You can use a combination of
Sony WMC-NWH10
and any USB to Micro cable to send digital signal to the SRM-D10.

Hi, a newby to Stax world here!

I have read the whole thread (and learned a lot, thank you to you all who contributed) but I didn't manage to get an answer to my question.

Where does the 009s improve over Lambda 300 Limited? (audition is not really an option for me, since we dont have a dealer here). Why is it a worthy upgrade?

Today I have L300LE which I drive with and OTL amp by Erik Konka called "Nebuchadnezzar" series No. 8" (you can find description on this link drop down menu http://www.konka.ee/) As a source, I have his Dual Mono Tube DAC Model 20 (did compare it to Chord Qutest but found his DAC to be more musical than Chord).
Here is a picture of my humble setup right after unpacking https://photos.app.goo.gl/XackbiETmi4Rpr1Z8

When I heard Stax first time I heard 007mk2 and L300LE in a shop via 727mkII and I liked the L300LE more as to my liking in that system 007 was too polite (and I'm sure a better amp like Carbon will fix this, but that was not available there).

I read that some have said Lambdas are bright and lack bass slam. Will 009s be less bright and have more bass slam than L300LE (to be frank, i find plenty bass slam in my system with music that has it, clear L300LE doesn't have any authority below 50hz, but that can very rarely be heard anyway, i don't listen much to organ music)?
What other benefits will 009s bring into play? Is 009s a considerably more revealing earspeaker than L300LE/L700?

Upgraditis is a very infectious disease indeed

Can a 353x do justice to a 009 (and 009S) as a stopgap until one upgrades to a KG amp?

Hi. I would like to ask you ... I have Stax SRM-353X, so I would like to know...What is better choice for this amp 353X, please ? Stax SR009 or SR009s, please ? My email: dusanpetricek@gmail.com
Regards, Dusan

Spent the last two months listening to the 009s via the stax D10 and it has been very pleasant and revealing.
Still plan on investing in a proper amp but I don't expect the 009s' sound 'significantly' better after doubling my investment.
I am expecting the low end to have more range (power) and hopefully the high end will soften (tube warmth).
on that topic there is a lot of discussion herein. looking for more of that...

Your 009S will become a new headphone once you move to a proper amp. Get a Carbon (what I have) or BHSE and then report back

comparing the tones loudness with the stax behavior is my new audio obsession

Hi guys I am a new stax owner of the SR-L700s which I have found to be of a similar quality to some $3500 to $4000 cans. I want to upgrade to either the 009 or the 009S but cannot seem to find detailed comparison info. I sure there is something here in this forumn but when you type 009 into the search bar you seem to get a lot of 009S related stuff and very few comparisons.

I need to know if any of you have heard all three or even if you have heard the 009 and 009S and can tell me of the 3 which do you prefer and why. I would also like to know which of these you consider to be the most detailed as I just truly wan a pair of cans that open my eyes to levels of detail that I did not ever think i would get to experience.

Any help and or ino you can provide would be truly appriated.

Thanks,
Dan Lee
