    I'm thinking of that too. The hype on the Utopia is quite high, and likewise, when I was at the Chord Hugo II threads, many of our fellow members strongly defend Hugo II, and the advertising at Chord website also said it's the best DAC in the world. The way they said it, is no difference than...

    I finally have the chance to do A-B test, comparing the Focal Utopia vs. Signature Pro from Ultrasone. I compare 4 songs in 2 CD. My DAC is the Sony PHA-3. There is absolutely no difference on female / male vocal and background music. First 3 songs is Celine Dion, comparing the vocal and...

    I love to. In particular an A-B test compares to the Sony PHA-3 that I own. There is no dealer in town, and this is a special order item, so how do you guys get a trial test on the unit?

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Hugo TT2 is desktop application. For desktop, you could go with dCS as 1 of the best DAC in the world (it's a lot of $ though). I am using the Sony DAC PHA-3, 1 thing like this guy is that it still has an old audio 3.5mm jack as I have a lot of songs in MD and HiMD. Too bad Hugo 2 doesn't...

    Is "Cryo' ED 78K" England treatment really makes a difference on CD , cables etc?

    that article is old. Is the technology from that UK co. the same as that japanese co. back in 1990? and why now? I just saw a bunch of newly release CD that has that "Cryoed in England" blue sticker. but having said that, that article did say there is a difference back in 1990 But today...

    So if they are about the same, who's going to buy Utopia that is several time the price higher? Focal got to justify the huge price difference for some legitimate reasons

    CanJam @ RMAF 2018 Impressions (Oct 5-7, 2018)

    On related question, the video link I post says between high, mid and bass, the high is too sharp on the Utopia. Now, on a pair of floor speaker, Focal uses Beryllium at its tweeters. How does it work w/ a pair of headphone? Does it still have high, mid & bass as 3 separate speaker inside...

    I would love to. There is no demo I can get a hold of in my city. I own the Ultrasone Signature Pro though, and I'm very happy w/ the sound quality. Would you say Utopia is noticeably better?

    since so many of you are talking about Focal, this review was saying that the ear cup feels like plastic, so for a $4K Utopia, that guy said it shouldn't feel so cheap. The models at the show, such as the Clear, are they build the same way?

    I look closely at this vs. Focal Utopia. A fellow member sent me a link on portable carrying case. The Focal box is too big. And I only use it for portable. Knowing that, I am willing to get the Focal w/ a 3rd party carrying case (in which Focal is not foldable) than this headphone. I have...
