It all depends on what you search I have a STAX DAC TALENT BD and for me it is anything except outdated. it makes a lot more music compared others that I tried. But it may have a bit less details. 16bit 44hz enough for me : )   PS: and if you do not love it, you do not lose money on resale.

There are also sometimes the DAC Stax Dac Talent who are really not bad for 500 euros.   http://www.head-fi.org/t/701755/fs-stax-dac-talent-price-drop-worldwide-shipment

Hi Jmstrmbn : ) You talk about the new firmware found by Claude ? or another new ? 

Hi all : )   Regarding my STAX DAC-X1T (it's really beautiful object) I confirm that the low frequencies are exceptional, they go down lower and earn much impact and therefore of presence, this it isn't negligible when we know that this is the weaknesses of STAX headphones. The soundstage is...

It must be a little "trader" when making amp : D

Thank you Mike : )   Incredible sound xD I would do a little more precise report when I would have time:) But now I anyway have to go at  bed: / It's late in France xD   PS : sorry Georg : / i keep the mine and for long time :$ I sincerely wish you to find one one day. it's hard but it's...

Hi all, Hi n3rdling : )    That's it,  I have my X1T : D   What to say except that often we think to have the best, but there have always better, he surpasses the Stax Dac Talent BD with update IVC 01 and of far: $  it makes a bit more tribute to my Omega in pending SRM T2 ( I must take...

Thank Kevin for this clarification. Therefore build a fully symeterique electrostatic amp this is forego most of the qualities they have when they are not fully symeterique. Thank at you Kevin, Franck and Michgelsen for helping me to better understand : )

Hi Eric, FrankCooter and Kevin : )  Thank for your reply FrankCooter and Kevin : ) If I understand correctly, the fact that the stax amps are not completely symmetrical, they have nevertheless of big advantage not be.

Thank you for taking the time to answer me Michgelsen !  They it is played to nearly full symmetric.   KG also speaks of power supply noise and drift. It's complicated : D

Hi all : )    I'm not even sure that the Stax amps, with XLR inputs are really Full Symmetric.    Kevin Gilmore seems to confirm that the kgss, kgsshv, kgbh, T2 and all other Stax amps are not entirely symmetrical. ...

@ milosz it would be good that he can repair the omega: P   @ astrostar59 I'm really intrigued by the KGST.   Thank for the inside of DAC 4.1 : p  I found here more accurately http://www.thresholdlovers.com/articles.php?lng=en&pg=1399

Servicing a T2 and a Omega (with originally driver ) should not be easy either : )

Hi Arnaud : )  Yes i believe : D But the T2 is more sought while X1T (X2T) must bring as much as a T2 (IMHO)

This is one reason why I want to try it ( the tubes) ( I prefer the tubes amps at the transistor for example ) I believe also the design is symmetrical and is designed from chips UA : P and it's a Stax : D I find always strange that the people are not too interested in DAC of this brand, yet...

Congratulation for your X2T : P  I wish you good listening : )

They certainly do the "crash" test , but with detached parts :)

  Thank : )  I would try may be :)    @snarfarlarkus I bought 2 tingo, one for me and one for my girlfriend, and 2 sound superb.   @BloodyPenguin To the effect that, the brand doesn't mean anything : )
