Take the Moondrop Aria unless you need support & warranty.
The Nothing Ear (a) scores highest at 7.6, but it costs 19,10 € more than the Moondrop Aria, which scores 7.1. That premium buys you support & warranty — 3.6 points of it. Worth it if LDAC on a budget describes you; otherwise it is money you keep. Watch out for paint chips and wears at the nozzle on the Moondrop Aria.
