Anyone else experiencing a constantly hissing sound when the Arrow is charging? Is this normal? 
Don't have that problem with my Rx Mk II.
 

No. I've listened while charging with both IEMs and full sized and have never heard any hissing. Email the builder, I'm sure he'll work with you if it continues to be a problem.
 
Best.

I just figured it might be the noise from the fans of my laptop (although they're extremely quite).

Will check tomorrow if I have the same problem when I charge it on my desktop pc or with a with USB charger.
 
Pretty sure it's the fan though. I hope it is..

Never heard that on mine.  Though mine is a 2G w/ 10ohm output imp standard.

It isn't the fan... I had the same problem a few times, but don't worry about it. I don't think the arrow was meant to be used while being charged.

So I just ordered the Arrow. If I plan on using it with a Macbook Pro, Ipod Touch, and Sansa Clip, what kind of additional cables/passthroughs will I want. I have a nuforce uDAC, so that should pair with the MBP and Arrow well, correct? I also have a LOD for my Touch. Anything I'm missing?

 

[maverickronin]

A mini-mini for the Clip if you don't already have a small one. A RCAx2 to mini for the uDAC.

That should be it.

 

[rbf1138]

I have the nuforce uDAC for my speakers, but would I want to get the USB DAC cable sold by the Arrow maker?

 

[grokit]

Nah, your Clip+ will use its own DAC into the Arrow, you can't get digital out of it.

What about directly out of my macbook into the arrow if I'm on the go? Is this uDAC as good as the cable?
 

 

[grokit]

That's subjective but I would say yes. I've heard the uDac-1 and the USB cable but not the uDac-2 which is supposed to be better. The uDac-1 and the DAC cable sound different, but better is about taste. The cable was more neutral IIRC. I don't think the Headphonia DAC cable is available anymore anyways.

There's a new DAC cable coming soon

U mean the Headstage DAC cable that's been coming for more than a year?

Robert time 

 sorry, just re read the email and it's the stick that's being redesigned, from the email;
 
The DAC stick and DAC cable are not available now. For your
laptop I would suggest the stick but I am just re-designing it (to make it
smaller). The cable will be available shortly again.

I paid for that DAC cable, I hope Robert does not just abandon that.
