a successor to the great T2 is certainly great news ... where can one read about this?


Oh my, the disinformation here is incredible. I am going to read the cards and get to the truth...

There should be a mandatory test to pass until one can post in this thread.... Test would be about stax and stats common sense, can't post until you can discern between an entry level prototype dac/amp and what would be a t2 successor for example :).

What a pity. I don't even know what the T2 is, was or does, but I will continue to post impressions and questions on this thread as I see fit.
 
I hope that's ok with you, Lord Farquhar.


Think simple reading on here before posting will do...

So before any questions are asked everything should be searched for using keywords, and if the desired results aren't found users should trawl through all of the pages to make sure they know what they're talking about?

If he got it wrong - either correct, assist or help him... Or just ignore him. Mocking and snobbery doesn't help anyone.

'Look at this wastrel trying to talk about DAC's!! Scoff scoff'

You're right, no need to be rude, and I've personnaly and carefully avoided that in my first answer.
But writing with such self-confidence that this small prototype is legacy for the insane T2 is at least chuckling...and no need to be electrical engineer nor Stax's specialist.
Knowledge (or lack of) isn't at stake here, but the way one is positionning him/herself, turning assumptions based on lacking infos into certainties

Stax is a very secretive company, SR-Lx00 range for example was a surprise.
We know they have some low-end stuff, that has been exhibited since 2014 (DAC-Amp based on SRM-252S and DAC-Amp based on SRM-001). We also know (since 2012 - check Factory Tour) they might still be working on a TOTL amp, they once said it was on standby, Edifier would have said it'll be unveiled this year...anyway, we'll know on time, as always with Stax

I went Tokyo Headphone festival 2016 today.
and I audition Senn HE1 + esoteric X05 disk player at headphone festival.
Not so impressed me at all.
I listen to CD Eiji Owe, Minnesota Orc. Stravinsky Fire Bird Suite(Reference Recording).
then I went my home and listened to same CD with SR-L700 + SRM007tA(maybe lesser amp than HE1) + Luxman DA-200(maybe lesser DAC than esoterics) combo.
HE1 sound fuller bass(+1) and not so impressed treble(slightly muddy). not so impressed.
L700 sound more musical and articulate treble and less bass. overall L700 sound more musical than HE1 for me IMO.
I guess Headphone technology has already reached technological plateau.
