I’ll demo it against my Nutopia this week. It will have to be something special to knock over the Nutopia though.

thinking about changing my Nutopia to the LCD5 Anyone compare the two and like the LCD5 better ? I’m after an only one TOTL all rounder. Rock/pop / heavy rock and singer / songwriter simple acoustic is my music style. I fear the Nutopia is very , very good. But the LCD5 is better still.

I agree with you on that. The dCS Lina was also a disappointment for me. My dealer raves about it and it left me feeling luke warm at best. Considering the insane pricing of the stack, I was very let down. But that could also well have been the Susvara they had as the HP pairing.

Agree, it’s just an OK all in one unit, and that’s all it is. It’s nothing special or great for the $$$$ and it’s very expensive for what it is. In my opinion and for my taste my Innuos Zen Mini/LPS/Mojo2/GSX-mini are far superior for about $2,000 more. As NAIM is a very expensive brand here...

I’m sure Danacable is superb. I’m after something less expensive, Moon Audio Dragon seems great too by all accounts. Not sure if Silver Dragon will be too much of a good thing treble wise with Utopia though and Black Dragon is the safer option.

What after market XLR cable are a good match for the 2022 Utopia ? I’m just running in a brand new one, have 30 hours on it now. It sounds amazing already over the OG Utopia that I sold for this. The stock cable is different too, not sure if it’s better or not than the OG version. I had a...

I had a demo yesterday of the 2022 Utopia vs my 2020 version. I also took in my GSX-Mini and Mojo2 for a more realistic comparison. * The 2022 version seemed to fit a little bit better on my head, a bit more comfortable. * A bit more defined bass, not more punchy, just more real and defined *...

Thanks. Looking forward to your thoughts on them both.

May I ask what cable it is ? I have a Wireworld Pulse, but I think that I could do better…..

Anyone gone from a 2020 or OG Utopia to the D8000 Pro and thought it was a definite upgrade ? Or is it perhaps more of a side grade…. My music is 90% pop, rock, heavy metal, punk, Americana.

Thanks, I’ll have to have an in store demo soon. I have the DACT volume control version, so I’ll need to check the volume range l, if it’s enough etc

Would the GSX-Mini power the Susvara well enough ?

Thanks for that. My GSX-Mini has about 100 hours on it now. And I noticed that the Utopia has really hit its straps impact and slam wise now. It’s intoxicating TBH, I’ll take my GSX-Mini into my local store and compare the Utopia , LCD 5 and D8000 Pro.

I am thinking seriously about getting the D8000pro (again). Currently have a 2020 Utopia, is the GSX-Mini a good amp for the D8KPro ? A bit annoyed at still no XLR cable provided with the Pro, unless I go for the Ltd. Edition. That does look interesting - noting the insane price Final charge...

Is the GSX-Mini a good match for Caldera ? I’m looking at another HP to either supplement or replace my 2020 Utopia. TBH I don’t find the Utopia metallic or bright, it’s just about a perfect tuning/match for me with the GSX-Mini. Just wondering what the Caldera will bring to the table over the...

Thank you, I’ll have to save up and grab myself a QUTEST soon then. I’m intrigued now as to how it will sound against my Mojo2. My memory is not so reliable as to the sound signature, and it was with a different headphone anyway.

Anyone compare the Qutest against Mojo 2 and feel the Mojo 2 is close enough to not bother with the Qutest ? I have a Mojo 2 and can’t compare the two in my area due to lack of a dealer network. I would have to purchase a Qutest blind. My system is in my Signature, I just got a GSX-Mini and I...

Add the GSX-Mini to your demo. list. I also have a 2020 Utopia and I’m just burning in a brand new one now. It’s a lovely amp. and a great match to the 2020 Utopia at this early stage of comparison to my existing ifi PRO iCAN Sig. The ifi may well be for sale in a weeks time. And I rate the...

Had anyone compared Mojo 2 against the QUTEST ? I can’t compare the two due to non existent dealers anywhere near me & have to buy all Chord via an online dealer. I have a Mojo 2 now & use it strictly as a desktop DAC. It sounds very good & the DSP feature is amazing. I use a 125 hz bass shelf...

Deposit paid for GSX-Mini, waiting dealer delivery next week sometime.

I have a 2020 Utopia & Ifi Pro iCAN Signature, Chord Mojo2 with a 125 hz bass shelf of +3 db. I’m unsure if the Ifi is a good match or not with the Utopia. Thinking really hard about a switch to the GSX-Mini to get that little bit of extra detail and punch that others have found with the...

Disregard, I’ve added + 3 on the yellow (125hz Bass shelf) only and the Utopia is now a monster headphone. Love it !

I have just got my Mojo 2 & using a Utopia 2020 into Ifi iCAN Pro Signature. Any DSP settings that are recommended ? A few say -1 on Green and +1 on Yellow ? I had a look at Chrono setting on the Headphones.com link. His looked pretty aggressive at -/+ 3 or 4 db on all of them and not exactly...

Cheers Daniel. I’ll have the in store demo soon then. Kinda need to get off the upgrade round about and just settle for a great an in one I think.

I did ask about GSX- Mini vs Ifi Pro iCAN Sig. How about those two vs Naim Atom HE ? That way the temptation of a DAC upgrade is taken away and it’s a nice all in one package and it’s supposed to be a great match with Utopia.
