Just try to focus on enjoying the shit you already have. What's the point of blowing your life savings on product after product if you only give each of them 30 hours of listening? Saying this as a fellow addict. Find something that meets all of your needs, satisfies at least a couple of your wants, and enjoy it to the fullest before even looking at advertisements for something else. You can make your own decisions ofc, and I'm not saying buying a good product (I own the Focal Clear) isn't worth it, but I've been happiest when I've forgotten to think about whatever else is out there.

Good points, thanks. Especially the point about just using them for a few dozens hours before selling off is too familiar… that happened with lots of my audio gear (and cameras for that matter…). What I use most is what I end up keeping, so maybe I should just call it quits :P

If you do get the Arya's, maybe at least make sure that they fit your sound preferences before ordering, and keep in mind that returns to China are a fucking pain. As someone who's dipped into high-fi a number of times now and kept expecting to suddenly like a type of sound I hadn't previously because "it's x headphone everybody likes it!" or because I thought the resolution would make up for it, it never went as planned.
