Hi,
First : the Matrix Element X is the best dac I have ever heard.
My brother was visiting me last week and when he left I had to pick up his jaw from the floor.
I'm considering buying a new headphones to match my Matrix Element X but I can't decide...
The manual of the element X reads :
"It is advisable to connect with high-impedance headphone for the best sound effect.
If it is connected to a low-impedance and high sensitivity headphone, in order to decrease the noise,
it is advisable to set the gain of headphone AMP at 'LOW' and consider if an impedance cable is needed."
My questions :
- Is 55 ohm high impedance according to your standards ? (the focal clear mg f.i. is 55)
- Can you name some headphone brands and models that match with the element x?
Thank you very much
