If the hiss is actually on the recordings then you have achieved what you were after correct? a DAC that is transparent and lets everything on the recording through! So take the good with the bad, the DAC is now doing what you wanted. Hiss is just part of the recording and you can live with it or not. This is what happens when a system reaches a certain level transparency and you start to here things you never heard before good and bad.

This type of stuff doesn't bother me cause I know it's on the recording so like other post said I just ignore it.

If you really want to get rid of that hiss you will be putting back what you were trying to remove which is a slight veil over the music via EQ, DBX, Dolby or any other type of filtering like that cap resistor you are talking about.

Maybe look into speaker cables like Transparent or MIT that have a filter network inside. :)
