My STAX is here!!! Wow it looks a lot better in person. I thought this phone will be my worst looking phone but clearly it's not
Out of the box everything is so cool. I put it in, w/ iPhone 3GS as a source and 320kbps songs and I notice almost right away that detais are way better than my D7000.
High is pretty harsh, not really harsh but clearly not as smooth as that of D5000 or D7000.
I'm not really into the music right now because I'm having an exam in 4 hrs so...
I'm still waiting for a Gamma-2 (y2), a headphone stand from Larry and a new laptop all coming this week.
Will keep you guys updated with pics and thought
Last words: Damn! When I'm typing this I'm realizing how much vocal I have been missing w/ D5000 and D7000. The mid is way better here on SR-202
UPDATE:
This STAX has jaw-dropped high resolution for a newbie like me. I heard so many thing I have never heard before included slight static noises and distortions in some songs. I was shock with D5000/D7000 resolution level but compared to SR-202 they are clearly not in the same class.
And there is something is so obvious with the STAX which I don't know how it is called using sound term. It's about the volume level variation. With the SR-202 the dB difference between notes are wider. Strong guitar pickings sound noticeably louder than weak ones. That also apply to other instruments and vocal. It's not frequency's peak since it happens at various frequency range. That stuff is so new to me
The high seems to be improved. High piano notes sound sparklingly in a good way. The high is not as smooth as that of Denon but I'm never the fan of too smooth high.
The phone is so comfort. I find it more comfortable than both Denon. The Denon are comfort but easy to fall of when you lay down your back on the couch.

Stats look interesting, might look into them someday.
