I am in process of comparing my new RSP 1098 with my Denon AVC A1SE+.
I have a question regarding hiss on the unit. At which level do you users experience hiss from your listening position? I can hear it from 3 meters starting slowly at about 70 to get real loud hiss at 85. And I mean real loud.
Can't be normal in my ears.
Next problem is that the centre channel is also emitting a constant parasitic frequency. I guess this is an issue that might already have been addresses, but is this actually the issue that has been reported?
I plan to do a side by side comparison with the Denon, but initially I must admit that I am not overly impressed in terms of sound quality. The hiss is clearly either a defect of a bad engineering thing. In 15 years of this hobby and great experience with Rotel Stereo/Preamps this is a bit let down. I will report of this in the in depth comparison but some flaws need to be corrected first in case I might have a defective unit.
