Headphoneus Supremus
My Utopia arrives on Monday. I have auditioned them against my Abyss on my setup before and enjoyed them.
I figured it would be a great compliment. An LCD-4 didn't make sense for me because I feel like my Abyss does what they do better.
The Utopia made sense so that I could have a more reference headphone and heck, it's very comfortable compared to the Abyss.
I'm not saying the Abyss isn't comfortable, it is easily more comfortable than many flagships, but the HD 800 and Utopia edge it out in comfort for me.
The HE-1000 in a way might be considered more comfortable for many, but for me they have a weird way of balancing the weight, and a weird clamp that I don't like compared to the hanging of the Abyss.
The Utopia will also stay on my head in bed, which I plan on doing a bit more once I get them. I do admit I am generally on my computer so the Abyss is fine, but they're not fun to try and keep up (that and the way I have to keep them up generally probably decreases sound quality at least slightly)
I've somewhat been considering a new amp/dac next, but I love my Moon Neo 430HAD -- I am at minimum keeping the amp portion. The DAC might be something to consider, though...
