Way different price points so I’d think it should.
Get the KGSSHV if you want to drive the 007 at a minimum or modded they 007TII or KGST will do a good job as well.

My Stax SRM-D10 has failed. It refuses to charge. I am pretty sure it is the amp itself the has failed and not the power supply. Perhaps the battery has crapped out. When I plug it into the AC, the charging lights go on in the unit but nothing happens. When I turn the unit it on, it is completely dead.

Hay anyone else experienced this problem?

Since it is out of warrany, is it worthwhile to get if fixed or should I simply buy a new one? A repair would likely cost the best part of a new device.

Pretty sure if plugged into the AC and still not working at all then it might be dead unfortunately. Open it up see if you can replace the batteries yourself, might work? I’ve seen sourced batteries online from overseas I believe, if I can find the website I’ll post it. Or else give Mike a call in NY at Stax.com. He’s super helpfu, has videos on youtube and is an official Stax dealer.

I decided I like the srs-3100 so much I bought a combo of the sr-700 and the d-10. Given it’s a dac, is there a way to use this cable wise with the iPhone lightning? Or would I need to use the camera kit from the ifi black label? Is there a effective usb micro to lightning that will let the iPhone use the d-10 as a ampdac?

droido256, I have this same set up, L700 with D10. I looked but never found a lightning to micro usb but certainly have another look around the internet as you never know. I ended up with the Apple Lightning USB Camera Adapter plugged into the Stax provided cable. Worked very well.

I tried the camera connection kit, and the Stax cable, the green light flashed, until I started a song, but no sound. The d-10 works fine in line out tho. When I can find it, I’ll try another cable see if it’s a possible bad cable. I have to say, the combo of the d-10 with the L700mk2 jeez. These sound good

this setup works very well with my iPhone 7 as well through the micro usb in. A bigger / desktop DAC wouldn't, and the more expensive apple adaptor with the extra connection for charging would be required

unlike the fiio or the ifi, when I connect the d-10 to the iPhone via the camera connection cable, unlike before getting sound, but the iPhone’s volume control still works, and it’s sending sound into the d-10, but not sure if it’s actually bypassing the iPhone’s dac. Is the camera connection kit the right way to go? Or would I need to track down a lightning to micro usb cable?
