You can only get them from Sean in Singapore. It is not a company but one very nice person, and he makes them on demand. I ordered 3 times in the past and never had a problem. However, my latest order was shipped 3 weeks ago and is still not here, but that might be related to the current situation.

I second this. He made me converters for ZMF to Focal Utopia; tooK forever to get to me but most definitely worth the wait. Goes by Affinity cables on Ebay.
Stellia, yes. Not sure about the Utopia... that was the going rate a couple of months ago (unfortunately also when I sold) but lately … not at all. I got mine new now again, and am very happy. Should never let have go of them. Stellia and Utopia are for classical music lovers all what you need.
There is a utopia for 2100 in the classifieds now, and I recently saw two for around 2k in my local eBay. Dealers selling off trade-ins and demo models. Maybe because of the upcoming packaging refresh. In which case it is indeed temporary.

Well, apparently the “new” packaging is adding about $400 to the cost. Hey, just what I need; more packaging with all the crap that goes with it to store. Bonfire, anyone?

More rounded. Where I find the Utopia a bit too expressive the Stellia are more controlled and restrained ... but manage to express the music as I like it. The only way os to try them both but obviously my impression is based out of the TT2 which will add it's own take on affairs no matter how neutral. My view is that the Stellia is a tighter Utopia. Not as expressive but an easier listen in many ways without losing the real sound and signature of the Utopia which sits on my amp with the Stellia despite having numerous headphpne options to try.

Thanks for those impressions. I think of Sennheiser's has a "rounded" brand. That they're good across the musical spectrum and i'm thinking from your description that the Stellia's take it to another level ?? As you indicate the source is always important.
If i do decide to buy another headphone, the Stellia's are what i keep coming back to.
I am lookin to get out of my Schtit Mjolnir2/Bifrost 2 setup and go with either an all in one solution or just a solid state amp. Really sucks living in the middle of Canada with no demo units anywhere. @KPzypher has made a lot of recommendations - what are some of you using as well? Looking for as much warmth as possible while keeping the soundstage.
I've had the Stellia about 2 weeks now, running almost constantly from a Chord Hugo TT2. 2 weeks and wow ! I also have Utopia's which I bought a couple of years ago ... but am preferring the Stellia ! Not huge differences but enough for me to prefer the Stellia. I was not expecting to like them more than the Utopia but I am.
Me too! Can't use Utopia around people. I found Stellia's bass is a bit over powering than Utopia but it is fun to listen to. I have it since it was announced and I am still loving it. It is my everyday headphone.
I only have two headphones - Stellias and Stax 009S as i prefer different presentations. I presume both Stellia and Utopia to have a similar house sound?
