I thought I read somewhere but can't seem to find it now...how are people solving the creaking in the headband on the Stellia?

I bought some DuPont dry-film lubricant from Amazon. You can spray it in the gap where the earcups attach to the metal band. This will eliminate any creaking.

Don't use too much. I made that mistake and some of the inside plastic film came off!

Hello friends

I am looking for a portable DAC/AMP for my Stellias. I was thinking of the Quedtyle M15, Cayin RU6 or the Mojo 2. Any recommendations?

Thank you.
I use the Sony NW-WM1A (bought pre-owned) and have been very happy with that. The customizable firmware options (using Mr. Walkman’s firmware) is really something, too.

I can vouch for the Mojo 2 with the Stellia - much better synergy than the Mojo 1 had to my mind

I use the iFi iDSD Diablo as a portable solution with the Stellia. When comparing this to my desktop solid state amps the biggest difference I notice in the sound is slightly less bass punch on the Diablo.

Yeah, the Mojo 1 and Stellia is not a good combo, neither is the Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt. The iFi Micro iDSD Signature isn't perfect either but of the portable stuff I have it works the best.

The Mojo 1 or 2 alone powering the Stellia's is too much of a good thing. When I had them, I was using the Mojo 2 feeding the Cayin C9. The pairing was brilliant.

Hello friends. Im seeing a great deal for a used Stellia. Id like to know does it push music like this very hard without problems. I have Elear now and its a little bit meh. Its not terrible but a bit shy and not radical enough. How is Stellia with this? Ty.
