Now i just need a good silver cable for my IE80's to bring out more of the sound
btw lee how does the 8a compare to your 1plus2 when paired with the studio v?
I'm using it with my 8As right now. Sounds quite good. Still there is hiss on the 8A so I'm not so sure about the "being black" comments or near to no hiss. It's quite audible to me but give it a minute or so and its a non-issue. Still it would be nice to not hear it at all....
They likely could with less amp gain and more SOC gain to compensate but they've chosen their compromise based on how they perceive that can get the most sonic performance. There are only a very few IEMs that will be an issue unless your the sort that listens for issues instead of the tunes. My jh16 and GR10s are more than acceptable at 116 db efficiency. I tend to listen between 8 and 14 depending on environment, music and IEM.
My understanding is that if the amp gain is set too high then hiss. SOC means "system on a chip". Are you saying there is a gain on the chip system too? Wouldn't the amp gain lowered reduce hiss?
Thanks GoodvibesSo from what you're saying if the gain on my Studio V(not 3rd edition) was adjusted I wouldn't get the SQ from the chip. I believe RedCatwould say the 3rd Ann has less hiss than my V. When I had the JH5 with my Studio V there definately was hiss because the sensitivity was 125, my upcoming AS2 has 123 sens, so I expect to have a "hissy" problem too, so I will use my UHA4 or most likely T1 amp with my Studio V. Its just frustrating to pay so much $$ for my V with hiss from high sensitivity IEMs so I have to use an amp to block it out, then see the improved Anniversary Edition that addresses the hiss problem more, now another V is coming out that will supposedly knock out all the hiss.

I have the Studiio V and contacted Jack about the new players 1 and 3 and he said, "At current there is none modle of our players can overally overdo to STUDIO v. But will are working on the new studio." He also said "The hiss has nothing to do with the battery. It comes from the overall circuit design. so, after we redesign the circuit, it will reduce the hiss a lot. You can upgrade the studio V via addtional price. But we still not finally decided how much will it be." So apparently an new Studio V is coming out, question will it be even less hiss than the standard V or 3rd remains to be seen. Also don't know what he means about "upgrade", sending back my unit or buying the new one? Wonder why its so hard for Jack's engineers to get a black background, must have something to do with having long battery life, size and SQ???
