MEZE AUDIO ELITE - The New Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone - official thread
I actually went Elite -> Utopia 2022. Will you be keeping both? I think they make a good pairing / counterpoint to one another.- yrstruly

ZMF Verite Closed-New Closed Back ZMF Flagship.
So I received a Verite Silver cable for these and think I might prefer the 2K Copper and maybe even the OFC cable, sonically, on my set up. I perceive improved dynamics and staging however something in the tonality and/or timbre has been thrown ever so slightly off kilter. Interesting! Time to...- yrstruly

Focal Stellia Review, Measurements, Interview - Head-Fi TV
Yeah as fun as the Elegia is (and good value for money) it definitely has a sandpaper-y quality to its timbre- yrstruly

The Closed-Back Headphone Thread (Plus Comparisons & Reviews)
Yes sir that’s the one. It does not sound like the other focal closed backs - strongly recommended. I’m also getting the D9200 again haha- yrstruly

I have only ever heard / owned Sapele and not coincidentally love the VC for heavy music. The weighty decay effect is sort of fundamental to the VC’s sound for me.- yrstruly

Bathys or closed headphones with Mojo 2 (and which headphones match well with Mojo 2 too?)
In terms of sound quality, the Bathys are not going to match what you can get from a Radiance or Celestee-level of closed back when powered from Mojo 2. Let's just say for argument's sake you get roughly 70% of the sound quality - some people are fine with that trade off given the added...- yrstruly

Focal Utopia General Discussion

MEZE AUDIO ELITE - The New Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone - official thread

Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread
You’re quite right. But frankly it’s done more than resolve the issue (in terms of removing the harshness) - the overall sonic improvements make it worth the outlay for me- yrstruly
