Is there any hiss produced by this when no audio is being played? If you have your amp turned way up and pause the music, how quiet is it?

It is extremely clean. I have it connected to and iMac via USB. My amp is a Yaqin MC-100b amp with Golden Ear speakers. I also use Apple lossless to capture my music. If money were not an object, I would conceder an Oppo 105 because that would open the world of SACD for you.

additional...if your source files are CD's or MP3the DAC will be uselessin computing ... garbage in garbage out if you have Dog ears might make MP3 sound less "flat" anything less than FLAC source files ... waste of time and money

Nah man. I looked something up like that before. Its either your wiring in your house or you need to get your amp checked. Mine kinda makes a sound like that on OD2 on almost full gain and volume when my guitar is plugged in though. So check the wiring or you amp if nothing is plugged in and making that noise. Hope this helps.

Depends on which features, are set; volume of the master knob, or volume, that you have selected. It has a lot of options and some of the overdrive options do make pre-noise, hiss. Gain is very important too. RTFM. Read the Fn manual. :)

I also agree with the checking the cables but here's another thing to look at. This kind of interference or feedback only happens to me when I don't turn everything on in the right order. That is computer on, Pioneer DDJ-SR on, open Serato, turn on subwoofer (passing the Eris 8's via the sub (Temblor 10), the Eris 8's on. No feedback, although there is very minute hissing. If I turn the speakers on first all kinds of hissing and feedback. That's been my experience. Not sure how you're using these but Hope that points you towards resolution.

There could be many reasons for the hiss...have you troubleshooted main things like volume, mic setup in windows, tried another mic...? If all mics are same, then yes maybe so, otherwise, it could be mic, software, settings, where u plug it, compatibility etc..... I bought this as i had no sound from built in sound card, but my mic worked fine. I have an hp webcam with built in mic. This sc has software that you can make yourself sound like you are in a small room, big room, outside, etc... it plays my music, sounds fantastic. Might be worth trying just for that :D

I had no hiss, but check inside the bottom of the speaker I did have a piece of plastic wrap packed inside that caused a noise. But once I removed it, it was fine.

I don't use AUX input but just tried this and have the same hiss. With Disc, BT or USB I don't have it.

I use a beringer preamp picked up for $40, the hum went away, it has to do with noisy power from the audio source, not the amplifier.

Mine hisses. its not a loud hiss tho.... i only really play on the clean setting. You can get a pedal that reduces hiss.

It sounds like you must have a defective unit. I don't get a hum with either tubes or solid state amp. Sorry yours is making bad noises.

There is no hiss nor hum at all in my system at any setting with my Emotiva miniX A-100. The preamp is Parasound Halo P3. Speakers are KEF LS50. Cartridge is Denon DL-S1.

I got some feedback when using the amplifier in a small room and at high volume. Try lower volume or any close wall at front. If feedback is always present, maybe is defective.

Yes there is a hum (slight). What I hear is constant; no matter what volume I am set at. I actually had to exchange my first set due to amplifier 'popping'. Again, volume setting did not matter. I have decided not to let this hum problem bother me because it is inaudible when something is playing.

I'm no expert but I also hear a slight hiss when buds or ear phones first connect to any play list and before a tract or tracts are played. This hiss is only present when connected to an MP3 player before and after accessing a play list. There is no hiss during or between tracts or during paused play. It doesn't seem to matter what output is used so I don't think it has anything to do with your buds e.g. the hiss pattern appears even when I connect to Bluetooth speakers. Again this noise is slight and before your question I really had no attention on it.

Keep in mind that you can't hear an amp. You should check your decibel output and match it up with the decibel output of your sub! This sub does sound very good and does have excellent response!

Does the CD tray respond? Does it open when it is supposed to? If you move the tone arm off it's rest post does the turntable begin to turn? If so the unit is powered up. Is the source selection knob not working? I hope you have better luck than I did with the unit I bought, I was profoundly disappointed with mine. The 2-watts per channel audio output was a huge disappointment. You won't get any "thumping" bass our of this unit. It doesn't distort, but has the sound of a 50's vintage table radio.Good Luck

Are you sure it isn't the subwoofer? It stays on all the time even when the system is turned off and produces a low level hum, constantly. That seems to be the norm for all the subs and the Onkyo receivers. I was surprised to walk into my media room and hear the hum coming from the sub and the system was turned off. Sub is always in stand by. Just a thought.
