@audphile1  Changing volume doesn't affect the hiss.   E280 has pre-amp and power amp option, when I press the power amp (main input  button), there is no hiss.  
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
A dumb question, how do you select, say track no, 12 out of 15 songs from the remote ?  Is a universal remote control with numeric keypad works with ET3?

Thanks so much for your advise. @carlsbad2 In my opinion, not the price point to determine a good power conditioner with respect with my rather cheap audio equipment. My previous Tacima CS947 did a good job with no hiss noise, the shortcoming is ...

While I am isolating the hissing noise from tweeters from potential components. I am not sure if the Novaris Surge Protector/Noise Filter, is it a good power conditioner?  I recalled I have no such issue with my previous power conditioner of Tacim...

New, Very Interesting CD Transport
For those CD transport without numerical keypad on unit or remote, how do you select tracks? Do you listen to entire CD or play shuffle? My point was if we keep forward to track like track 15 of 20, would the laser/lens and CD mechanism fail ...
