Shout out to Moon Audio
Well, their stock cable is $15-$20 for 3 meters so it can't be a great quality one. I amazing how both the HD 650 and HD 600 sound good with such a cable. Changing for a better cable gives a hudge improvment, and my humble opinion is that the Moon Gold works great with the HD650 and is still...- 495045

Hi Nick, I'm in France and from all I know, the only way to buy a danacable Lazuli is to order it from the US. Or find a used on which is Mission : Impossible :triportsad:- 495045

Great. I might be wrong becaise it's late here but I haven't seen any focal terminaison available. So I'd still favor Ted even if I think Norme is worth consideration and is in my short list.- 495045

Yep, months, sorry. Anyway, I haven't made a lot of errors as all my posts are deleted "off topic even when I answer a question" and don't know why off topic.Speaking of head amps and DACs and how they would or not match with can is right in the topic.

That' why I had it upograded by audicom. Regarding DAC's cheaps, some may like better one brand, but they are worth only a few bucks and what really matters, IMHO, is the way they are implemented and most off all our taste (our hears first). Also, chips possibility double every 12-18 years...- 495045

You're right, have just checked mo OPPO and found I've lost the antenna. What made me change is that it is a DAC + Head Amp. When I bought my direcstream combo, the new DAC was ways ahead so I had to improve the head amp. Now I have to find an antenna for a discontinued Oppo :triportsad:- 495045

No longer : I upgraded (IMHO) the Burson 2+ to the OPPO HA-1 AUDIOCOM MODIFIED (I agree the upgrade is only for Hi-Rez and that the Burson 2+ is superior to the standard model of the HA-1). Then upgraded the HA-1 modified to a Moon 430HA. Choose it because it doen't includes a DAC ( why would I...- 495045

It's OK but the Burson is one step beyond the Utopia so you'll lose part of it's potential- 495045

You're 100% right. But the price in France is very high : $7015. And there is one thing I don't like : The complete version in France is over 10K. So even with their "discount", the Abyss Phi costs $9500 minimum in France to get the max quality :triportsad:- 495045

Thanx for the page. I wish I'd have 2 hands and your skills. Very hard to get a new utopia in France for 3500€ (price displayed is 3999€). 3500€ = $4100. At $3000, I would consider it is as a much better deal. I think it has a lot of potential but not easy the fong the good matches.- 495045

But I've never because I disagree with a post about an equipment. It was not inflammatory, just a few words to describe what I considere the utopia to be considering its price.

How lucky you are to have managed to sold them.
