Aka off the battery? Does Stax offer replacement batteries for these? For future knowledge.As to the sound, The secret to the D-10 is running it on DC.

Whether it's battery, or via the mains adapter, DC is the only option - unless you modify it.Aka off the battery? Does Stax offer replacement batteries for these? For future knowledge.
Oh oh I see what you mean. Yeah it’s dc through and through.Whether it's battery, or via the mains adapter, DC is the only option - unless you modify it.
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)
I just unpacked my new D10 and it has the same low level hum audible through ear speakers that you reported. Even when not connected to a source or the power supply.does touching the D10 with your bare hands make the humming stop?

According to the product page on HeadAmp, the mk2 is using an AKM4493 DAC chip. Now I thought the 4493 was a model that was discontinued after the factory fire, but looking through the AKM D/A Converter list, there's a new 4493SEQ model that seems to be the successor. But the advertised 384KHz support for the D10mk2 doesn't match the 768KHz capability of the SEQ. Now it might be that the D10's frontend doesn't take full advantage of the SEQ's innate capabilities.Wonder if the DAC chip is upgraded to ESS9038 or not?
