Nahh, you should be buying DMP-Z1 !!!!! The more expensive something is, the better it will sound!! That is the modern world we live in....that is why Stax is affordable nowadays. Very...affordable .

The last time somebody claimed Copper chassis made it sound good was A&K, then WM1Z....and they are expensive ! They must sound good ! Hahaha

 

[protoss]

Lol, you funny. I understand. Connecting staxs to these legendary players is something to behold thou.

The gas will be a balance R2R Dac or another good balance dac. It is also great with 1984 to 94's legendary CD-players with those best analog sounds.
Also good cooper interconnects will smooth the edges of the 727. And proper Audio files can easily get to 5K level amps.

Guess my main argument is to get the best performances for fraction of the price. I believe it is possible.

Tis true to a certain extent. Cd players and dac's from that era are tremendously under rated and affordable. I spent $1600 recently, including shipping, for my own sl-p1300 and das-r1. Any headphone amp builder will have a tremendously hard time coming up with a better bang for the dollar.

By the time you get to Omega level though I really think you owe it to yourself to try a kgsshv or better along with a great source. First thing is the 727ii will not drive the sr-007. Not enough gain. It will drive the sr-009 but not a good synergy, too bright, dry, and bass light. You can diy a kgsshv for the price of a 727ii new and while I did not think the kgsshv was all that great with the sr-009 it was amazing with the sr-007's.

You know in the 84-94 era you mention Stax built their ultimate headphone listening system with inflation factored in? Guess what a whole lot more money was put into? It was the $4200 T2 energizer. The sr-Omega headphone was just $1699.

Don't Spritzer's DIY kgsshv parts go for around $750 total? The BOM parts would add around another $300, right? Pretty sure the 727, even used, costs more than that.

 

[Whitigir]

U need chassis and volume pot too though

 

[tigon_ridge]

I see. I thought those were included.

 

[Whitigir]

I see. I thought those were included.

I never built it from Spritzer kit, so I wouldnt know...it is just that it had always been a choir to look for a good chassis, do metal works and find a good volume pot...for me

 

[formyears]

if you can see the tine dot on the vol knob-
using balanced ip of srm t8000; gain increase leaves the vol at 9instead of 12 when se ip used
either way breaking inthe t8000 for a few days while ireconfigure my existing equipment
