Depends on what you are burning in
Is it the equipment or your understanding of the equipment

I agree 100% as per experience. Lucky me Im familiar how stellia sounds fully burned in and used it many times before I bought my set. As per my previous post before the recent one, last 2019 I have already unboxed, demoed and also compared the fully burned in Stellia. So yeah I agree Stellia really benifit to proper burn in. There’s 2 burn in...Personally, I don’t think you can get a true idea of changes, by listening now & again. How can you remember what it really sounded like the first time, or how many hours later & so on.

1. Equipment burn in its like warming up before the actual race and
2. Mind burn in, like preparing and introducing the first hearing then adjusting to changes then getting used to the sound itself.
This helpful person's fix for the Elegia also works for the Stellia. It didn't completely remove the creak from mine, but it's greatly reduced.I have owned the Stellia's for about a year, so the new glow bias has worn off. I still think they are awesome headphones. What makes them unique is their ability to make music sound like people playing instruments and/or singing, not some glossed over euphonic sound. For people that have never played an instrument or don't listen to live music, that's not a big deal. For anyone that has sat in an orchestra and heard how a brass section sounds or a violin sounds up close, it's a bigger deal. My only issue is the creakiness of the headband, mostly when handling it. When it's on my head, it's pretty silent.
Xbass with Stellia is also a nice feature try the 10hz or 20hz to satisfy your inner closeted bass head, the pro idsd also drives them well also.The Stellia’s sound great with the pro ican especially on tube+!
I lIke both my Arya and Stellia.I have been trying to consolidate my headphones. I'm almost down to just the Clear MG and Stellia. Got the stellia this morning. It's a lot to take in for sure. I actually went and A/B against my prior main closed back that I have which was the DT1770... yeah that wasn't a pretty comparison.
I was mostly concerned that the Stellia would be like a closed back Clear (but upgraded) but it's really something different that I haven't figured out in my limited listening. I was going to almost keep my Arya, and get rid of the MG but the MG and Stellia may be really good compliments.
Stellia also sounds good on the m11 pro balanced and is also surprisingly good with a Btr5 balanced for portable solution.i sometimes use my stellia with my Astell n Kern ak70 mark 2 with great results, volume goes to 150 and i play it around 110 with fantastic results. Not as good as my Bryston desktop amp but still very musical and a joy to listen to. edit- just noticed which daps u r using and you should have no problems with a stellia. enjoy
+1 for the pro ican and pro idsd also sounds great.I have the ifi pro iCan, and eyeing on getting the Stellia.
Question: Did someone tried pairing the Stellia with the ifi pro iCan? Does it pairs well? Or better get the bakoon 13R?
thanks.
I kept my stellia. They are probably my favorite headphone period. Arya’s were not for me. Audio quality was good but the whole package was not 1600 there. Ended up getting zmf Aeolus and they have been sublime.I lIke both my Arya and Stellia.
What cable do you use between Stellia and balanced M11 pro?Stellia also sounds good on the m11 pro balanced and is also surprisingly good with a Btr5 balanced for portable solution.
There is zero congestion in the sound. One of the strengths of the Stellia is the detail and macro/micro dynamics. This applies even at low listening levels, which is incredibly unique as some other headphones don't open up until the volume is a bit too loud for me.Thanks, I referring to the posters previous comment about the new Focal MG’s, regards new glow bias. Thanks for your feedback regard the Stellia’s. They certainly do sound appealing & as I said I think I’ve only read positive feedback about them. Is there any hint of harshness at all, or congestion in the sound ? I assume not ??
Off topic but Focal Elegia's are being sold brand new for more than half off right now. 399.99 at andorama. Found out through Z reviews. He has the link with the discounted price. Too amazing of a deal to let pass up.
