The background hiss of the HEQ5 I found VERY VERY annoying, especially when it was tracking - I have VERY sensitive ears in the high frequencies. It was driving me nuts. Sold it.
My NEQ6 is no where near as noisey as the HEQ5.
I also noticed a MAJOR difference in noise levels between running it off a battery or from mains (via converter/adaptor) - it is SIGNIFICANTLY quieter with mains power - probably to do with more "demand" from the battery? I run it exclusively from mains now unless it is in the field.
