Still put a smile in my face in every listening sessions. Expand This should be good. Came so close to owning a Stratus. 9 months into my order I cancel it. Maybe I should order it again. Donald is an excellent person to talk to.

And Donald is indeed an excellent vendor to deal with, very helpful. He also manage the transportation of my amp both ways Melbourne-LA and back to Melbourne, when I upgraded my amp, with cheaper cost to my quoted transport single way. All I need to do just drop the amp to DHL warehouse. And the last update of Stratus is great, removing my itch to further upgrade, except maybe DNA Stellaris

Bengineer Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Black too. Finally! I only ever see silver and red! When turning the dials, try not have your finger drag around the faceplate as you do it. The writing apparently not the most durable.

Expand yap seen some complain about that and being very careful... not changing too much except playing with Matrx and being very careful to only touch the tip of the switch... for volume, using my SMSL remote so hopefully writing does not come off... Black no choice... wanted red but they didn't only had black in stock so took black but is goes well with on my desk actually.. .

Odyssey Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Brilliant Neil. Your photography does justice to this well regarded and outstanding amp. The quietest tube amp I've experienced and the construction is first class. 2 1

soundfan Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 Don't currently own a headphone amp but this is my rig at the minute. Astell & Kern SR 15 and Hyla CE-5 IEM's cabled with Orpheus MK5.5 4 wire cable Fitted with a 500gb micro sd card, and although I have over 850 albums on it (99% FLAC files), still have about 40% still to fill. Great sound, and the Hyla CE-5 IEM's are superb with bass reproduction awesome. My only quibble is battery life; get about 7 hrs if played without scrolling through files all the time. 4
