Hello

I need help finding a DAC/AMP stack or combo unit that would fit my Aryas well.

Source: PC
AMP: solid state / tube
sound signature: balanced/flat/neutral
portability: no, will be used as a desktop unit
Budget: 1500euros For the stack or combo unit.

Units selected by me:
Topping D90LE + Topping A90D
Topping A70 Pro + Topping D70 Pro OCTO
HiFiman serenade
Topping DX9
HiFiman EF600

Use case: music (jazz)

I've had them a few times. The Topping L50/E50 does great with them, and the same power on all outputs so you can save money on balanced cables. Also it's great for IEMs in the future since the noise floor is so quiet.

Isnt the L50 little bit on the warmer side?

I'm using my Aryas with my RME ADI-2 DAC FS. The combo is, just out of the box, to my liking. But obviously the sweet thing about the ADI-2 is, that you can play around and change pretty much everything.

I would suggest a Violectric DHA V226.

The RME ADI-2 drives my Arya Organic and my old Arya V2 very well.

I had the Topping D90LE + A90D stack. The headphones i used with it were the Hifiman HE1000v2, Focal Clear, Beyerdynamic T1.1.

It is a very detailed stack, that has a good sounding stage with very crisp highs, a very detailed and punchy bass. BUT it can sound cold and sterile. For the money you really get an extremely detailed sounding stack that built wonderful and does not take much space off your desk.
