Hi guys!
Well after further readings of Head-Fi and Headwize forums, I decided to invest in a good amp and some good interconnects. I went and ordered the OBH-11SE and Van den Hul D102MKIII ICs.
Today I received both of them and hooked them up. Based on what I read from Headwize, the impedance for output #1 is 68 ohms and the impedance for output #2 is 30 ohms. So I connected my CD3000 to output #2. But to my surprise there's a very audible hiss in the background, which gets louder as I turn up the volume. The #1 output produces hiss too but I can only hear it when I turn the volume all the way up (and the hiss is lower than the #2 output.)
What seems to be the problem? Am I doing something wrong?
