My X2 is simply surprising and much lighter than my planars without any noticeable sonic degradation nor speed of decay.
The thread has told that there is grainy treble, but I could not notice those thing.
Well extended into both high and low with greater comfort.

Now that are few weeks that I'm using them, I can say that are fantastic, just when you have them in your hands and see the details, the care in how they are built... I love them!
the only thing I really don't like it's the stock cable, but it's really a secondary matter that I solved with a new one.

The stock cable should be replaced with a better and shorter.
Any recommendation?

Yeah, I never got any grainy treble from mine either. We're lucky I guess, lol.

I wouldn't describe it as grainy, just accentuated treble that can get grating on certain tracks.

Has anyone tried the X2 with the astro mixamp pro 2013 ? I've been using them for gaming and it seems like im getting a lot of  sibilance with mine , a lot  of  "SSSSS" .  Does anyone have any experience with the astro mixamp ? maybe I need to hit the sweet spot on the amp because so far im not so impressed with the headphone after coming from the sennheiser pc363d ><.
I recently sent my DX100 for repair and I haven't been able to fully test it with music so far. I've just been using it for gaming on the PS4 and PC so far with the mixamp.

Literally any 3.5mm cable.

I use mine with said amp and they work really well.
 
Dolby surround selected correctly in my Xbox one, surround selected on the mixamp using EQ quadrant one (top right) with no sibilance.

I bought mine here http://www.ghentaudio.com/part/d05.html and beside to be better and shorter, it sounds slightly better too.
Ghent that's a member of this community too, can customize it for free (mine has a 3.5 to a side and 6.3 to the other),

Do you mind sharing a photo of ur current setting on ur mixamp ? I assumed you've used the headphones long enough to find it's sweet spot

Top right EQ and surround on

Yes I see but what's the normal driving volume that u use for ur X2 ? I'm sure that's not the volume u use when playing , Im trying to find the perfect volume for them to synergize with the mixamp ^^

Yes that is the volume I use, I like it quite loud.
 
Make sure you have surround set up in the ps4
