unbalanced

Hello, i purchased a balanced 4.4mm headphone cable from AliExpress because i thought i would buy a balanced amp for my headphones, but in the meantime i found a really good deal on a tube amp with a single ended configuration. (that doesn't have a 4.4mm output, only 6.35mm) I just got my cable...

Hi guys, Im newbie about this and i have question regarding this. I asked around some say that i may not connect 3.5mm headphone jack using adapter to 4.4mm amplifier output. Some say this might break the equipment by short circuit. Is this true? What is your opinion about this? Edit: Did i...

Good evening all any help would be awesome I have a static and this is due to an unbalanced connection, what balanced cable could you guys recommend for me to use with my Presonus sub 8 and my ifi zen dac v2 below are the two unit outputs: https://postimg.cc/Js8yS5Rk SUB...

Ok guys, quick question looking for hopefully a quick answer. I recently have decided to try to standardize my cables because it'll just be way easier to buy cables, and I've been considering replacing my main desktop amp anyways. However, my issue is my DAC is the Modi 3 which is single-ended...

Hello, I want to get a Hifiman Deva Pro but I am unsure about the cable. Would a standard cable like this work? On the Hifiman page (you have to scroll down a bit), it says it can accommodate a dual-sided unbalanced 3.5mm cable and a single-sided 3.5mm balanced cable. In the same place, it...

Forgive me if this is an inane question, but I am fairly new to IEMs. So, I have an Astell & Kern Kann which I like very much and both Final E5000 and A4000 phones. The cable on the E5000 is clearly superior, but it uses a different connector (MMCX?) to the A4000 (two pin), so I am seriously...

Will there be Hardware Damage if we try to Connect Sennheiser GSX1200 Unbalanced Single-Ended Output to Monolith THX AAA 788 Balanced Input. I have Two Analogue sources with Unbalanced Output. For 2 Analog Inputs on back of THX AAA 788 the RCA Input is taken by one source so will it be fine if I...

Hey all, long time no see. OK I know what you guys are probably thinking (balanced to unbalanced) but hear me out: I have a Cambridge Audio Azur DACMagic which has two outputs - unbalanced RCA, and balanced dual 3-pin XLR. The RCA is in use, going to my main amp which drives my floorstanders. I...

Hello there, I've recently noticed that my left ear is more sensitive than the right one, and I have to use 1-1,5db offset to the right side on my music player for the sound to be in the center of my head. Am I missing anything because of that?

Greetings to the members here. :) Are there members here who have the same problem? About the sound produced more clearly and feels "hard" on the other side than the other side? - Only suggestion? - Perspective ? - Audio source? - Hardware itself? - normal? Chronology: I just bought an ATH...

New product from Hidizs! Concerning the recent amount of different product reviews for this brand is seems that Hidizs is becoming one of the leaders in HiFi industry. Product portfolio grows and covers DAPs for the different budgets, external DAC&AMPs and headphones. This time, instead of...

This may be a dumb question, but I'd rather ask for a second opinion and confirm that no adapter is actually needed. I have headphones with a balanced TRRS socket: Usually, I use a TRRS to 4-pin XLR cable to connect my headphones to a balanced amp. However, my portable amp is single-ended, so...

Hello everyone, I'm new to Head-Fi and also the audiophile community in general. And already I'm lost :sweat_smile: So, I've owned a Fiio X1 with a pair of RHA T10s for a bunch of Years now and I was very pleased with both, but my lovely DAP is nearing its end(Battery life around 1.5 hours...
