Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

This relatively high noise floor is one of my only major complaints about this device though.
I have been fiddling around with solutions, one of which is picking up a cable like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172052856713? and reducing the volume via the cable until the hissing is no longer audible, and then turning up the volume on the Slim itself.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem that there are any higher-quality cables, and putting such a thin, cheap wire in line with my headphones seems wrong.
If there are no issues with the wire you are using and the reason is feels wrong is because it costs/looks/feels cheap, you can always paint it gold and trick yourself to think it costs 10k dollars. That might make things magically sound better! ; )
I mainly use the Slim with my Q701 headphones. No noise from them.
I'm glad the DacPort Slim has been doing so well. I'm honestly quite surprised that they are dropped again and again on Massdrop. I hope the other models are successful as well.
: )
(I'm currently staring at your Mixerface. Best of luck with it!)
