+1 looks really simple - wauw. Btw how is the ifi micro idsd in the top right corner doing?🤓

The iDSD is chillin' out nowaydays, mostly hanging 'round at my desk since the M11 pro came along. But when the D2K's come out, or the DT770, the iDSD will have to get crackin' :)

Very nice piece of kit, and well spotted by the way!

And the verdict?
I planning on writing a more detailed review at some point.
SR-009S is superior in everyway technically however, is a little hot and overzealous on tracks. HP-2i is softer (not warmer) and has a "liquid" toned midrange. There is also a trade between the SR-009S feeling ethereal and the HP-2i adding a gritty tangible quality that I would describe as sounding exactly pitch perfect to the recordings intent.

The Stax is possibly the best headphone in the world right now; the HP-2i is the best dynamic headphone ever produced.

Thanks for your short impressions.
I asked because I owned the both, the HP2 and 009 (I know, not exactly what you own) and was simply curious.
I sold off the HP2 because all of the lettering was 100% intact and they were Iin10/10 cosmetic/working order all around, but to be quite honest, I was afraid to handle them because I didn't want to ruin the lettering so I feared this instead of enjoying them. My 009 I enjoyed for +/-3yrs using multiple amps ( Mjolnir KGSShv, KGST and HeadAmps BHSE. Beautiful sounding system, but enjoyed it long enough that I found it to become a bit boring for my changing tastes, so I sold the system off as well and moved on to other headphones & gear. Glad I had the opportunity to experience both, though. Enjoy!

Pathos is sold, and the Hungarian “Ant” got a dedicated extern power supply. The “Ant” is connected through single ended, the Tor through balanced.
