Good Choice........soloist 3xp will power even the Susvaras......singxer sa1 has very little gain in high gain mode so you need to pair it with high Vrms dac otherwise it will struggle to power even the arya.....

Ok, with "...otherwise it will struggle to power even the arya..." you are saying that the sa-1 cannot bring out the best qualities of arya. I'll definitely consider it. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the information! I'll take a deep look at the Burson amp as well. So I take it that a powerful amp will bring out a different dimension of the headphone qualities instead of just simply capable of being louder.

More dynamic sound...better separation.....since better control on magnets

Singxer with some DAC like chord mojo / hugo 2 that produce 3V output stage is so powerful to drive Arya (low gain is enough). Let alone with some balance DAC that produce 4-6V.

Has anyone tried the Arya with the Feliks Euforia?

Has anyone tried the Arya with the Feliks Euforia?

anyone tried it with the feliks echo2?

I have not, but I have tried Arya on Schiit Valhalla 2, which is slightly more powerful than Euforia. Valhalla drives Arya ok on light passages of music, but loses control of the driver when there is heavy bass or complex passages which results in plainly audible distortion (not the good kind). Basically, Arya will work with a low power OTL tube amp in a pinch, but it's definitely not an optimal pairing.

Do we know what changed about the sound from v2 to v3? I looked back in the thread and couldn’t find an answer to that.

I bought mine a three months ago…they are 35ohm which I assume makes them a v2.

The V3 Arya is quite new. I don’t think anyone has compared the sound with the V2 yet.

Correct me if I'm wrong is there variant in pads? but I see 2 different pads with different opening cavity size, Left is mine, right is Stealth Magnet.

Love the customizations! Is your pair a V1 or V2? If it's a V1, they changed the pads from "UltraPad" to "SerenityPads" back with the V2. It's something no one talks about, but the material is denser, deeper (because the dustcover is no longer attached to the pad but to the ear cup), and seems to hold its shape longer over time.

If yours is a V2 with the SerenityPads, I'm as confused as you are

Anyone able to compare sound characteristics of a v1 Arya vs the v3 (Stealth Magnets)? I may have an opportunity to trade + cash my v1 for a v3.

If you end up with a V3 pair, I would love to know how you would compare the two.. If not.. there is a very good chance I may order one for myself and do a V1 vs V3 comparison. I currently LOVE my V1.. it sounds perfect to my ears off my gear so I'm hard pressed to believe it can get any better.. but I may have to see that for myself lol. If I buy a V3.. I will surely post a comparison but would love to see one from you if you get one in your hands as well!

My greatest fear - I will want to keep both Aryas for their awesome sound signatures and my wallet will suffer greatly..

For anyone curious.. here's a comparison I was able to find comparing V2 to the Stealth Magnet version:

https://forum.hifiguides.com/t/hifiman-arya/343/417

This is just one person sharing their experience and I wouldn't take it to heart until more reviewers can compare the two versions side by side. Also sounds like the V3 might not have been properly burned in prior to listening comparisons & measurements being taken but this is all that's out there.. for now..

Again.. if anyone ends up with a V3 and can compare to a V1 or V2, I'm sure many of us would appreciate it!

I would say this is only manufacturing deviation. I have 3 pairs, one ultra pads and two serenity and all have little different shape.
