Selling my barely used HD58X Jubilee. There are some minor signs of use here and there but it's still in great condition including the pads. I am the original owner and my guess is that it's been used for less than 30 hours. I may have lost its original box during moving but I'll make sure to...- analogbox

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
Not sure as I haven't heard the Magni but I'm sure it's a fine DAC for the price. However, the difference I heard between my Topping D10 and Bifrost 2/64 wasn't huge. It took me a near silent room and multiple back-and-forth listening sessions to be able to tell the upgrades in sound. Does...- analogbox

When upgrading gears, it's always recommended to start with headphones. Then, an amp to pair with your headphones. DAC would come last in the upgrade chain. You'd be surprised how indifferent cheap vs. expensive DACs are.- analogbox

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
I have both. The staging is way bigger on the V2. The sound on the Organic is much more intimate and forward. It's not something you notice if you only listen to one or the other, but when you compare them side-by-side, the difference is not so subtle.- analogbox

Schiit Audio Bifrost 2
A few weeks ago, I spent a couple of hours switching between different inputs on the Bifrost blindly using different types of music in a quiet room with HD800S and Arya Organic, and I could not tell any discernable difference between them. I know it's not a perfect method, but what I did was I...- analogbox

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
I have to second this. The 800s with my tube amp brought a lot of bass and energy with a wide soundstage but I thought it lacked the height, detail, and layering. I didn't enjoy running them with my SS amp because the sound was cold and flat sounding. Simply changing the DAC in my SS amp chain...- analogbox

You'll like the combination. The two have a really good synergy. I loved my Arya V2 for classical music but I thought the mids were too recessed to enjoy with any modern music. With the Bifrost's engaging forward mids, I feel like it complimented nicely with the V2 and the modern music is more...- analogbox

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
The V2s are still excellent headphones. I personally preferred it over the HEKV2. Between the Stealth and the Organic, I would pick the Organic 10 out of 10 times. From what I remember, it's just a better version of Stealth, IMHO. However, with the V2, the choice is not so obvious.- analogbox

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
I was just going to add to my previous post but, yes, I think the Organic is technically superior than the V2. But I'm still not sure which one I like more. I think what I was feeling yesterday about the wall of sound and the haziness from the V2 are actually from the V2 reproducing the sound...- analogbox

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
Quick impressions. Arya V2 still has about 20% wider soundstage if I were to put into numbers. Listening to the Organic and going back to the V2 makes it sound like the V2 has a wall of sound whereas the Organic has more distinctive depth. The V2 also sounds a bit hazy compared to the Organic...- analogbox

Burson Soloist 3X Performance Head/Pre Amp - 8Wpc XLR with MUSE72320 volume control
I'm using the Decware CSP2 with Sophia 274B and 6N23P tubes. This combination already provides nice holographic sounds. Combine that with the 3 XP's power-amp mode takes it to a whole new level I haven't heard before. I was actually thinking about possibly trying out the GSX-mini since...- analogbox

Burson Soloist 3X Performance Head/Pre Amp - 8Wpc XLR with MUSE72320 volume control
I know this was talked about before, but running the Burson in power-amp mode and pre-amping it with a tube amp is sublime. I don't know why I didn't think about doing this until now. The increase in soundstage is ridiculous. The sound is big and yet intimate. I highly recommend trying it out if...- analogbox
