I'm not the OP but I am the purchaser, it's no longer available. The title also shows closed. Great unit though, good luck finding one!- scottcocoabeach

Focal earpad cleaning
Yes, it disappointing, especially when the pads themselves were fine. If other Utopia owners see this thread I recommend periodically checking this as you don't want any damage to occur by having any of this make its way into the drivers.- scottcocoabeach

Focal earpad cleaning
I recently purchased used Utopias and the plastic is disintegrating. From the above post I originally thought it was the adhesive being used, but now that I have experienced it myself it’s the plastic. I used Blu Tack to remove any residue from the headphones and ordered new pads. If you’ve...- scottcocoabeach

Looking for high end closed back.
I'd see if you can find used Focal Stellias for around $2k grab them, or take a look at the Focal Radiance. I had the Celleste's and returned them. They have a very narrow sound stage. You can find more information going back a few pages on the Stellia thread where I summarized a lot of...- scottcocoabeach

Focal earpad cleaning
This is an old thread that I found a google search. I wanted to add to it in case anyone else comes across it. It looks like an adhesive used in the construction of the pads is water soluble. I would not recommend to anyone that they submerge the pads to clean them and I wouldn't repeat it for...- scottcocoabeach

Focal Stellia Review, Measurements, Interview - Head-Fi TV
I'm just a few days in with the Lyr 3, it's a major improvement over the Lyr 2. I wasn't blown away by the factory tube, although it needs more burn in time. I got a Westinghouse tube in, and have probably a little over 24 hours of time running it in, and it sounds fantastic so far - major...- scottcocoabeach

Focal Stellia Review, Measurements, Interview - Head-Fi TV
Yep, and thank you! The Radiance are a great headphone and I would rank them second after the Stellia's in Focal's closed back lineup. I had the Celestee's and returned them due to the narrow sound stage. I think the Radiance get overlooked somewhat due to the co-branding with Bentley, I know at...- scottcocoabeach

Focal Stellia Review, Measurements, Interview - Head-Fi TV
I purchased my Stellias about a month ago and read this entire thread recently. I've been using the Focal Elears and Elegia for quite a while and hadn't kept up much with some of the newer products available. The Stellias are a game changer. I can't wait to get time in the evenings to listen to...- scottcocoabeach

Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread
Congrats on getting the Qutest. That seems like a strange problem, have you tried rebooting the PI with everything connected first? I sometimes need a reboot a device to get Roon to see my endpoints, especially if I updated or restarted the core.- scottcocoabeach

Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread
Congratulations! If you are replacing your RME ADI-2 Dac than it's not your first external DAC. :scream: Maybe you mean you weren't using the RME with a separate AMP? I think a lot of us here use the RME as an external DAC. The built in amplifier is okay but certainly not at the level of most...- scottcocoabeach

Focal Celestee (New Closed-Back Headphone)
I recently purchased the Celestee and ended up returning them. I found the sound stage to be too narrow to be able to enjoy them. They are technically very capable, but I couldn’t get past the feeling of listening to music in a hallway. I have the focal Stellias for comparison and they are in...- scottcocoabeach

1964 Ears Adel IEMs
I totally agree with your A12 vs A10 (U10 in my case) comparison. I did find I needed foam tips to tame the treble on my U10's. I don't find my U6's to be harsh at all, they are easy for me to listen to with no fatigue. I like the U10 and U6 better than the A12's.- scottcocoabeach

1964 Ears Adel IEMs
There is no U5 - it has been off the 64audio site for a week or two now (unless you can find one used). My recommendation under 1k would be for the U6.- scottcocoabeach
