Kingsound M03 - Can it drive Stax?

[alexdemaet]

I am really impressed with the power of the M-03! Before I used the ifi iesl powered by the Topping LA90. I am getting better results with the m-03. But I did not use the fiio m17 at the moment I sold the iesl

Is it common when using esl devices that you hear a small distortion when there is no music is playing? I hear like a very silent buzzzzzz when pausing the music. I used to hear this buzz also when I switched from esl to dynamic headphones on the iFi IESL

Hey new to audio here, Would the stax sr-003 mk2 go well with the kingsound m-03?

I have tried the Kingsound M-03 for my IEM. Unfortunately, there is a flute sound when I connect a dynamic/eim headphone on the 3.5mm headphone output. I have asked the support about this and they say that this is very common.

Just a comment, you can easily transform srm252 into a portable device (as I did) by buying a 12V battery using a correct plug. Add. benefit there is no residual ac noise.

I have done this and it works well. Only downside is weight and size. I have a srm002 which only can be used with the SR-001/002mk2, and it is much more portable.
