Thanks everyone for the clarification. Here is what Steve replied back:

This is my first pre-amp, so I guess my understanding of its functionality was wrong. I set my power amp volume normally at 10-11 o' clock position less than half of their max volume. So, I should max out the volume pot on either my pre-amp or power-amp and use whichever one to control the...

Hello everyone, just received my Freya+ today and decided to fire it up. I am not sure if I am connecting it wrong or just the unit itself even at max volume on the Freya+ --> Decware torii MK5 the listening volume is much lower than without Freya+ in the system. Also test this with my...

Not really, other than CanJam but would definitely open to have plastic case as an option.

That wooden box just not too appealing and harder to transport, I prefer the Stax SR-007MKA or II plastic carrying case.

There is Audio46 in New York City as well.

I believed Kerry said the most expensive part was the chassis work, this is one of the post. Some of the cost is the customer service experiences as well, Kerry is definitely very easy to work with.

Yes, it is sold as the listing indicated. Thanks for your interest.

I agree with all your assessment with the Aeras, haven't heard the BHSE so will not comment on that. Aeras pairing the the SR-009/009S lessen the brightness of the sound signature, making the headphone more enjoyable. Did you able to listen to the Aeras and SR-007 MK I pairing? Or the T2 and...

I would advise you place the headphone in between headband and headstrap. I also got a black nylon cover to block out the sun just in case.

Congratulations, now you got DNA Stellaris along with the Aeras and enjoy.

Very easy to deal with, quick shipping and quick to communicate. Highly recommended seller.

I heard both on two occasions one at CanJam and one at Kerry's apartment, but only have the Aeras myself. Here is my impression on T2 and Aeras.

Agree with all the assessment, except the SGL SR and HE60 which I haven't heard. What volume level are you listening at? For me on the Aeras 9-10 o'clock position is plenty of volume even at 9'o clock the decibels range from 75-85dB already with the 009S.
