I finally stumbled upon a fairly well tuned Hifiman Arya Stealth and i think i am set for open back for the near future.
Not quite satisfied with my current choice of closed backs (need to have one otherwise wife complains) and will probably be expanding my collection...
I've narrowed down my choices to these 4:
Audeze LCD-XC 2021 version
DCA Aeon 2 Noire
Sony MDR-Z1R
Sennheiser HD820
I am a music whore, but i am mostly fond of string instruments and electronic music. I play games on the regular and huge soundstage is not a must but is appreciated but fairly precise spatial queues are needed (good instrument placement as they say).
I do not EQ often but i can if its a horrible stock experience.
Got all the amps and dacs i would ever need so sources aren't an issue.
Gathering some poll data and welcome feedback on the choices.
