Studer D730 -> Stax SRM 717 -> Stax Sigma/404 Hybrid OR -> Stax Lambda Nova Signature OR Stax 007 Mk 1. Despite the Studer being a transformer balanced output, I like the sound better all balanced rather than via RCA (the Studer provides a balanced/RCA output option and the Stax 717 has a balanced/RCA input option also). Less sibilant and more bottom end.
The Studer is on its way back from Switzerland after some repairs and updating (not bad after 14 years!).
I have a HeadRoom Home Balanced headphone amp, a Grado balanced Sr225, Squeezebox Duet and a Stello Dac DA 220 MKII. I am using my pc as the source for music (Apple lossless tracks).
