I went by my dealer to have a listen but they didn't have them set up when I arrived, and being that I already bought pair Sopra 2s, I'm not "in the market" and didn't want to to ask them to move everything around.
One thing about my Focals, they are very revealing to the equipment connected. Something as simple as a interconnect swap, power cable change, or even swapping between glass-fiber Toslink and a DH Labs D-750 coax digital cable between my Bluesound Node 2 and Parasound DAC is immediately apparent.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the internal DAC on the Node 2. It's not terrible, but in my system the Parasound ZDAC v2 outperforms it.
