Hifiman Arya Stealth and Hifiman EF are magic together


So I’m pretty new to this audiophile thing so forgive me if I’m not fully detailed! I just recently purchased the Stealth from bloom audio and paired it with the EF 400 dac amp I’ve owned for a while now. And I’m enjoying the hell out of this combo. I also own the Audeze MM 500s. Those are a lot more detailed and better at vocals and mid range, but I actually prefer the sound of the Aryas on this. More dynamic and the bass slams! Soundstage is wide but not 800s level. Great purchase. I love my Auduze as well! I think they sound better on my Mojo 2. But I think I found my endgame, with the Arya and 500’s and don’t have no desire to spend 6000 on something like the Susvara. As long as my ears are happy that’s the most important thing when it comes to music.

I got this,.

I own the Arya Stealths too and like them very much, but by all accounts the HE1000 v2 or SE are significantly better with the SE offering a lot of the Susvara’s performance at a much lower price and significantly easier to drive.  Just something to consider if/when you get the itch to upgrade. 

@soix The OP just made his first post ever on Audiogon showing his love of his gear

Why throw a wet blanket on his gear that he can do better and/ or the same for less?
