Would you hope to buy the Utopia’s someday ?? I’ve wanted to own a Focal headphone & considered them for a long time - I think I was swayed by budget, with the HD800S.

I do think that they can sound great, with well produced recordings, but I do why you would come to your conclusions. Did you have chance to listen very long ?
I will definitely consider focal, sennheiser is not anymore what they used to be.

I'm he 800S felt in my hand flimsy - like a cgeap toy that would break if you sit on them.

The utopia scream luxury and craftsmanship, rhey are heavy but very comfortable

I recently discovered how to change the volume on this Sony DMP when you are using a Bluetooth headphone or speaker m.

On the top of the screen below where is the Bluetooth cause it appears (where the audio codec sample rate bit depth usually appears when you are using wired cut phones) below there is a part with a plus an amino's button, besides with the label volume

Try going into the Headphones Connect app and on the Sound options set it to Prioritize sound quality.

Please keep us informed regarding DMP-Z1 + utopia OG, I am very curious...

You confirm utopia OG is the version of 20022 ?
I am loving my utopia 2020.

Very clean fine vass, with a nice punch without bloat. Nice mids and airy silky highs. And a huge soundstage, nice top-tier layering and separation.

I placed an oder for DHC triple threat adapter from Z1R dual 3.5 tofocal lemo, ro use my lavrucanles Grand silver cable on the utopia

Why don't you use symetric output 4.4mm ? Thé sound with 4.4 mm si better than asymetric output 3.5 mm

If the DMP-Z1 is your main rig, best to go with the 4.4 termination.
Yes i know, i'm just waiting's for two things:


A) For my DHC triple threat adapters for Z1R -> Utopia lemo.

B) for my Lavricables Grand to be repaired
