You are getting two cables in the deal.

  Finally got some Utopia's, initial impressions are very positive. I am having some balanced cables made up, using DHC's last and greatest, the Prion4S. That will enable me to plug them directly into the amps instead of having to use the not so elegant adapter system currently.
 
They fit nicely into the rest of my Headphone collection and I am sure in time will carve out there own spot. Haven't tried them with any solid state amps yet but will do tomorrow.

From a triodes lover, will be interesting to read your return pairing the Utopia to an SS amp.

Great pictures of your Utopia and your system.

LoL the A$5,500 headphone is probably the cheapest component in the entire setup

I stopped by The Source AV after work about a month ago in order to try out the Elear. I absolutely loved how fun the Elear sounded that I almost bought it, my mistake was trying on the Utopia. All I have to say is wow, not as much punch but everything about it just sounded right. Not sure who will hate me more, my wife or my wallet....

A news media from South Korea reported that the Samsung's takeover of Focal is almost confirmed and going to happen very soon. It reported that Samsung will pay for it about 300 million dollars.
