I had the focal clear OG and the Arya Stealth, but hifiman is superior to my ears. Arya aren't necessarily endgame as hifiman release headphones none stop. So the upgrade/sidegrade is a normal thing. That's why i said hd600 is endgame. Since 1997 Sennheiser released 2 other models ( 650 & 660s ) in the 6 series. So i'm good for a long time with it.

It is very versatile and powerful ( balanced 4.4mm ). I run the HD600 flawlessly with the BTR7. I run my IEMs on it too. It depends on what you're doing while listening to music. If you are stationary, i suggest you get a desktop DAC/AMP.

Depending on how far you are in your journey, after 20 years in this hobby i still roll gear. But the hd600 is so soft, clear, and calm, it checks those criteria of my want list. (I don't like the elevated upper bass/low mids on the hd650)

I listen to classical music - punk rock - metal mostly. I prefer a brighter set which leads me to Arya vs HD800s. I prefer to have a good amount of bass. HD 800s failed to give me the weight i desire. I ended up with the Arya. Try multiple company keep the one you like the most. I'm not you, we don't like the same thing or aspect of a song.
