Thanks for your detailed review! Did you get a chance to compare your DCA E3 to the STAX SR-009 directly, or were you going off of memory?

I have a STAX SR-007MK2.9 (spring and blu-tack modded) and an Audeze Maxwell, and am very intrigued by all the great things I'm reading about the DCA E3, but it's very pricey in Europe so I need some more points of reference to know if it's worth it.

Thanks

The comparison was only off memory unfortunately. If you can get it from a store with a good return policy, that'd be great for evaluating.
