Hello,
Would there be any point in using balanced connections from DAC > Amp, if I was not using Balanced headphone cable from the balanced output on the amp. eg.
Dac > XLR conection > Amp > Single ended headphone output.
Is this a pointless waste of time and may as well use a normal RCA connection?
Would it only be worth using the Dac > XLR > amp if I was using XLR headphone cable?
I am not going to spend about 500 just to upgrade my headphone cables to balanced, but my DAC has XLR output and I am wondering if I should be looking for an amp with XLR input?
Thanks.
