New Head-Fier
Hi everyone from Manila, Philippines! I've been into tube gear since 2014 but only started in Head-Fi fairly recently.
OK, then. Stay tuned. I’ll post it soon. I already wrote it up and have been debating where to post it.I’d love to hear your reactions to the Arya’s
That’s funny. I have those old Sony MDRV 6 phones in a dead pile in my closet. As soon as I bought some replacement ear pads for them many years ago I bought some new Grado 225s and forgot the Sonys!Hello,
I'm a relatively long-time lurker looking for somewhere to ask and get answers to questions about audio sources, DACs, amplifiers, & headphones.
I started down this path quite some time ago--I've been a professional (now amature) musician for over 30 years now. I've always relied on "flat", "clinical" headphones (30 y/o Sony MDR-V6--actually made in Japan!) for work and play. I'm ready to branch out and enjoy streaming hi-res audio streams in my office and on the go. I'll probably ask some stupid questions now and again. Please be kind!
Cheers,
Bill
If it helps you make a decision, I’m about to post my recent experience with a set of Aryas I bought (and returned to) Apos Audio. Stay tuned.Thank you!!
I'm relatively new to HiFi audio, and I've saved up enough to get either an Arya, or a HD800s!
Though I'm excited to try planar magnetics, so I'm leaning towards the Arya
I had a quick go of the AtomHE when I demoed the Clear Mgs. It was a lovely combination. I also tried the Focal Utopias with the Atom which was even better - though not sure if it justified the large difference in price. I think the Atom was developed to work together with Focal 'phones given the links between the two companies. Beautiful looking piece of kit too.I also have a pair of Clear Mgs! I think they’re great! They‘re the perfect complement to my new HD800s. I’m running them through my (also new) Naim Uniti Atom HE - which is amazing.

LOL - can’t wait!OK, then. Stay tuned. I’ll post it soon. I already wrote it up and have been debating where to post it.
It doesn’t seem likely that Apos would approve it for their website review section. If I were them, I wouldn’t.
No, no profilesI had a quick go of the AtomHE when I demoed the Clear Mgs. It was a lovely combination.

If I were able to justify a second system I think I would get one and pair it with some active speakers (maybe the acoustic energy AE1).
Does it have specific profiles for the various Focal headphones?
