USB-C is the best choice?

Whether or not you will always hear the difference is another thing entirely, though 100% this. A lot of people get caught up in the technical aspects and what I consider largely marketing hype of lossless audio. I sure as hell cannot tell the difference between wired and a good Bluetooth setup even

Good rock albums for audiophiles

Wilco - Whole Love … sounds phenomenal on my focal utopias. New Bon Iver songs - Speyside and Day One.

My two open back sets

I own the Utopia 2022 and the Clear og. But I think im going to unload the clear og because I would grab the Utopia if I want that sound. The other headphone I own is the E3 which is very different than the focal.

Fones de ouvido me entregam 50-70% da experiência sonora de uma boa caixa acústica, independente da qualidade, na minha humilde opinião

Bom. A conversa era sobre sistema Top. Extremamente compentente é outra conversa.E aí comparando com fones, caímos na mesma conversa. Da pra ter um fone competente com bem menos do que uma caixa. Um AirPods Pro 2 já é muito competente. Mas nunca será top. Se pegar a linha 800 da b&w, utopia da focal

I'm thinking this is Endgame for me......

I have the 2022 Focal Utopia.Sounds a bit harsh with my RME ADI-2. Next big purchase (if not just different headphones) would probably be a tube amp.

New Sub Day!

Thanks! In the circle are controls for switching on Subsonic mode (For use with Turntable's), Night mode (adds compression to not resonate outside the room and lowers volume) and a 3db 40hz boost for use with movies. I have the Focal Elegia aswell and agree that they have a very strange frequency re

Headphones for classical music under €500

My first proper open back headphones were HD660s and I was super excited to try them after seeing rave reviews about the clarity and detail for classical music. I very quickly found that I didn't enjoy them at all. I instead ended up looking at Focal headphones as I remembered trying the Focal Utopi

Get some headphones or some damn good speakers!

To be fair, I do my proper listening on Focal Utopia 2022 headphones + Woo WA7 tube amp + K11 R2R DAC with clean power, galvanic isolation, quality interconnects, and 24bit files - and It sounds genuinely mind-blowing... But I listen to it all the time just off my iPhone speaker while making dinner

HE1000SE really all that bad?

HEKse is a winner headphone, competes pretty fine against Focal Utopia, Meze Elite, ZMF Caldera and others. Also the newer black cable revision is tuned warmer and closer to Susvara, is still bright in treble, but very well controlled and balanced, overall a really pleasant listening experience with

Just bought an AE-9 and wondering if I made the right decision

Honestly if you still have the C200 it's not worth upgrading. There was a point in time when I was wasting money on products that maybe improved things 1% to 5% over the others in some aspects but it wasn't worth it. I've tested even the Focal Utopia and the HiFiMAN Susvara on a SMSL DL200 and they
