I am not quite sure what you mean but I understand it as: you want to transfer the drivers from your pair of hf580 into this casing. Is this correct?

It doesn't say on the page but I believe the casing is for round dynamic drivers only (albeit 70mm is unusual).
The plate with the orthodynamic driver in the hf580 is oval.
You might be able to frankenstein a solution and the answer in that case is probably the smallest of driver sizes available and then saw out a proper hole size but I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a savant with the dremel tool.

thanks for your answer.
but what diameter hf580 in a fact?

thanks for your answer.

Found this in this thread, I would suggest you transplant the entire driver plate into a new shell. The driver itself I believe is 97mm x 76mm, same as sendy avia.

no filled up holes



filled up the holes to avoid ringing and sometimes a bit of resonances....


I think it sounds better now. Bass is more relaxt.. whole midrange is more relaxed. Oh yes... I do use the Sheepskin Ali Express m1060 earpads:

I will put those earpads also on my Stax 3100. I love them!

Enjoy the music a lot!

How does one remove the pads, to put on the other ones? The manual only shows how to put them on, but not take them off.

I use plastic separator. I insert it between the pad and the cup from the outside and gently push the tabs on the ring that holds the pad.

How's the sound?

This version sounds more open. There is no material damping so there is no shell effect. When I wear them I don't feel that there is anything between my ears and external world. At the same time, the diaphragm is under control so the sound is not flashy or harsh.

What was this measurement done with?

Do plan on selling this mode sometime down the road?

 

[gumisb]

In some point it's possible. More tests are needed done by others than me . For now I'm only able to make few prototypes and it's takes too much time. But for sure it could be perfect kit for someone who has Takstar already and basic DIY skills to solder driver to the new shell.

I can make measurements of you are interested. I have two takstar
