it's quite simpleyou say you can't hear hiss unless you turn up the volume. i can hear hiss even at low volume levels. i can even hear a slight wow and flutter characteristic on the hiss.
you say the brushwork sounds like hiss on sacd
it sounds nothing like hiss on either sacd or cd on my system
ergo, i am hearing more than you (this is not intended to be sarcastic or condescending, although i appreciate it sounds a bit blunt)
also - my advice to you was to listen to the disc on another system to see if your impressions can be replicated. have you done so?
since then, i have heard the disc on a high end system (xa777es, krell preamp, halcro dm58, b&w signature 800) and i can confirm all the detail that i quoted are present and even more on a higher end system - far higher than yours or mine.
therefore, there is nothing wrong with the medium, no?
