Will there always be hiss in a walkman?

I notice that music that I taped from my CD has a noticable amount of his when
I play the music back in a walkman.  Would getting a better walkman reduce
this hiss?  I was told that tape will always have hiss because the tape
contacts the head, generating noise in the process.  How does really high-cost
tape decks deal with this?

Thanks
