    Oh no! I hope it's safe. But that's a bit inconvenient. Selling a high-end amp like that is already difficult enough.

    I had an SRD-7 Pro in the beginning, but it didn't really do the Stax earspeakers justice in my opinion. Then I had a SRM-313 I refurbed that was ok, but the SRM-T1S I refurbed later was better. Now it's just the lowly SRM-212 energizer, basically the predecessor to the modern SRM-252.

  5. JK47
    Not possible to use speaker amp with 313, T1S, 212, or 252. They are stand alone energizers, not transformers. I did try a Pioneer m-22, Cambridge Audio 651, Mitsubishi A-D10, with the SRD-7 Pro, and felt it lacked the detail and attack of a dedicated energizer, kinda slow and soft.

  Was doing a DAC shoot out with convert 2, rockna and termi. Could not get the rockna to play nice with EC studio. 20volt output should be ok
  
  Sep 27, 2019
  2. Xecuter
    @purr1n. It was sft-1 to the DACs. Any idea why 20volt at 0.5 ohm on rockna would have issue with studio input transfos? C2 is 18 volt and I don't have any issue with it.

    Hilux, when you don't want to ever think about your car again. Mazda when you want a little bit more bling for buck. What are the engines used your side of the globe? I hear the new 2.6L Toyota V6 is trouble in hot climate.

    The 2.8 litre diesel is the new generation Hilux engine. Some early issues with the particulate filter, a little less powerful than Mazda and ford engine but far more refined and economical.
    I also figure if I hate it the resale will be excellent

    They used to have an Android app, maybe you could try see if a mirror of the old app is around somewhere, or wait for version 5 of the software to be released since that one supports config over browser.
