Hi from Berlin. I have the same problem. All 4 MIDI-ports are so tight, that it is possible only to stick the plug in for about 2 mm. That does not feel right. Pushing farther in I do not like because I am afraid the MIDI-sockets might break on the soldering spots on the inside.
The used cables plug easy into all my other devices, so it is a problem with the NDLR-connectors.
My device is new with fw 1.1.073.
My solution: I opened the case. Now it was possible to force a plug full in with supporting the sockets with my fingers, so it would not break the soldering spots on the board. After doing so for 3 times on every socket, the connection is now in a way as expected.
The problem seems to be too tight socket-springs (or maybe misaligned) for the 5 pins of each connector. Maybe a quality problem of the used parts?
Otherwise I really enjoy the NDLR very much.
Take care all.
