If you love Sony S-Master, why don’t you try other gears instead ? The hissings from the Walkman and S-Master to sensitive gears is by natures, because of it passive output inductors. Especially with some multi drivers with a crossover networks. The safest way is to use single driver DDI tried campfire holocene (among 1 of the lowest impedance) with 4.4mm, with 1am2, very very slight hiss but very acceptable to me.
Cause I came from ifi gryphon which hiss like mad (waterfall sound) on 4.4mm. The hiss on Sony 4.4mm is like the hiss on ifi gryphon 3.5mm or slightly less. Sony just sound so musical and really push the performance of my Holocene to the max.
Sold off my gryphon that very night after i tried Sony.
