If not for the black jacks, I would agree, but IMO it ruins it.

Justin, any chance we can see what the front panels for the power supply will look like?

Because I don't know anything about what's involved in building headphone amps, [ or anything to do with audio ] I asked Justin whether it was possible to have standard headphone sockets  [ like on the GS- 1 ] along with the 4 pin XLR, instead of the dual 3 pin / standard headphone sockets. Justin said it's not possible to make that kind of alteration.

Possible when - now?  How would that look?

Anything is possible if one you are willing to wait and two pony up the price difference.  My GS-X has a 10K DACT instead of the default 50K.  Wasn't a free side grade though.

Sorry but I haven't got my brain in gear today, forgot the word not in my original post.

Advantages are theoretical and the cost was $200.  On paper there should be less noise pickup and a larger bandwidth.

Is there a finer gradation in the attenuation?  The only attenuator I could find at DACT was the CT2-10k  which is apparently the one you have.  It indicates a 0.5 db per step.  I don't think I'd want something with a more coarse adjustment.

Maybe Justin could weigh-in on this?
