A little hiss with Andro's before music starts, maybe a touch less than zx300 which was quite quiet.

I don't think it's faulty. It exhibits less hiss than X5-iii in comparison. You have to look for it but it's there.
It might be that I have tested it only though regular unbalanced connection. I will have a balanced cable for the 99c soon so will definitely report back. However, having heard daps like iBasso DX90 or the ZX2, I wouldn't say the M11 is dead silent by any means.

I listen again, I'll put myself in the bathroom or the basement away from noise. Anyways if it's the same or less than zx300 that's pretty damn low.
I'm using balanced. Its nothing really. I use low gain too.
Much more hiss with the ZX2 I had and the X5III. The original Oppo HA2 was terrible for hiss, had to send back.
True, but what's weird is I heard hiss on my zx300, not enough to bug me but enough to hear it. Maybe it's my particular iems, but I can't hear any on m11, and I didn't hear any on dx220.
The zx300 is supposed to be pretty low noise, like I said older Sonys were notorious for noise/hiss, but zx300 is newer. Also maybe my hearing isn't as acute as it was.
From my own experience... the DX220 has some hiss too but it’s significantly less than the M11... granted the IEMs used makes this different for everyone.
Maybe my older ears can't hear that low level hiss anymore, that would be A ok by me
Hiss to me isn’t that big of a deal, i never listen to my music quiet enough to where it would effect my regular listening. I only hear it when the tracks change or very quiet parts of the song.
I reckon you have something wrong with your M11. Mine is dead silent. As in pitch black. I auditioned the notoriously sensitive Andromedas last weekend and try as I may, high gain full volume (no load), SE and balanced, quiet songs, loud songs - zero hiss. Not even a faint whisper. This thing is black.
Just joined the party and been reading about hiss or no hiss, I thought it had hiss at first but then I found it was track recording related the dap with a decent recording seems pretty black to me... Using er4xr and fearless s6 rui.
Had mine about a day and just been trying the all to dsd function, anyone else tried this? Thoughts on it?... Oh and this thing is pretty killer very pleased.
Only a few recordings hiss at the start and they do this with other players, most are silent with the M11. This is using Andro's to. Don't know how Fiio have done this for the price.
Guys, these T2's have blown me away with this player. I find the combo perfect for rock music. The symbols and guitar solos are outstanding!
Great news since I just ordered a pair from MassDrop. Im also loving the Phillips SHP 9500 and the Koss KSC75 with the M11. If your on a budget you can still find bargain phones that sound great on this player even through the unbalanced connector. Do you know if the T2 works with a balanced cable? I would like to have one balanced phone just to see what its like.
