This is what I wanted to hear. I have a Jodie coming in and use 64 Audio U8 and have been using the UE line buffer as every amp I've tried ( Carbon, 10ES2, Ember) all give varying degrees of amp noise.
This is one of the main reasons I purchased the Jodie as I get amp noise from my A12's (currently back for a refit) with my Violectric V281 and Lyr 2 (and the U3's) but surprisingly it's not a problem with the U6's on the V281. I'll have my A12's back late next week and then will give them a try with the Jodie, but as the U3's are noisier than the A12's I'm expecting them to fine with it.
*As nice as the Jodie is it will not be displacing my V281 - It's background is completely silent with all my full size headphones and it's excellent with the U6's as well.
(Jodie is just adding another option and something that I think will work well for my sensitive IEM's, especially when listening to music with quiet passages).
I also tried the Buffer Jack and while it took care of the noise, it also seemed to have a slightly negative impact on sound quality. iFi may have a solution for this coming out, and if so I may be able to move my Jodie to another listening location for work.
