I asked Devialet about it at the High End and they are aware of this and working on it (?). Strange I don't see other users over here mentioning it. Anyone? Or I might have missed it.
the hissing was one of the reasons that I have sent the Phantoms back after a week. SQ was very good indeed, but Devialet is promising 0 noise and currently this is absolutely not the case. It seems as if they mute the noise if no music is being played. I'm not convinced that this is a firmware bug, I think this comes from the ADH shrink to chip size. But maybe I'm wrong...
They also told me that they plan to reduce this with every new firmware version, but the newer version I get within my test week was producing even more hiss...
