Interesting... thanks! I bought a Topping D90 and A50 combo for my Arya and I liked to hear music with my Mest (MK1) with it too. Because it sounded way better as with the R6 pro alone. Today I used the R3 pro as a source and there is no difference (I can hear) between the "R3 as a source ->...

I am a bit baffled. All the years I heared music with my Hiby R6 Pro (heavy steel one) and mostly with my Mest. Couple years back I bought an R3 Pro but never used it. Next week I will fly away and I thought it might be a good idea to take the way smaller and less heavy R3 Pro with me. I changed...

Does anyone had the opportunity to audition a LCD-5? How are they compared to the Arya stealth? All I can find are comparisons to the Susvara. I suppose the LCD-5 has less bass, less upper treble, less comfort and you can buy three Arya's for the price of one LCD-5.

Thank you, but no, I meant the 3.5mm line out on top of the Hiby R6 to connect -----> with the COA input of the D90se. The Hiby comes with a cable and I thought I can use it as an alternative to stream my digital music to the D90se. But maybe this line out is analoge?

Maybe I'm late with this info, but on Crinacle's list the MkII is the new number 1.

I did a lot of reading before I decided to buy a D90se because some people wrote that they cannot hear a difference.

I try to connect my Hiby with the 3.5mm to RCA cable to my Topping D90se which doesn't work. Is this not a digital output? Or not a digital cable?

What kind of HQ Player? I use my Hiby as a USB Source because I have to use EQ. Sorry to be OT. It has little to do with the Arya.

I read a lot about different DAC's an AMP's before I bought the Topping D90se/A50s and I was close to buy an R2R DAC instead. I'm glad I didn't I do not want the sound any warmer. It's perfect like it is.

I just bought a D90se and A50s and compared to the Hiby R6 pro alone it's not night and day, but it sounds more revealing, less sharp (sibilant), with a cleaner bass (more rumbling) and better separation of the instruments. Even the Mest sound much more musical (a bit thicker and warmer). The...

It's black friday and I wonder if I spend some money on a DAC. I read a lot about different DAC's and if it's worth to spend the money. Some say it's not worth it and probaly not audible. At the moment I drive my Arya's (stealth) with a small xDuoo for 200€ and my question is if I spend 1500€...

I drive it from my Hiby R6 pro (245mW SE) with 80/100 and it sounds very good. I'm waiting for my balanced cable. The Hiby has 750mW balanced.

The Arya sound amazing. Unfortunately I realise that most of my library are bad recordings. haha :-)

Today is the second day with the Aray's and I'm still blown away how good they sound. (I come from the UM Mest and I don't miss a huge sound stage) I ordered a balanced cable and im interested if the 750mW balanced output from my Hiby R6 pro will change something audible. And someone here tried...

Can you tell me how the RS6 sound with the Arya V3 stealth (in R2R mode, not DSD)? Is the RS6 capable to soften the sharp edges (details) of the Arya stealth?

(Sorry, I cannot find the "pro" thread.) I have a technical question. If I buy a desktop dac and I connect my Hiby R6 pro (music library/source) with the dac and from there into an amp is it still possible to EQ the music using the Hiby R6 pro? Is the music although EQed still digital?

Thank you for your time, phthora. This was very helpfull. So, I can start maybe with an ADI-2 and send it back to Thomann if there is no improvement over the Hiby? In the end there is no risk. I know, the hugo 2 has a good reputation but I think it's a bit outdated. Any other recommendation...

The stealth version of the Arya is pretty easy to drive from a dap. Even SE. I still ask myself if it makes sense to invest into a Hugo2 (no USB C in 2021???) or Gustard x26/h16 combo or an RME ADI? I understand the benefit of an DAC/Amp if you have an 300ohm headphone....

I have a technical question. If I buy a desktop dac and I connect my Hiby dap (music library/source) with the dac and from there into an amp is it still possible to EQ the music using the Hiby? Is the music although EQed still digital?

So, where to go from here? There is definitely no need to buy more IEM's. Let's say I would spend around 5000€ or $ for an Amp/Dac, how much estimated improvement in sound would this produce? Compared to my Hiby dap. 5%... 7%? Is this even possible to say?

This is my first planar hp. Usually I hear music with my UM Mest. But this is really an experience. At the moment I enjoy David Crosby "here if you listen". I'm glad I bought these and not LCD-X's because of hearing loss of high frequencies the LCD-X would be too dark for me. I always thought...

I think my Hiby R6 pro has enough power to drive the (Stealth) Arya's and therefore there is no need for further amplification. I will send the xDuoo back. I will instead buy an balanced cable for the Arya's and my Hiby. Any (maybe AE or Amazon) recommendations for an 4.4 after market bal cable...

So, they send me the wrong xDuoo 05 (not Bal) and I have no cable to connect it with my Hiby. Doesn't matter... the Arya's sound already very good out of my Hiby. Pretty much addicting. I was very unsure if would like the sound because I was expecting a lean sound like a AKG 701. I was wrong...
