Hi Stax fans
I just found a fact about my Stax rig yesterday. i will share it for newbie Stax fans FyI. so this info is NOT for veteran Stax mafias.
I always feeled stax sounded etchy but i found the reson of it.
For me its just came from DAC's output stage crappy sounding conventinal opamps.(probablly)
I just tried Schiit Bifrost 4490(which have descrete Class A output stage cuircuit) + KGSShv Carbon + SR-L700 combo.
Wow Just sounds RIGHT! it sounds so Analoug Smooth Punchy Dynamic 3D!
Yes Stax HP are tooooo tranceparent so maybe you can hear crappy opamps flows of your DACs.
IMO DAC output stage should be descrete Class A cuircuit for Stax. Otherwise it will sound crappy!
hope this some newbies helps.
Cheers.
