Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition
I've had the Atom HE for a month. It's an endgame amp for the Utopia I own, the synergy is a match made in heaven. Got good results with LCD-5 and Susvara as well (which I don't own), although the latter could benefit from a more powerful amp, still I thought it was more than decent with the HE...- kahkityoong

Me too. Although the two are not within the same league in terms of price.- kahkityoong

I find the mini to be a better match with the Utopia due to this issue.- kahkityoong

McIntosh MHA200 Impressions
I’ve never owned a tube amp so I’m particularly keen on dipping my toes. Also had my eye on Woo WA33 but its size is probably impractical for my use.- kahkityoong

Very interested to see how this matches with the Utopia. I’ve held off pulling the trigger on a Niimbus till this was released.- kahkityoong

Focal Utopia General Discussion
After a couple of months the sound suddenly stopped on the right and I feared it was a driver failure. Fortunately it was the cable but annoyingly it still took 5 weeks to be repaired.- kahkityoong

$12000 I’m looking for an endgame amp so price isn’t a big factor.- kahkityoong

Coincidentally I did have a look at them today but prefer to get an amp that I don’t need to ship from overseas. I also had Bakoon r13 on my list but same issue.- kahkityoong

I did audition my Utopia with the WA5 last year but I didn’t find it as versatile with a wide range of music compared with some other amps from phonitor or GSX. Although it certainly was very beautiful with vocals and acoustic instruments. And I did have in mind getting the Susvara in the future...- kahkityoong

I was about to buy one last month and my partner suddenly got very concerned that we were going to be carting it around on our long road trip when she saw it at the store.- kahkityoong

Focal Utopia General Discussion
I’m looking to get a desktop amp for my Utopia. Due to covid, I’m not able to get a demo with the amps I’m interested in around Melbourne. Curious if anyone has compared the Niimbus to the WA33. Since I travel around a lot, the form factor of the Niimbus is more enticing but I’m willing to haul...- kahkityoong
