All our testing has the Nordost Heimdal 2 as Top Dawg in this arena. Our human listening tests are almost identical on preference. It also comes as a kit to step down to 1/4 & 3.5. So you get all kinds of connectivity in the kit.Haha, went for the Utopia.
I would love to if I was in the States, but being in Canada and near the Vancouver area, Headphone Bar it was!
Although current info from Focal apparently says first week of October until I can have them in my hands
However, I will have an aftermarket cable already waiting for them when they arrive, so that is a good thing! Will be able to run balanced straight out the box. And from there I will probably get the stock cable reterminated and a small chunk of it turned into 1/4 -> 4-pin XLR adapter in case I ever need it!

You did a great thing... Congrats on the Utopia! What cable?
....
So I figured I would look at them for a Utopia cable as well. He suggested the Eternus cable for the Utopia which is a large gauge pure silver cable (4x20awg silver occ litz)....
Waoow!
I too am considering this combo. Will you be using a specific amp out of the Dave
(then which one)
or will you directly connect the Utopia to the Dave?
For my first evening listening, I will start as an appetiser, the single ended hadphone out of the Dave with my HD800S and HEK. I have heard the trios quite extensively at my dealer and think that both headphones are great match, with some bass advantage to the HEK. The main entree will Dave with Ragnarok to see if there is any magic going balanced cables for my cans and also with my KEF LS50/sub speaker set up. The Utopia will then join in as desert for a sweet roundup. Hahaha, salivating as I type. :tongue_smile:
Which sub do you use with the LS50's, I have LS50's in my home office and was thinking of adding a sub? Thanks
jl audio's E-subs are a great buy as they have true crossovers in them, not just low pass filters. After a lot of demoing I settled on 2 JL E112s to use in my system. They are about 95% of the fathom's sound quality at 1/2 the price.
