Hello everyone.

I am new to iems, and am already having a dilemma. I tried searching but couldn't find answers specific to the q 5k:

I'm using

N5005 (2.5 balanced)
Fiio fh3
Ety er3xr

All running from a Qudelix 5k. Streaming from deezer, ive akso tried spotify and tidal. Through all 3 iems, I get a white noise/ low hiss when there is silence in a song or only one instrument being played. Songs I really notice this on are The Patient (tool) in the beginning, reflection... basically the beginning of most tool songs, and Violent by 2pac.

It happens in most songs I listen to tbh, and it was actually accentuated once I got the Qudelix 5k, before I just used a dongle. With the dongle I still heard the hiss, but it was way less. Basically, the iems pick up a hiss on most songs, and now with a (supposedly) decent dac/amp, they sound worse :/

The interesting thing is, when I use my cars amplifier via Bluetooth, no white noise, it's only in the iems.

Is this just a setting I can change?

Thank you!
