does touching the D10 with your bare hands make the humming stop? If so, refer to my post #87 above (do note I got some sort of noise even while not connected to power supply)

What you were experiencing is a ground loop, but my unit hums from within the thing itself, I don't have any headphone, usb lead, 3.5mm cable, or power cable attached.

the hum does not go away when I touch it.

sorry I cant help then.
I tried in total three different D10 units, two of which I owned, at 110v and 220v plugs, but none had such hum

Hello,

This is an old thread but I'll try to ask here, has anyone used d10 with omega 007mk2? I know it works very well with lambda series, but I'm wondering if d10 would drive 007 properly.

Im using it since August with both the D10 and an upgraded 007T. Yes I like the tube amp more, but other than max volume I find the differences minimal. As for volume, I agree with whats been said here: after circa 14pm in the volume knob, the D10 does little to low frequencies. But it is pretty listenable, and an easy to carry pack (I poste sodmewhere the 007ii case with the D10 inside for travels). it is enough for me
If yor concern is more with max volume and you do like to listen a greater levels, then the D10 is probably not enough. For disclosure, Im yet to listen to the 007ii in a higher spec amp as they say only them can "drive 007 properly"

Thanks for sharing. I remember base in 007mk2 was really massive so if d10 does a little to it after 2pm on the volume knob then maybe it's not that bad just kidding, but anyway it would be interesting to hear it.

I heard 007mk2 on 727ii and 700s - both seemed to drive them very well imo. What is the higher spec amp you are thinking of ?

BHSE and the like. Ive never heard it, just repeating what Ive been told from 3 people that actually own the 007 mk I or II and swear it improves drastically with a nicer amp. I for one expect to test it with a kgsshv carbon within 2-3 months
Still the D10 is a very capable and portable amp I would only sell if Im really getting rid of my headphone gear

Thanks again. By the way could you please share the link or name of the travell case you mentioned for d10+007 ? I think it my be helpfull for anyone who plans to use omegas with d10.

Happy with my D10 as well, sounds really good when on complete DC. I originally was using the D10 with my L700 until I got my 007tll. The D10 drove them just fine. I now use with my 003mk2 with the D10, it’s perfect for on the run… but it ain‘t no 007tll.

shure, it's 007's own travel case, the D10 fits in a way it all becomes very snug and shake proof, plus there is space for some cables

Been curious about the SR-003 MK 2 and finally bought one. Really liking the sound. More towards the 007mk2 sound than 009. By the way, I know a lot of folks say the D10 can't drive the 007mk2 but for my ears, it is way loud enough. I never go beyond 1 o'clock with the 007mk2. As far as sound quality, my SRM-007tII amp is better. Overall, for $240, the SR-003mk2 is a fun way to get Stax sound in a portable manner.

I have used the D10 with L700 and lambda sigma pro, on an iPad Pro with usb c connector, and I works very good.
Similar characteristic sound to my SRM 006s II with NOS RCA Clear Top tubes.
Great for music and streaming TV late at nite.
Could not be more pleased!
Also works very good off an iPhone 13 pro, with usb camera adapter connecter.
The D10 needs several chanrge/discharge cycles to break in and sound it’s best.

Agreed. Almost same set up other than I use L700s compared to your 007mk2. The overall performance of the 007tll is so good that I’ve wanted to do the mod offering but am so satisfied with the stock unit, I just don‘t want to mess with what I think is perfec.

The 007mk2 sounds so much better on the Carbon and BHSE though.
