STAX SRM-D10 Portable DAC Drive Amp (in development but listenable yet ) ~PCM 384kHz／24bit、DSD 5.6MHz
Release date is not decided. Can drive almost all Stax Ear Speakers.(Not SR-002, I think)

They better also sell a good carry case for the headphones, cause given how sturdy Lambdas feel, I ain't taking them anywhere without one.

Any idea of estimated cost ?

Yes, I agree. Before the portable DAC, people of STAX should prepare good carry case for their headphones. STAX hasn't ever made carry case for their earspeakers.

I have no idea about the price of the dac drive unit. If I can catch the sales person of STAX, I'm going to ask him.
But STAX's developing speed is very slow. (Last week I met him at a audio shop event in Akihabara, and asked
when the sealing cover and ear piece for SR-002,which are already shown at some events, will be released.
He answered 'in this year'.)

The first made in china stax product?

what is it intended to be used with aside from the 003? just curious because electrostats aren't exactly the most mobile headphones, being a bit more fragile and dust-prone than other options

Was inquiring about replacement ear pieces for my SR-003 in early 2016 and told the same.

SR-007 MKII come in a pretty rugged case:

Hold up! This is a Stax protable DAC and AMP? I thought this is only a portable amp?

If this is also a DAC. This will sell like hotcakes !

Why even mention a carry case when you have this?

 

[SeaWo|f]

I always thought that was the purpose of the omega boxes.

Maybe with this probable amp stax will also release a successor to the 4070 for use in public settings.

At CanJam there was a guy in the lobby with a Stax Sigma portable rig. It was a sad sight for some reason. Not sure what use there is for a Stax portable set up besides being a woman repellent.

Use a Monoprice/Pelican case. The monoprice case would be a fraction of the cost of any Stax solution.
