I have no idea. I was thinking about buying one (srd-7 or so) and trying it out with an inexpensive stax headphone just to see how they are. I seriously doubt even a top stax setup will be much better, if better all, than the F1+K1000 setup though. The only negative comments I've seen are from Duggeh about K1000 compared to stax and he must not have heard them out of the F1. He says they don't have the speed to keep up with faster music but I haven't come across anything that makes the K1K start chugging along yet. I'm talking about music like Dragonforce, All That Remains, Black Dahlia Murder, Lamb of God (fast metal). Those bands aren't slow by any means.
I just use a volumite to control the volume on my buffalo and have it hooked straight into the F1 too though so there is no preamp that could possibly slow/change the signal either. I doubt many people have used it without a preamp so this may sound different than other setups.
