Just thought I would do a quick update as I just recieved a pair of Ultimate Ears Reference Monitors and I can definitely hear the hiss with them as well. It is not awfull unless you turn the volume control way up but still disappointing I currently have a HeadAmp Pico Slim strapped to my Mini-M8 which is a decent solution but unfortunately makes it bulkier.

I have mini-m8 and the TH900: it is adequate and works fine.
TH900 doesn't need much to begin with.

Hey Guys,
Someone here using iBasso DX90 as transport to feed mini M8?
I would like some guidance to where can buy a short coaxial cable for this setup.
Thanks!

I'm using ALO SXC portable silver cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm)http://www.aloaudio.com/compact-sxc-22-mini-to-mini

Thanks for the reply. So any analog stereo inter-connector will work for DIGITAL Coaxial transport?, I'm a little confuse, Sorry I don't have experience with Coaxial Inputs/Outputs/Cables.

I don't know how some people are complaining about a hiss. They must have a super human sensory hearing! I just got my Angie and it sounds amazing with the mini-M8 specially when I use the balanced RSA port. You can hear a VERY SMALL amount of hiss in a VERY QUIET environment in the HIGHEST gain! I mean who listens to Angie or equally sensitive IEM with this amp on full volume on the highest gain? That's insane or just ridiculously deaf! I have yet to purchase the shures IEM but they say the hiss in them is higher.

No, I mean... The cable you are using (ALO SXC 22) is Stereo Analog inter-connector, and I thought for Digital (Coaxial) would be a different cable as it is for Optical Cables.

I had the pleasant surprise of being able to connect my Fiio X3 to the Mini-M8 coax out using a Whiplash Audio mini-to-mini silver cable. I contacted Fiio and they said they hasn't heard of it working but that it should produce the same results as a coaxial cable.

I too was confused before because dx90 has an included coaxial cable. But unfortunately mini-m8's coaxial input is different and used a 3.5mm coaxial input instead. Fortunately that is compatible with the DX90. Problem is you also have to buy a mini to mini portable interconnects seperately.

I haven't tried an optical source yet to my mini-m8. If you have a toslink out from your source that would probably work for the mini. I am planning to buy those AKs but they are just too expensive.

Anyone try it with a fiio optical yet?

whoops. I should have re-read the posts above.

How was it with the X3?
