Corda move with IEM

[bosie]

hello,

i am wondering how the Corda Move performs with an IEM - especially with Shure SE530 in terms of hiss?

i have a Headphonia and the hiss with my shure se530 is unbearable :/

cheers
Bosie

do you use it straight from the ipod headphone jack or do you use a lineout-cable?

The "Cotton Dock" he is using implies at a Line-out Dock/cable already.

I haven't actually used any IEMs or earbuds with my Move so far so I can't tell you anything specific on that.

The Corda Move and E500 is dead quiet using the 9V battery. I would be concerned that an AC adapter might add hiss.

hiss is a slight issue with the se530,a little attenuation helps and it dont hurt the sound much x2 above

yes, which surprises me because the impedance of the se530 is more than twice as high as the e2c which never struggled with that problem :/

attenuation of what/how?

thank you shineman

you can reduce the hiss to nothing by cranking up the volume of your amp, and attenuating it back to bearable levels with the little volume control extension the E500 come with (I think the manual recommends to use it for airplane sound systems).

ah totally forgot about the volume control extension, good point, but doesnt that degrade the quality of the sound quality ?

High Current, High Gain with UM2's and no hiss for me....

It doesn't see to affect the SQ to me.

it should, but to be honest I haven't been able to hear it. Mind you, for me it is very hard to do an A/B comparison because the hiss you removed by the volume control it is a much bigger nuisance than any sound degradation the cruddy little pot in the extension may introduce.
