I've moved away from full sized headphones as I'm living with someone who likes having music playing over speakers. I have very little isolated listening time except for my commutes for the most part or runs. My only IEM is the IE6 right now but I plan to go bigger there at some point, but there is audible hiss on my Nuforce Icon HDP. I've been told its normal and I just find it too distracting. I can't have them in with no music playing for more than a couple minutes without getting bad anxiety. I figure $450 should be able to obtain at least almost dead silence.
Are there any other amp/dac combos out there that don't suffer with IEM use? I have not been active at all in the head-fi world and consider myself in a unique situation as I don't believe there's many people here who do IEMs for at-desk listening so it makes it sort of a hard thing to search up rather than starting a new thread.
