Are there any balanced output DAC chips?
Hi all, I am scoping out a project to make a small balanced DAC/AMP for IEMs/headphones. I noticed that all the examples I found (e.g. Moondrop Dawn, River, Fiio KA3) double up on the DACs. Is this simply because there is no single DAC option that can do balanced output? Looking at some...- Firedrops

Difference between 2.5,3.5 and 4.4mm outputs?
Hey there, Is there any real difference that is noticeable between 2.5 and 3.5mm?
