Hi Tom, Thanks for this great review. I personally own Focal Clear MG Professional Open-Back Headphones driven by a RME audio interface. On my first use I was blown away on how confirmable these premium headphones are and continue to be impressed by the quality sound they deliver. I can only imagine how good Focal's Utopia perform paired with appropriate electronics.

The Utopias are not thousands of dollars better than the Clears (which I own). It's the law of diminishing returns at work...

I have the mg clear also, absolutely love them

I love Focal I wish you talked about them more.

Would love to hear your opinion on the HD650 it measures and sounds like a high end headphone at an affordable price.

Hey Tom. I gotta ask. I noticed you’ve got the Pass Labs HPA-1 Amplifier. Did you use it with the Utopia? Must be insanely good.

@thomasmartin2219 5 месяцев назад

Yes, I used the HPA-1 with the Utopia, along with the Naim Uniti Atom headphone edition and the dCS Lina headphone amp. I’m starting reviews of those now. The HPA-1 has its detractors, but I think it has some small magic too. I should note, as I think I mentioned in the review, that the Naim worked well with the Utopia, and is a nice package (includes streamer and dac).

I like your RU-vid reviews.

Great review… might I also suggest you review: ZMF caldera, ZMF atrium, final d8000 pro LE, abyss 1266 phi tc, Mysphere 3.1, Warwick bravura, Hifiman Shang gr la.

@thomasmartin2219 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the ideas!

@aceofspades6667 5 месяцев назад

@@thomasmartin2219 the caldera will give you similar quality capability as the susvara or Utopia but the source gear (Dac and amp) requirements are far lower so all in you can have the absolute best sound chain at a much lower price point.

We have reviews of the Warwick Bravura and Sonoma on The Absolute Sound site.
