I also have some very sensitive CIEMs and I don't know how is its hiss paired with the Alien Gold compared to what you describe (I don't use FM radio), but I can still hear it whilst it is bearable and constant.
And I love my CIEMs
well the hiss on the new Alien+ is much lower
That makes sense. The worst is when iems pick up on hiss and background noise yet aren't exactly custom level when it comes to drivability.. *cough* CK10see who's gonna jump in for a machine built purely for sound replay.
BAD UI BAD BATTERY TIME NO BLUETOOTH NO DSD NO EVERYTHING
sorry i sounds like a troll
in fact we believe iems that are designed to be professional/ driven by higher power deserves better.
low impedance match with relatively lower power outputs are good, but there are so many cases that requires higher power to make iems shine especially when dynamic drivers are involved, not to mention higher voltage （when done right) will give the chips better performance
I have some 24 bit 44.1 kHz, no problems.
Shanling products are pretty nice, I've heard the M2 and M5 with no complaints. The Alien is just better when it comes to sound quality, although some may argue in the case of the M5. Seriously though, the Alien lacks everything a good all around DAP should have. What it does have is a sound that captivates, emotifies(is this a word?), and rectifies. Captivate referring to the soundstage/separation/forwardness, emotion referring to the musical textures, and rectify meaning the injection of dynamism into each IEM it feeds. It is a true audiophiles DAP.
