3/12/2023 0 Comments Moondrop aria![]() ![]() Moondrop Blessing 2 ($319): The Aria’s tuning and technical performance both move it closer to the presentation of the Blessing 2 though not to the same extent. The Aria has a wider stage and better separation overall, the Starfield is deeper but otherwise, not as organized. The Aria has a slightly more energetic tuning in addition to a sharper transient response, with better detail retrieval and slightly stronger extension. The Starfield has a smoother, more linear treble offering a bit more body and texture. The Starfield’s midrange is just a hint more coherent due to its smoother treble while the Aria offers a slightly sweeter sound, being a bit more articulate. However, it also has appreciably more slam and a bolder rumble. The bass is slower on the Starfield with noticeably lower definition and separation. Moondrop Starfield ($109): The Starfield offers a very slightly more robust and smooth sound than the Aria due to its greater sub-bass presence and less prominent lower-treble. Neither offer outstanding top-end extension, the Aria has a bit more air and a blacker background, in addition, it offers a wider soundstage and sharper imaging. The Aria is more even whilst retaining similar definition, offering more body and texture, it has a bit more fine detail retrieval to my ears too. The IT01 has a crisper, more energetic lower-treble. It has higher separation and definition too. Its tone is more transparent and both body and positioning are more faithful. It sounds more contrasty with a bit more warmth, a more articulate top-end and less body. The IT01 has similar midrange tuning but a noticeably more laid-back vocal range. Yet, it also has noticeably higher driver control so separation and definition are much better despite the increased quantity. It has better bass extension and more quantity, mid-bass especially, providing a punchier, fuller and warmer bass expression. IBasso IT01 ($99): The IT01 offers a more engaging V-shaped sound but with a trick driver that keeps things in control.
