Title: watch out for the hiss
Review: Despite reading reviews that warned of an audible hiss in all but optical modes, I ordered this anyway as I use an optical connection. The electronic whine, which Soundmatters' FAQ describes as rarely an issue, is so loud (in all modes) that you can easily hear it across the room whenever the soundtrack goes quiet. Very annoying. I seriously doubt if all the units are this bad. I'll be returning this one tomorrow. It's too bad as the sound is otherwise quite good.
Is the review positive or negative?
