I need a silly iEMatch dongle for my Hugo 2 to reduce hiss and RF noise with most IEMs - would for sure have welcomed a silly option switch instead? Emphasis on "switch" - not enthused about the shiny rattling (sometimes failing) baublesIt very easy to turn down the overall gain on a Dac's output stage or amplifier to get a low noise figure like many other units. However the clever thing is to keep the gain really high over 125 plus and still keep the noise levels vanishingly low like Rob has achieved This means we don't need all those silly gain option switches that can change the sonic signature of the system. Many are there to coverup design limitations.
