Your “wow” headphones
My first "Wow" moment was back in the 80's with the Porta Pros. Next oddly enough were Beats by Dre with the batteries in them. The bass was incredible to me back then. Interestingly, they are what started me on this journey. Most recently the Arya's soundstage blew me away. I was running it...- Jetblack08

HIFIMAN Arya (& 2021 Stealth Magnet version) - Impressions Thread
Not showing off Bro... but REALLY trying to convey that the difference is BIG. I used that comparison because the 789 and the Sabaj were what I used before the Phonitor. If you can get more power for your Arya, do it. You won't be disappointed. I apologize if I came off as if showing off. Not...- Jetblack08

HIFIMAN Arya (& 2021 Stealth Magnet version) - Impressions Thread
The Arya definitely needs power. I thought the 789 THX amp was good with the Arya... purchased the Phonitor X and turned the Arya into a beast. Unbelievable what the right amount of power does for it. I swear I am all day at work waiting to get home. Anyone who has the Phonitor X put dip...- Jetblack08

SPL Phonitor X / Phonitor E impressions and Discussion thread
As one who owns the Phonitor X and the Hifiman Arya, I can't imagine a more beautiful pairing. I am convinced given the right amount of power nothing beats the Arya. At first I was listening with dip switches 1 and 2 in high gain and was unsure about the results. After reading a few post, I got...- Jetblack08

HIFIMAN Arya (& 2021 Stealth Magnet version) - Impressions Thread
I had already owned the Drop THX AAA 789 amp when I purchased the Arya and it was a pairing that I enjoyed. After looking at Arya reviews and reading I started seeing where people were saying the Arya sounded better with more powerful amps. I read it somewhere where that the Sabaj D5...- Jetblack08

HIFIMAN Arya (& 2021 Stealth Magnet version) - Impressions Thread
It has been quite awhile since I have commented on Head-fi. Since that time I have gone from iems exclusively to full size headphones. I currently own the HD 660s, Elear, Elex, Clear, Dt 1990, Sundara, and Arya. My current favorite is the Arya. Phenomenal separation and air between instruments...- Jetblack08

What do you guys think about 2nd and 3rd party developers creating amps for the DX200 for different sound signatures? For example amps by Schitt or ALO?- Jetblack08

DX200=Affordable High End Audio. Dual ES9028Pro dacs. AMP1, AMP3, AMP5, AMP7 & AMP8 ***Firmware support now up for AMP9***
For some strange reason, I can't get my unit to update firmware. I am still on the first firmware it came with. At first I was having problems with the swiping issue but, it seems to have corrected itself. I am desperate for the latest firmware update but, I can't seem to figure out the problem.- Jetblack08

Actually Earsonics were selling them. My initial transaction didn't go through because my bank blocked it... ID fraud suspected. I cleared it with the bank and the SM3s are on the way. Thank you Ivabign for the heads up.- Jetblack08

I tried purchasing one today, but they wouldn't let me complete the transaction. I suspect it is because they no longer make these. They just didn't take them from the sales page.- Jetblack08

My question is the K10 custom and the K10 universal are the same price? Seems odd as usually the universal counterpart is cheaper.- Jetblack08
