I bought a pair of SM3, had custom sleeves made and I couldn't be happier. The best experience I've ever had so far. But, since I've had the sleeves, I'm painfully aware of a hissing sound the iMac makes. Now I made sure that the output was set up at 24 bit/ 96 KHz under Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup. It attenuates the hissing, but it's still really present.
Is there a way to improve the situation or should I get a DAC or something else?
(In case it's useful, It's an iMac alu late 2007, C2D 2.8 Gz, changing the system or iTunes volume doesn't help and the pieces I listen to come from a CD and are encoded in ALAC)
Thanks for your help and expertise.
