Poll: Are you affected by the hissing problem?

[02nz]

In another thread I posted about my experience auditioning the Phantoms at a dealer in Wilmington - and the hissing was the key dealbreaker. These were manufacturer-provided demo units (regular Phantoms and Dialog) running 1.2.0.0 firmware. The hissing was audible whether playing through the network (both wireless and wired) or optical input from CD player. Very noticeable on quiet passages of classical music, if you have a quiet ambient background. The noise would stop a few seconds after music stopped playing. In my opinion it's utterly unacceptable on a $4000/pair speaker - indeed I wouldn't accept (nor have I observed) this level of background noise on a $100 Bluetooth speaker. Frustrating when they got so much else right. Hope that this can be fixed soon.
