There isn't one; get the plug style you like. But keep in mind you are buying a SET amp...
Thanks bigfatpauli! Thats what I suspect.

Thanks for the info! Yeah I’ve also never gotten into Woo amps after I’ve tried them. They’re kinda stale to me and seem quite thin for a tube amp. IMO the Stratus looks more intriguing then the Woo amps. I love the unique smurf blue it uses, it really adds design character to the amp.I may never hear the WA33 so I can't help you there. I don't understand why so many people gravitate towards Woo... They make over priced amp after over priced amp yet people still always seem to salivate over their next monstrosity. I guess looks matter a lot to people...
I had LCD3f's, Code-X's and Abyss with my Stratus. I've also use the Susvara with my Stellairs. In all cases the DNA amps did really well. North once mentioned to me that after HD800's most Stratus owners used Audeze's. I suspect that that has changed as I know there are a lot of HE1000 owners now. What I am trying to say is that either of the DNA amps are near ideal pairings.

The 2A3C version is the stock tube with the amp, nothing special. The T version is different and for some a favourite with HD800.I've seen that many of the Stellaris and more likely the Stratus users utilizing the Shuguang 2A3C-T output tubes. What is the difference between the "plain" 2A3C and the "T" version besides that the latter one is dark in colour and steeper in price?
A question for all you lucky ones out there. Does this have the same sound signature as the Stratus? I've owned the Stratus for over a year now and it's still amazing with the HD800. I have the Stellaris on order but I'm debating if I should sell the Stratus or listen to them both and make a decision.
I'm looking for if it's warmer or cooler, anything easily obvious different from the Stratus apart from things like bass control, details, speed etc.
Very similar sound signature. In my experience the differences are exactly as you state: bass control, details and speed are kicked up a notch. At the micro level it may make bloomier power tubes (like the Shuguang 2A3C-T you just mentioned) a bit more lean because they are controlled better, but it might be a hard job to pick that out when listening.
