Funnily enough, the go blue is also one of the more expensive units compared to the likes of the btr5 and qudelix 5k. In my experience neither of them produce an audible hiss.
It's weird how it's still in the same price range as the btr7.

Yes. I have the qudelix 5k, go blue, and btr5. The go blue is the only one with a noticeable hiss.

The amount of stupidity in OP’s replies is mind-blowing. No wonder snake oils are flourishing lmao. Paying more for a brand to fix their own problem. Huh? Balanced output has way better sound quality than SE. WTF? Lists goes on…….

Some IEMs hiss to some extent no matter what device you plug them into. I tried some cheap impedance adapters which fixed the hiss, the IEMs also sounded better. I was very surprised at how high it needs to be raised to get to a decent loudness level, with an IEM that is usually very loud at 20% volume it may need to be raised to about 90%. The cheap adapters are very poorly made, both became loose after a few weeks use, the slightest tug of the cable dislodged them and their length makes them a hazard. I have since bought the 3.5mm IEM Match which is a very solid product and is easier to use on the go.

That's a nice looking cable. Reminds me of the one that came with my ibasso IT01. Would love to try these but the price point is a little high for me to justify atm.

I don't think it's an in-line resistor. My bet is on a voltage divider. There is still resistance/impedance in series, but it should be less.

So ifi sells you a noisy source and you pay them more for a remedy?

It is not a huge difference. I have happily played games with both.
I have very small ears and the s12 always slowly fall out. The ie200 fit is better for me and stay put. I may be biased just because the fit is better on the ie200.

same here, I sold off my Ananda’s for a pair of LCD-2C’s because I just wanted something with a better build. I like the sound just as much, if not more.
and yeah my hd 6xx will never go anywhere. I still listen to them just as much as the LCD’s
