HiFiMAN Susvara vs Focal Utopia - Endgame headphone comparison

Resolve compares the Hifiman Susvara & the Focal Utopia on two different sources, the Bakoon AMP-13r and the Headphones.com x Ampsandsound Forge tube amplifier. He of course, only sat down and listened to each headphone on one source each and did no source gear swapping between the headphones as Resolve can only do what is seen on video. He definitely did not swap amps between headphones. If it's not on video, it did not happen!
