My Aryas Stealth arrived yesterday. I'm comparing them to the Ananda Nano and the Edition XS. All 3 are great cans, but the Aryas are definitely the best of the bunch and technically superior. More transparent, more resolving in the mids than the Edition XS, but at the same time less fatiguing when ramping up the volume. Less sterile, bright and more musical than the razor sharp Nanos. Soundstage, technical nuances like sound decay, spatiality are better on the Aryas as well. I got them cheaper than the Meze 109 Pro, which I also tested, and honestly the Aryas stomp them.
Looking forward to the HEKs sometime later.
Interestingly, the Aune S17 Pro stays below 60 degrees with them in 100mA, while it stabilizes at 61 with the other two, using the same balanced cable.
