change the wood backs? LoL
Never! I was leery of getting them modified as I thought I might, one day, sell them.
Thatās awesome!
I picked one up a couple of months ago and Iām really pleased with it. Bit-Perfect performance, and a quality build. Matrix Audio is really making some top-notch products.
If I may, Iād like to suggest picking up one of these for your Qutest to the X-SPDIF 2:

Completely transparent and probably the best/least expensive option for connecting the two. Rob Watts actually recommends TOSLINK for his designs.
Cheers!

Could say the same about Focal?

Focal cables are horrid, yes, but removable. You at least have the option of not using them.

Aye true, but it is strange that manufacturers like Grado and Focal can produce TOTL HPās but canāt make cables for toffee, kinda taking the piss isnāt it

To a lesser degree and, as the man said, they are removable.
I find the Focal ones irritating. I HATE the Grado cable. 
Agreed. Also attached cables are a cardinal sin in this day and age, IMO. And any headphone over 100USD should have the option to run balanced, IMO. Balanced isnāt audibly inherently better, but there are enough individual products that do sound better balanced and manufacturers shouldnāt remove those products as options for their customers.

I totally get what you are saying but there are a couple phrases here that Iāve never heard in my life so I have to assume they are very English.

Focal cables are very easy to replace. They use common connector types that are easy to source and such.

yes i love that, how is that bass boost with those on the Hip?
Very enjoyable for some of the genres that I listen to. It gives the Elegia a nice low end kick for rock / edm. The Elegia is already so strong and clear in the mids that I donāt usually find the bass boost too invasive.
