as balanced output is generally useless (no audible advantage unless the cable is 10m or longer) it is imho stupid to make that the standard termination.
Ecellent (written) review! Very informative, many details on sound signature, some interesting comparisons in the same price league and some beautiful pics on top of that...
@BartSimpson1976 have you ever heard balanced output yourself? Not that I want to open a can of worms over here (if I did, sorry for that)...but imo (to my ears) it made a huge difference (using Sony XBA-Z5 & MDR-Z7) on my Pono player. I think they chose this termination as it's possible to use a 3,5 mm regular adapter with it...wouldn't be possibe the other way around I guess, as the whole cable has to be balanced to start with.
