Heheh! I was a bit puzzled by your post. Then I realised you are actually referring to Chowmein's comments.
Well, I think it's a matter of conjecture at this stage: the price and how the Shangrila will compare with the 009. Thus far we have all heard only the prototype and even then in less than ideal show conditions. Finally off the Hifiman amp which seems to be still a WIP. The source also tends to be the Hifiman HM901S & its dock.
Much as I do love my Stax cans collection, I think it is still too early to tell how the Shangrila will pan out.
That is true - I keep forgetting that the amp is still being worked-on and the fact that nobody (or very few people) have been able to listen to the Shangri-La with a higher-end source. It's probably more capable than what anybody has ever heard it at, but I still believe the SR-009 won't be too far behind (the SR-009 itself is capable of some really amazing things).
