Better I think . . .

"I have the original Stax SRM-D10 and I wanted to compare it to the new mk2 version I just received, but alas, the battery died on my original so i could not make a direct comparison. Having said that, the mk2 sounds great! It has the same form factor as the original (some say it is larger but it is not). When I get the battery replaced on the original version I will come back with notes from a direct comparison."

I don’t know why I waited so long

"Just a great portable estat energizer. I’ve used it with my Stax L300 & my very comfortable Stax SR-003 MK2 headphones. I just don’t know why I waited so long & thanks guys for your help. Allen"

Great portable option

"High quality dac/amp for Stax. This powers the L700's just fine. The packaging is perfect, and it comes with all USB cables and a quality charger/power supply."

James C. (5/5)

Portable emotion.

"Now I can enjoy the excellent sound of my omega SR-007A outside the home. I had doubts about its capacity due to the size, but it is surprising how easily it drives the earspeakers and the clarity of the music. In the same way, now I can move with the SR-003 because they are light, have good sound and battery lasts more than 4 hours."

Excellent Semi-Portable STAX DAC/AMP

"Excellent product! The entire product is presented in an elegant manner, giving the user an initial confidence that they have bought an expensive (which it is) product. Once opened, the product feels sturdy, with a smooth volume knob. Everything feels and looks like quality. I found the sound quality to be generally very good, with no real qualms or major compromises noticed. The user should realize that this is not a desktop amp and should thus keep their expectations in check. As a semi portable device, it checks all the boxes and allows me to use my E-Stats at the office. The icing on the cake: The inclusion of USB-C instead of the previous micro USB. This has got to be the best change STAX has made on this revision of the device."

Very Happy

"This being my first foray into Electrostatic headphones and amps, I'm very pleased. I currently have this unit paired with STAX's SR-003mk2 In-Ear Earspeakers for a truly portable setup (though I do intend on getting a full-size pair of their Earspeakers next). I have primarily used this unit utilizing the data connection and internal DAC with Apple Music Lossless streaming which presents a pristine and sparkling clarity to the music with an OTG Lightning to usb-c cable. For this review I also tried the Line-In connection with an Apple 3.5mm headphone dongle and the sound was still nice, but the upsides of the DAC and Hi-Res quality of the data connection are apparent to me. The battery is impressive considering that it has to put out a lot of power, and the unit can also be plugged in and used at the same time as well, but more on this next. It's very well made and a joy to use. Okay, so the only issue I've encountered is what appears to be a ground-loop hum issue when plugged in and charging; the power brick that is supplied is quite strong and will charge the unit rather quickly (through usb-c) even when actively listening to music, but there is a slight hum which presents itself in this state which disappears when I touch the unit itself. After troubleshooting this I believe it may have something to do with the fact that the power brick is only 2-prong with no ground (I'm using the USA connection). When I swapped the charging brick for an Apple one which was eqquiped with the grounded extension cord option the hum, while charging, went away. So future buyers may want to consider this. The Apple power brick I was using is a 30W one which is lower than the available 65W of the included charger, so the unit did not charge as quickly, but I plan to remedy this by buying the Apple 70W brick and using that instead which supports the same power-feed options through usb-c as the included power adapter (5V/9V/12V/15V = 3.0A; max 20V). Overall very pleased, and I look forward to using this unit with my next STAX Earspeaker. Based upon what I've read it will support all of them and presents some great sound quality in a small and well made package that is also portable (which almost all energizers are not). In addition to being an all-in-one Hi-Res DAC/Energizer with convenient usb-c connections, I think this a compelling and unique option to someone wanting to step into Electrostatic Earspeakers."

Gets the job done

"It's the only portable stax dac amp now with USB C. Won't drive 007s but otherwise it's pretty good."

Zhengyu S. (4/5)

Incredible!

"Tested out the STAX SRM-D10 mk2 with Audeze CRBN headphones. Surprisingly high resolution sound from such a small unit that is not much larger than my phone. A more than capable amplifier that is easy to carry around, enabling the CRBN to be my mobile headphones of choice now."
