Magnificent. The Utopia 2022 is amazing with Hans Zimmer.
The Utopia benefits from being driven properly. Adding the Cayin C9 added that extra dynamic punchiness.
A portable set-up doesn't get much better than this. Waiting for the Norne Audio balanced Vykari cable...
There's a lovely rich warmth. An intimate soundstage, as if you're sitting in front of a two channel setup in an acoustic room. More musical than the original Utopia. Less bright in those mids but the treble extension is still there.
2Go/Hugo2 with slight cross-feed to the Cayin C9 in Class A / Tube mode seems to be my current preference.
Very happy here. I think Utopia knocked the LCD-5 off my 'to go to' perch.
