I have Chord Mojo with ny Stellia and I really love how the two sound together. Will get a tube amp in the future though.

Yup, the Stellia headphones sound fantastic. I've mentioned this before, but the $1K discount on the Arche makes the device a compelling DAC/Amp purchase as the two products have natural synergy. I toggle between the voltage, hybrid and Stellia settings depending on what I want. I recently added a Bluesound node 2i, which also exceeded my expectations in terms of ease of use, functionality, and sound.

bluesound node 2i is so easy to use and aims way above it's price point, use mine with stellias and a bryston hp

That's awesome, I absolutely love my Stellia. I purchased these blind after almost 7 years away from Headfi. Sound aside, I honestly think these are the best looking headphones in the audiophile world and was a major reason in deciding. I researched a bunch of other headphones and really couldn't bring myself to buying any of those because they just look so... weird. No doubt everything sounds on par more or less but damn, some these other companies need to take note from Focal and make headphones that don't look like something out of a 80s dollar store.

7 years away from headfi? How did you do that?

Haha, I don't recall the exact reason but I think it was just a change in interest. Glad to have come back, I've never enjoyed music more than I am now.

LOOOL tell me about it, it just started with "I think I will just buy a new pair of headphones" then before you know it you're emptying your wallet, that's when I remembered the old "Welcome to headfi, sorry about your wallet"

I recently came back after 3 years away. I always had the upgrade urge, but by not reading on here daily removed the temptation and I was able to quash it and enjoy what I had.
A bit of boredom during covid resulted in me following here more frequently.
I now have Stellia, 2 new amps, a new DAC and a bunch of cables and connectors.
My wallet says time to leave for a while again!

Edit - forgot to add have a transport and new headphone stand ordered as well. Think the Stellia will look stunning on a Samdi leather stand!

 

[Jukka]

Well, I took the plunge and ordered Auris Euterpe amplifier to go along with the Stellia. Cannot wait!

Unedited picture, pretty great-looking combo. Now it is time for some tube rolling.

Hello,

Hoping someone can help me. I recently just purchased a pair of Stellia however it will be coming with damaged pads with the owner suggesting to replace them. Someone already mentioned to me that the Stellia sound best with their stock pads and should not be replaced by another pair of different focal headphone pads.

However they never tested them with dekoni pads so wondering if anyone has used dekoni pads with their Stellia and know if it is as good or better than the stock pads.

Appreciate the help!

I’ve never seen any positive feedback on the dekoni pads for Stellia. You can try them but you’ll definitely want a pair of original pads too.

Does anyone have recommendations on how to deodorize and clean their Stellia's without damaging or staining the leather? I just got them delivered today after I bought it from a user here and they smell :S

furniture stores have leather cleaning products that shouldn't stain the leather

I bought something called Colourblock for aniline leather. It came with a cleaner and protectant. Seems to work very well. You can get it on Amazon for about $40-$50.
