quite the contrary.... interesting 

Yeah the hiss is not really bothering if i'm not in a very quiet environment and listening to quiet music. But I also saw other people saying no hiss at all, so I was wondering if there's something wrong with my AK380 or IEMs or just different standards. 

Did you try to hear it when the music is playing? when the music pauses there's absolutely no hiss sound. 

would like to hear your results, my Zeus XRA has relatively obvious hiss with AK380 if I listen to them in a quiet environment

Is Z1R‘s cable compatible with Focal Elear? 

I know I will probably find some answers if I go through the whole thread-- is there a generally agreed choice for Z1R's cable?

I think I might asked the question in a wrong way. I have 430HA and I am thinking about getting the new 1266, I was trying to ask if 430HA will be good enough to do the job, but as I re-read my question it kinda sounds like I'm doubting the ones who are using 430HA to drive the 1266s.

Is Moon 430 up to the job to drive the 1266 well in general? I know there are always better options though. 

Oh I just saw that! Thanks!   Is there any down side of it? Ergonomically?

Hi, what's the effect of using a adapter with different kind of cable on headphone? I'm interested in your adapter to use one cable on multiple headphones, but I have both copper and silver based cable, which adapter should I pick then? thanks. 

Edited- Just came to realization that cable are not part of the warranty. But EE finally came up with a good solution though, thank you Jack. 

It's not too bad, but my SE846s are dead silent with Mojo, so I still wonder if it's just too sensitive? 

Got my universal Zeus XR Adel today! while I am just start to try it, I notice really obvious hiss sound on Mojo, AK380(with and without amp), iphone6s. I don't have many IEM with me at the moment, only SE846s, but I have never heard the hiss sound from in on any of the source mentioned above...

so the new ADEL model is not likely going to be on sale?   And since the cost is the same I don't know if get it custom fit or universal.... 

would they have any promotion?
