I use everything standard: Spark, LAN connection to Dialog, two Silver Phantoms.
I think that the Phantoms always have this "hissing" when their internal amps are on. Obviously they turn amps off when no track is playing. I can hear that there are two stages of hiss: about a second after track stops, meaning that Phantom remains at the same volume and power, then they lower the volume, and then they completely turn amplification on.
I've also created a minute long FLAC file without any sound in it. If you want to hear the levels of ambient hiss, it is perfect to do it with that file.
I will also check if there are hissing on the optical/bluetooth tonight, just to make sure it is not a Dialog problem.
