Does anyone know where I can find a good one? The only place I'm seeing them is on Ebay from China or cheapo Amazon ones. Figured this would be a more common item for people wanting to run their cables through balanced output but not seeing it on any reputable hifi sites.

Never use balanced out of amp with single ended connection.
Do you want to connect balanced headphone with single ended out of amp then you can get such adapter from any cable vendor like Forza, Norne, Hart Audio cable, Periapt
But I hope you don’t want to connect single ended to balanced out of amp as that might blow your amp.

Thanks for the reply! Ah ok, that makes sense. I've seen some adapters for 2.5 and 3.5 mm, but now after doing some more reading and reviewing those adapters, I see that those are TRRS ends so the balanced connection isn't broken.

Yes, TRRS is what you need

Yeah, I was was wanting to use my nice cable with a SE end in the amp balanced out and thought the adapter would "adapt" it to balanced, thx for the info!
