I would say I’m happy-ish. The most commonly used combo here is the Nightowl/Qudelix, would honestly be happy just with that for most portable usage. Bose 700s are for work, budget headphones are my beaters, and E50 is in my stereo setup with the 851A.

I sometimes think about selling the Aryas and the P20/Magni/L50 amps because I seem to vastly prefer stereo listening, and so I almost never use them. Still, they’re my favorite headphone of all time, so it would be tough to part with them. Their use case for me is just so limited.
