Upgrade from HifiMan Sundara + Qudelix 5K

Here another example (2.5mm on source side, dual 3.5mm on headphone side)
Tripowin GranVia-Ersatzkabel

different colors are available

Don't know how much money you want to spend for extra cables. Don't expect any sound improvement.
 
I would recommend that you wait which cable comes with your new headphone. If the cable has a 3.5mm source connector (qudelix side) then you can try it with your qudelix.
If it plays loud enough there is no need to buy a 2.5 mm cable.

In one of your posts you said the Hifiman headphone cables are crap. But if you buy another cable the sound will not improve, only the look, feel and haptic will change.

Good idea, but there is no adapter to the Arya. It comes with 6.3 mm.

Easily solved with a cheap 6.3 to 3.5mm adapter.

Then why not buy the balanced cable instead?
I do not see the point, besides the price difference.

See my other post just after

Or even better, just move this cable onto your Arya

I am going to sell my Sundara and but a nice pair of close-back headphones instead.
I do not need to have two pairs of open-back headphones. :)

Yes, but to test if the Q5K can drive your arya from 3.5mm.....

Do you have any good recommendation regarding close-back headphone?
I only need 1 x open-back and 1 x close-back

Why?
I am newbie to this world and needed to know what to listen for . :oops:

Please let me know what that is a good one?
What is your point here?

It's because the Quidelix 5K has been measured here on ASR & it measures well, so that means it will be transparent to your ears (you'll just get unadulterated music as far as the amp is concerned, it won't be coloured in any way) - so that just leaves "does it get loud enough" on the table for you to discover when you listen with you headphone of choice. So it's easy for you to make that assessment, you just plug it in and play - that's why what Jimbob said was funny when you asked if the Quidelix 5K could drive this headphone that you own when you already simply own both already & just need to plug it in and listen & indeed tell us the answer.

Hello Guys,
I have just received my new Hifiman Arya Stealth. They look nice! :cool:

I have som trouble EQ.

When I am typing EQ in Qudelic 5K (USR/SPK 10 bands), it resets when I am typing.
When I am going the next filter, previous filters are deleted/resetted :-(
How can that be?
