Topic: Octamic XTC headphone out and peakhold

After using the Octamic XTC for a few weeks now, I have two comments/suggestions.
I really do not like the feeling of the headphone's output jack. The jack of my headphone (Neutrik) does not hold strongly in the output jack. And i have only full contact, if it is fully plugged in, even when it is only a mm off, i have mono.
The second thing I noticed, in the midiremote i have the option for peakhold. This works for the midiremote display, but not for the meters of the Octamic. Maybe you could change that in the next firmware update? Also there is no option for peakhold in the Octamic's menu, only in the midiremote.

Otherwise this is really a great piece.

Can't agree to that. Of course the objective is to plug it in fully...
Am using a Shure SRH 840 .. The plug sits tight .. no problems so far.

What headphones do you use ?

I fitted my Beyer dt770 with a Neutrik jack. I will try with other jacks as well. But with the Neutrik I have no tight feeling.
