Just a ‘heads up’ for anyone wanting to buy, or even ‘try’ an M17…. They are available on Amazon UK for sale and at this current time and date there are six units available.

Dac mode, 4.4mm balanced
Dear friend,

Do you have another headphone to check whether the issue remains? The M17 has overload protection function, when the volume is too high, this function may be actived.

Best regards

Is it possible to switch automatically to enhanced headphone mode when we plug the DC 12V/3A in ? It seems the physical switch dedicated to this function is not really fully active ? I can just go to standard mode with it and it can't go back automatically to enhanced mode with this switch.
Dear friend,

Thanks for your kind feedback. We will report to the engineer for assessing about that.
And you could click the 'enable it' option after connecting to a DC supply.

Personally I really don't want the forced automatic switch. It wouldn't make sense for IEMs/sensitive headphones to suddenly switch to the highest gain, I imagine the sudden loudness increase would be dangerous as well.

Furthermore, it would be better if I could disable the prompt in the settings. It pains me I have to hide the prompt every time I connect DC because I want it to stay at its current gain level.

Thank you, It's what I do, but it's a bit annoying to do it every time... the hard switch on the side should be sufficient to chose and should be more convenient.

An iem that match perfect with M17? Thanks
For a few days, I am playing with a Vision Ears EXT which is really convincing with the M17 in enhanced audio mode. A smile coming out my face instantly. I didn't expect it, as I intended to use the DC mode with the HEDDphone One and DCA Stealth only. But the extra power in ultra low frequencies (10-20hz is present too)

The Sennheiser IE900 don't really need the enhanced mode, but those are working like a charm in Gain=M.
