Hi, both my CFA Ara and Solaris 2020 have some hiss on a shanling m3x and a EU version Apple dongle. Seeing how the Emerald Sea are less sensitive but rated at even lower Ohms I'm curious to know what you use them with
I have the same hissing problem with the andromeda 2020, people claim the Apple dongle have no hiss or what so ever, but that is not true. I tried the lightning version (for iphone) and USB C version (on ipad and pc), both give hiss when playing quite music.
I end up using ifi iematch to eliminate the hiss, but I have mix bag for it affect on sound, so DAP seem to be the final solution of CA iem.
Iematch takes away some dynamics so i'd rather have a slight hiss than limp bass
I’ve been using dragonfly cobalt on my phone and it works pretty well; on my pc I do plug ifi portable dac but do occasionally noticed some hiss.
