Not me, but I am also still on the question of the right amp/DAC as I need a solution that can be brought to different rooms etc. Currently thinking about the Sony ta zh1es.. anyone has that one and runs the Arya with it ? I think I can get it cheaper in used than a hugo2.

The sound of Arya is very dependent on the open back, placing the palms a centimeter from the back leads to darkening of the stage

Anyone has Arya and FA-10 amp ?

Anyone tried the Arya with the new THX Onyx?

Jumped the gun and grabbed an Arya yesterday for a very decent price. Went in blind but from my experience with previous headphone endeavours as well as reading about the Arya’s key signature features I think it’ll fit right in.

PS: for EU buyers, there are a bunch of brand new Arya’s in Hifiman’s EU warehouse, can be combined with the clearance sale codes as well.

Do you have a link ?

Do you have a link ?

You can buy it straight from the Hifiman webshop, they will automatically use the best logistical route that’s available. (If in stock that is)

You can always ask customer service before you go ahead and order, just to be on the safe side. I specifically asked them about their EU warehouse in Poland to avoid paying unnecessary tax on a product that already includes tax.

Has anyone replaced the stock Arya cable with another or more cables and what are your impressions ?

 

[T 1000]

Arya cable is not bad, but by replacing it it can get a cleaner signal, which affects the overall performance

The Arya cable is actually pretty good apart from the length.
Sound quality was surprising for a Hifiman cable

I found the stock cable to be a bit stiff and unwieldy.

 

[T 1000]

The same observations, both in terms of stiffness (luckily my Cardas is like cooked spaghetti), and in the quality of the sound It seems that in HFM they put emphasis on sound adding quality cable to the whole package and less on luxury headphones, although the quality of construction is not so bad, the plastic is quality and the grill is aluminum, the cushions are super comfortable.

To my ears, the Signum+ cable from Arctic is better than than the stock (which is quite ok, except for the stiffnes)

It's silver? I'm thinking of buying one, maybe with a touch of palladium, I remember the jump in overall sound quality when I replaced the AresII with a Penon Leo + cable on the Fearless S8f.

All the cables in my system are made of copper because I built my current system for the HD540RG which is thin in bass (although it can surprise in depth and texture)

I found stock Arya cable microphonic. Otherwise quite good quality wire and connectors
