I don't have any problem with hiss...

I cannot recall ever hearing hiss from an LP. One occasionally encounters sibilance, which some might describe as a hissing sound that accompanies ssssss instrumental sounds or words that begin with "s" when sung by a vocalist. Sibilance has its own causes and treatments. On CDs, I cannot recall ever hearing hiss. There's such a thing as tape hiss, and some LPs and CDs were made from tapes, but in those cases I believe that the hiss was suppressed by complex filtering during transfer. So, in summary, I and apparently most others are not bothered by this phenomenon, perfectionists though we all may be. Which is why I suggested that you look to your own gear, not the source material, for the source of the hiss that understandably bothers you.
