhc available.

I notice some induced noise even with class 4 cards . The noise is definitely louder though on Class 10 64 GB cards to the point where it is audible no matter what volume I listened at.....

I have a hard time believing your ears are sensitive enough to hear the hiss while music is playing. Unless you mean during pauses in orchestral music or something. Either that or the hiss is extremely loud, but with other people saying they cannot even hear it, I question if that's the case.

I can also hear it during music playback depending on the tracks. I'm not sure how it is so hard to grasp that? I also pick up treble spikes on gear like no tomorrow and absolutely hate that aspect about certain said gear. Although the noise I'm hearing from the SD slot is not the hiss from the player, nor is it the same noise from the screen when it is on. I can detect all three noises.

 

[jaganeee]

i can also hear the hiss sound rarely.
but i can't able to predict when it is occurring.
the hiss sound is gone when the screen turns off.

Darn I miss my hisound sound signature Craving for my Rocoo BA so badly today, if I had cash now I probably order one from ebay. O well at least i am having the EX1000 in about a week time.

Maybe we need Class 2... But they are usually more expensive than Class 10...

 

[goodvibes]

I don't have any 64gb cards but my 32gb works great.  Kingstons tend to run at speed, Sandisc tend to run well above spec. My class 4 may be close to as fast as another class 10 or faster at certain tasks. Other cards may run below spec depending on test conditions. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/microsdhc-memory-card-performance,3011-12.html
