Definitely is the problem of andromeda. Pitch black background when I paired my flc8s with the same source. The andromeda is just too sensitive, so you need to add IEMatch for a clean background. ZX2 is the only source I've heard of that does not create hiss with andromeda.
I read a comment from one guy, who mentioned the iematch closes up the sound stage by quite a bit, as well as reduces dynamics - any truth in this? I wound't have though that it would have made much difference.
Hmm...no idea. Haven't tried it myself, so I can't personally confirm. I don't plan on going IEMatch until I go balanced anyway because the hiss is not that bad IMO. YMMV.
