| What cause tweeters hiss ? @westcoastaudiophile have you tried another DAC? I don’t have extra DAC, only D90 and Ares II. @gs5556 Does the Sony CD player have a two prong plug or three? Two prong without ground. The problem could be in the XLR connections of th... | |
| What cause tweeters hiss ? I’m not sure how you get any sound at all with the power cord unplugged. 😁 😆 My bad, just illustrate how to remove the hiss/hum by discharge to the ground. They are a real thing that can occur with USB or coaxial digital connectors. ... | |

| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) @ghdprentice @digsmithd Thanks guys. Finally I got SCM11 setup and listened over the weekend.
