Focal Utopia Headphone Cable

What are you looking for the cable to do for you?

The stock cord is too short. I need at least 16'. So, if I need to buy a cord anyway, I'd like to improve on the sound of the stock unit, if possible. I saw an ad for an Axios cable yesterday, I think made by Kimber.

You will get a wide range of feedback on the two Focal Utopia threads over at HeadFi.org

I went with the DanaCables Lazuli Reference and absolutely love it. My setup of the Schiit Yggdrasil - HeadAmp GS-X MkII paired with the Focal Utopia was slightly bright with some recordings (to my ears and preferences) and I wanted to use all copper in the cable I went with. The Lazuli Ref is pricey but, in my opinion and for my preferences, was a perfect pairing with the Utopias.

That's a long length and will be correspondingly pricey if you go with some of the higher end options.

Even the Kimber Axios, which some Utopia owners are using with good results, is pricey.

Hope that is helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Just came across a review of the Moon Audio Black Dragon Premium V2 cable paired with the Focal Utopia, by Chris Martens over at Hi-Fi+
