Stock cushions,I've read about your dave updates with interest,and I do find them very interesting,I would say to you,if you can,get a utopia and use for a few weeks,then go back to your hd800,I think you would find it very hard to keep listening to your hd800,and after all your Dave...

You must have a bad utopia,if it's stop scaling fast,as for the hd800,I've still got mine,and use them for about 2 years with the dave and loved them until I got the utopia,the utopia just sounds REAL. Unfortunately my original utopia diver broke a few months ago,so I went back to the hd800,but...

I've just tried this track for you ,straight from the dave to the new utopia and there is no cracking on it,hope this helps

After, testing lots of cables with my original utopia,the cardas was my cable of choice,and I'm now using it on my 2022 utopia with great results,I really think this is one of the best,if not the best after market cables you can get for your utopia.

My dealer has just been in touch with me about the repair to my old focal utopia right driver,This is a rough estimate,just to have the right driver replaced (£900)To have both replaced (£1500)dont really know how they can just replace 1 driver without it sounding wrong,so I suppose I'd after go...

Unfortunately on Saturday I plugged my utopia into my Chord Dave only to find that the right driver wasn't working anymore,what's more Unfortunately is,I've had them over 5 years,so I'm waiting on my dealer to tell me how much it's gonna cost to get them fixed.So I went back to listening to my...

Guys I'm sorry to disappoint you all,but chords new piece of equipment is going to be a chord fridge,just like the xbox one lol,chill out to those chord sounds,happy Xmas peeps

I'm using the Cardas clear with my utopia at the moment I've also got the Norne Draug 3,plus a few other cables as well.ive tried many different after market cables,including the big names,that many people go on about on here,but the stock cable as always sounded better to me,until I tried the...

After going through loads of aftermarket cables for the utopia,I think I've found one that actually really does sound better that the stock cable.The name of this cable is,Cardas clear. Equipment used:Chord Dave,innuos se,innuos phoenix.

Yes I do,one of the best upgrades I've ever made,you can hear the difference straight away it's magical.

Your be better off,getting the innous Phoenix,you'll never look back.

You guys like your music very loud,,when I use my utopia with the dave it's anywhere from -44 to -35 and that's loud.

Just get the focal utopia,it's brilliant with the Dave. I've got the hd800 as well,but to be honest I never use them now.

If the utopia stock cable was the Heimdall 2,I would never have brought them.Theirs no body to the sound,what soever,one of the most disappointing aftermarket cables I've ever purchased.but I'm glad you like it.

Nordost Heimdall 2

I've got a toxic silver widow for my hd800,I find it really changes the sound alot,some people would love it,and some people would hate it.

Draug copper 3.

Yes I've got the norne draug 3,a beautifully made cable,very light,and it sounds good as well,but not as good as the utopia own cable.

I've gone through alot of different cables with the utopia,using a chord dave,the Nordost was one of the worst cables I tried,it had no body to sound(sounds thin)The best cable I've heard,is the cable that came with the utopia,the big thick python lol,that some people moan about,and yes it...

I've just brought one,I've got the UK version,first impressions are it's very well built.will let you guys know if it improves the sound of my system,that's if any one's interested.

Cables and different transports can alter the sound of any dac,including the dave.

If you've auditioned it,then your own ears have answered your question.

Hi guys, I've just received my Draug 3,9ft cable for my focal utopia headphones.1st of all I'd like to say it looks fantastic,build quality is 1st class.Now I'm a big fan of focal's original cable and I have tried some other well known cables with my utopia,only to be disappointed,but already...

IF you're using the Dave by it's self,then the hf filter should be on,according to Rob.If m- scaled it should be off .

I've just watched z review,and the only thing I agree with him on,is the price of high end headphones.The utopia are the best sounding headphones I've heard with the chord Dave SO FAR.Theirs many reviews of the utopia out their,most are good,but some not so good.Happy Christmas to you all.
