As stated on the thread, i would like to know if anyone can help me with this question. I'm not talking about the sound being balanced, but rather the connections. 
Lets say i order a cable from ALO for hifiman with the connectors for the headphones and a 4 pin xor termination. (this is too pricey, so i think i'll be making my own) and then connect it to a balanced system like the Gungnir and Mjolnir. It would probably be overkill amplification, but would it work without any rewiring inside of the headphone? Thats my question. 
On a side not, anyone mind showing me where to begin to start making my own headphone cables? I have a decent handle on soldering and electronics, but I'm no expert and don't know where to start. 
Thanks to everyone.

Like Currawong said, they are balanced and you only need a balanced cable. Maybe ask on the DIY cable thread? They will probably be of more help.
