Why does the music itself always start playing when I plug in an IEM?

Mine shows a charging symbol and % charge for a few seconds and then the screen goes dark. I suggest you get something more to your liking.Another small issue with the SP3000.

Music doesn’t start playing on mine when I plug in an IEM. It starts when I press the play button. Maybe you’re a fake person sent here by the gods of annoyance?Why does the music itself always start playing when I plug in an IEM?

I've had my SP3000 four weeks now replacing my SP2000. I love it. I find it a bit bulky but that's my only complaint. The new interface is a big improvement. I find the sound just as detailed as the old model, but with a better sense of the music hanging together. My feet tap more with the new model.
It's also worth noting that I am using InEar's PMXs with a SIN Audio cable. This is a magical combination with the SP3000. I really didn't expect it to be so good. The PMXs have a wooden shell which adds just a little warmth and body to the sound, which makes vocals really stand out. These are €2k IEMs and I was expecting to have to spend a further €4k on IEMs such as Odin, Raven, etc. but now I'm not so sure I need to do so. The SP3000/PMX combination is so musical I recommend it for those who don't have a huge budget.

In your opinion, which dap has the best low frequency extension, sp2k or sp3k?
I’m talking about how low the bass can go, not about the quantity of it.

To answer that I'd need to do a serious side by side comparison and I no longer have my SP2000. Sorry.

I bought it new,so I don't know what the problem is with this amazing-playing DAP.
I considered returning it to the seller, but nothing that plays better is sold in this country even at an extra cost.

Could you have a faulty unit or perhaps it needs a hard reset?I bought it new,so I don't know what the problem is with this amazing-playing DAP.

@JasonNYC Any movement in getting Roon ARC to work again on the SP3000? This was one of the major reasons why I bought the device.
