So lets kick off with couple of Pre CJ photos and mini impression of Hifiman Shangri-La Jr.
I had a opportunity to spent some time with Shangri-La Jr. and compare it to Senior HPs on the same Jr. amp.
Fed by my personal Cayin i5 with a selection of my music
-I was extremely lucky as it was dead quiet during the setting up.
Longer impression to come but after 20+ min of listening and comparing:

Shangri-La Jr. as a package is very impressive - all the goodness of electrostatics and very musical
HPs on it own are very well build and really light!
In comparison to Senior HP a bit tad forward where Serion is more laid back
both seems to be different approach to the same favour. Both but especially Senior has
vocals to die for and surprisingly even low res files sounds enjoyable.
I would be happy with both ;l]]]

And I heard somebody whispering that it would be possible to buy HPs and Amp separately !!!
Good news for owners of others electrostatics I would say.

Note the 'DX’ controls for future product', whatever that could be.
[edit] someone else has posted the DX input is for volume control from the digital amp.
