I strongly suggest you guys get your hands on the latest FiioLDAC neck band model to make sure Plussound’s sounds as good or better. It’s around the $100 mark. Or at least task your Bluetooth module manufacturers in the Far East to do that.

So it's been 2 months since the mentioned firmware update to fix the loud hiss, however till now no news. I'm starting to think this product is dead in the water and a firmware will not be able to fix the hiss which might be a hardware issue. I'm surprised PS released this in the first place when the hiss is so obvious...

Uhh that's not true... I have AK, Hiby and also tried Cayin DAPs and they do not hiss. Only a few like Sony's hisses however it goes away when the music is playing. The PS bluetooth hisses even during music tracks.

That's so strange... I know almost nothing about this stuff, however I've never noticed any hiss from my R6 Pro connected to my LCD-2's and my Lola IEM's using a variety of different cables. Same with my ES100, Dragonfly Red... I think a hiss would annoy the p*ss out of me

This depends very much on the impedance and sensitivy of the earphones you use! Some are prone to hiss, some aren’t! To explain it a bit simplified:
Earphones that are very sensitive and don’t need much amplification to drive tend to hiss. Or from a source’s standpoint: The higher the amplification, the higher the chance a source hisses. This is why gain settings can solve this problem. Big headphones usually have a low sensitivy and need a lot of power - that is why they don’t hiss. (Again: That is explained a bit simplified!)
So: The art of the manufacturers is to built sources that don‘t hiss with sensitive phones though they have high amplification (demanded by the audiophile target group)!

Hey thanks for that info... I've always wondered about that. Planning to pick up some custom IEM's this year as soon as the quarantine's over and I can get impressions made somewhere. Hopefully I won't have the hiss, however I guess can always just pick up a different DAP
I downloaded the 1.01 firmware update package but it won't properly install and run on my Windows10 machine. Nothing happens unless I run as admin, and then it tells me its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. I've uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. If anyone else gets it to work, holler. I don't have a Facebook account so I won't be posting there.
