I was. Until I did. Perhaps it's like MSG. But then I listen to an interconnect or cable totally blind to what it is (especially if sheathed) and it's cost - and can describe how it changes the sound consistent with the chap across the room who handed it to me who is familiar with it. It's like the Chord filters. You either can hear the difference. Or you can't. It's subtle in some cases and not in others. I put cable debates into the evangelism category -> If you believe, great. If not, you've saved a whole heap of money and time.
On topic - mids on the Utopia 2022 are better balanced and rounded. I much prefer it over the Utopia OG. I found I had to pair the Danacable LR + to mitigate the brightness and add that lower mid body on the OG which the Utopia 2022 does better. It comes down to personal preference - do you prefer slightly bright, upper mid forward and energetic or would you prefer the sound a tad more balanced with more lower mid weight and warmth. The tuning difference isn't night and day.
The Utopia 2022 on the right source is well in A+ / S tier.
Having listened that little bit more - Utopia has never been faulted on dynamics as far as I can recall. The 2022 is no different and I've listened to everything from classical, Haliene, Lady Antebellum and trance in the last half an hour.
