PROBLEM:
 
My Samsung GS3 has so much noise (hissing, white noise) added to the sound when I listen to music. It's most audible at low volumes and during quiet sections of the music.
 
FACTS:
 
It happens regardless of file storage location- whether I play music from either my SDHC card or the device internal memory.
 
It happens regardless of the music player I use- whether it's WinAmp, Bubble UPnP or the OEM Samsung music player.
 
I'm listening from the GS3's headphone-out, through Etymotic HF5's with the foam cylinder ear tips, if that matters.
 
 
The device at issue is model SCH-I535.
 
I really want a "black" sound, no hissing/white noise
 
QUESTION:
 
What should I do?
 
Do you recommend any smartphones which have a "black" headphone-out?
 
 
Do you recommend a USB OTG (external) DAC/AMP which has a "black" headphone-out?

Maybe the iBasso D-zero?
