STAX SRM-D10 Portable Electrostatic Headphone Amp / DAC

Description

SRM-D10

The diminutive, yet pleasingly solid SRM-D10 is the world’s first compact, portable, battery-powered Electrostatic Amplifier / DAC.

Now you can enjoy the freedom of using ALL modern STAX Audio electrostatic earspeakers (with PRO bias connectors) anywhere you go. The built-in high-resolution DAC is easily capable of playing up to DSD128 files, too.

Due to the extremely thin and light diaphragm membrane, often only a few micrometers thick, and the complete absence of moving metalwork, the frequency response of electrostatic headphones usually extends well above the audible limit of approximately 20 kHz. The high-frequency response means that the low-midband distortion level is maintained to the top of the audible frequency band, which is generally not the case with moving coil drivers.

STAX

Founded in 1938, STAX brought the world's first electrostatic headphone to market in 1960. Today they continue their long tradition by offering the finest audio products for both professional and audiophile applications.

All STAX headphones are referred to as "earspeakers" - the company states that such ultra-high fidelity devices can only be compared with the best cost-no-object loudspeakers, not other headphones. Their unique amplifiers, earspeakers and drivers are highly sought-after products, and extremely well considered by aficionados in the audio industry.

Unilet Sound & Vision are one of the oldest STAX dealers in the UK, and one of the very few official outlets stocking their products. Do get in touch with us if you would like to audition the range, or need advice or assistance with choosing the right system for your needs.
