m-STage have a much smoother sound compared to D100. Larger soundstage and warmer too. D100 sounds rough and grainy in comparison. But be reminded the differences are not that big. Differences in sound are greater with better cans.
Its definitely very transparent and colorless sound. But notes can also be sharp without much resonance, which makes it sound slightly unnatural. But if you don't listen really closely you can't really tell. I use the LME49710HA opamps in my m-Stage, which have a more laid back and musical sound and fits the D100 nicely. opa627sm and 637sm costed me big bucks to buy but didn't sound as good as the LME. Their aggressive sound signature and epic transparency really didn't suit the D100.
