Hifiman Arya Stealth Magnet - Discussion

Hi guys,

I have just bought a couple of Hifiman Arya Stealth.
Now I need a descent amp/dac for my new pearls :slightly_smiling_face:

Needed specs:

  • Optical
  • USB
  • Bluetooth

Price range:
335 - 469 EUR

Any good recommendations?

Thank you.

Yes………. :wink:

The xDuoo TA-22 meets all of the criteria you mentioned, sounds very harmonious with the Arya Stealth and is easy to tune by simply changing the standard 12AU7 tubes.

or in Europe via Amazon.

Its price is „almost“ within your budget.

Thank you very much.
It sounds nice :slight_smile:

Do you know Topping?
Maybe DX3 pro + or DX5 could also be possible options for me, I guess.

PS.
Of you know places, where I can buy good cables without breaking the bank, please let me know. :wink:

Yes

Yes, but it‘s not my cup of tea with any Hifiman, because it‘s to much of the „cleanliness“.

Means, the Arya sounds shrill and peaky with the most of the S.M.S.L or Topping Stuff.
At least to my ears.

But ifi Audio products harmonize quite well with Hifiman

Tripowin Grand Vitara, for around 45$ - 65$ on Amazon, linsoul……. for example

I’ve gotten the Youkamoo cables and the new black ones are really nice and really affordable. Also I just got the Openheart balanced cables from Aliexpress and they’re fantastic. Solid fit and finish, non microphonic and won’t tangle because of their heft. My daily set it a Hart Cables Hifiman complete multikit, but most people don’t need it. I get amplifiers in constantly so need every connector to test for function. If I’m in a hurry I’ll get Youkamoo, but much prefer the Openheart after getting one. Only problem is 10 days normally, but add an extra 2 weeks if it gets randomly chosen for a U.S. Customs inspection.
