    Comment by 'analoggrotto' on listing 'Matrix Audio Element X New with Grado SR325x'

    The X2 is a new style TRRS balanced output which is unlike the typical 4 pin XLR employed for balanced headphones and featured on the X. X2 does not use a microSD which the X has, and I consider this a significant deficiency for the new model. This is a very nice deal.

    Grado Hemp Edition owner here, I love the sound but that cable is jus too heavy and unruly, so I'm going to recable it at some point but I've recently gone back to speakers and such.

    Schiit Bifrost Uber Analog Upgrade

    This is great. A good upgrade to buy me some time before trying to go full balanced; just when I was wondering if this was ever going to happen. I wonder if this will put it in front of my XA5400ES for redbook.
