They will indeed sound awesome off of my desktop amp. And hopefully they will sound okay off of my bluetooth receiver (BTRK3 balanced). Someday I hope to also get the Qudelix 5K which will hopefully push them nicely.
FYI - Last night I compared my new BTR5 with my buddy's older BTR3K with all my earbuds and I honestly could not differentiate between the two (disclaimer: I suffer minor hearing loss and tinnitus). With that said, I do believe your BTR3K will drive your incoming Smabat ST-10S Black-Gold 150Ω earbuds beautifully.

It seems to me that these are "new arrivals" DAC/AMP ... or not
- DDHiFi TC44B (USB-C to 2.5mm/4.4mm) - unusual decision to use 2 balanced outputs without SE option
- iBasso DC04 (USB-C to 4.4mm)
- Hidizs H2 (BT 5.0 Rx)
- LOCONAQ A1 (USB-C TypeC to 3.5mm)
- HiBy FD1 (USB-C to 3.5mm/4.4mm
We already commented on this model the other day. About design: It's more something between Datura Pro and Datura X (discontinued model)
Datura X also have vent on the bottom (3 holes). Datura X steam is long and narrow and on Astraea we have MMCX sockets so there is no additional vent.
Datura Pro has better vent system as traditional 2 x 3 vent holes (on the side walls of the shell) and stem is additional vent

Thank you! They have great customer support, so I left them a message. But around the same time I was leaving the message, I got an email indicating that they've been shipped, so I doubt anything can be done. I'm good though, and I'm happy for others who get them for that great price!
