Yes. Any post 1975 STAX, DCA planars or Aune AR5000. That's just in that price range. If you mean overall then anything Audeze, DCA, STAX, FiiO, Meze etc. Arya are sibilance cannons that are good only for their soundstage.
>t. owned them
But sold them like a month later since it's a fucking torture device with how sharp the treble is. Got Lambdas instead.

Aune AR5000. Maxwell is also good but keep in mind QC is shit for Audeze's lower end models.
