Good to know. What about it specifically, and have you tried any other options? Thanks
also recommend Nordost Hemdall II, with my OG give more weight and vibrate to low and smooth little bit high with more detail and soundstageWhat's everyone's favorite cable for '22 Utopia? It has become my favorite headphone and I'd like to buy something nice for it.

Brise audio and danacables have specific cables designed for utopias.
I second the Heimdall 2. Nordost cables are very, very quiet, like removing a layer of grey hash. Smoothness and clarity.What's everyone's favorite cable for '22 Utopia? It has become my favorite headphone and I'd like to buy something nice for it.
If you are willing to ignore the cost, Transparent ultra is the most balanced and excellent quality headphone cable I have tried so far on UTOPIA 2022 (personal preference)
PS: I have tried Transparent ultra, Tara labs The Omega Live, HanSound DANTA, Toxic cables BW22, Siltech Duchess Crown, Cardas Clear Beyond and other well-known local headphone cables.

Anyone looking to trade their Utopia 2022 for DCA Stealth? We can go over details. Please PM me. Take care.

I've never been able to successfully identify improvements from high priced cables in a blind A-B test so I go for looks and cable features instead. I'm a big fan of light flexible cables for the slightly heavier Utopia and went with a black(left) and red(right) blend from OIDIO that matches the black and red aesthetic of the 2022 Utopia.What's everyone's favorite cable for '22 Utopia?

It was around £150/$190 after customizations: https://oidiosound.co.uk/headphone-cables/focal/utopia

Thank you for the level headed and informed post. I just ordered one.
I hava been using Hart audio modular cables with mine. I do hear some differences with different cables, but it's very minor, and I love the convenience of modular cables. Whenever I get a new headphone, Hart audio gets another order from me. I was using another modular cable system, but Hart audio was the only one I found that was selling modular cables with Lemo connectors, so Utopia 2022 got me to switch over the entire cable system.

the comparison feels incomplete without the caldera, which rivalled the elite for his affection

I currently have both Silver Dragon and Lavri Grand but they are not terminated for the Utopia. Silver Dragon is now with 3.5mm (Susvara) and Lavri is Mini XLR (ZMF). Now I don't really use both of them and thinking about re-terminating them for the Utopia.
I think if I want more air I should go with the Lavri and if I want more sub-bass, I go with the Silver Dragon... do you agree?
The more I listen to Dana Rhapsody... I more I dislike it. Don't know why so many people praise it but it simply doesn't go well with my setup. Will put it on sale very soon.
