Now people have had their GB Kensei for awhile can anyone let me know how you get on with EMI interference from swapping mobile phone cell towers? I notice on train journeys with my KA5 they suffer a lot from interference when the iPhone switches masts… the iFi sales pitch mentions:

• Precision stainless-steel enclosure for EMI shielding

So hoping this is not an issue with the GBK…

Also will the leather cases available for the units available third part for the OG fit this one? ie same led positions and physical size between the original vs the Kensei…

I've not had one issue with EMI interference with the Kensei

While usual aluminum casings is ususally better at emi protection, the stainless steel housing on the kensei should still be more then enough 'protection'

It will be interesting to hear from anyone who may be able to replicate the circumstances he is looking for.

I don't think I have a train within 50 miles of me sadly...

Cheers!!

Does anyone have both Kensei and Gryphon to compare for IEMs soundwise only? I am interrested in an upgrade from Go Bar OG. I don't care about size difference, as the portability is still there, but I am interrested for the maximum possible sonic performance. I was debating myself between Mojo 2 and Gryphon, but as Kensei entered the game, I am very interrested.

If the device connected to PC, is there any volume level indicator ?

If I remember correctly the volume is indicated by the LEDs on the unit when adjusting.

Cheers!!

You can enable volume sync by pressing the settings button for more than 8 seconds. But I don't have good results on this as the sync is always off. The Windows volume dial is always off sometimes setting the Kensei very loud. When in sync there is a way to manage volume from the ifi Audio Device Control Panel, but I haven't found documentation on how to use the dials yet.
