The dual XLRs were originally adopted by Headroom, makers of the first balanced headphone amps, to save space on the front panel. They use the Neutrik combo jacks on their amps which accept either a 3 pin XLR or a standard 1/4" connection. By doing this, they can have 2 combo jacks which accommodate either a balanced headphone or two unbalanced headphones. Quote:
I would imagine those are preamp outputs as that is the standard for an XLR output. My CD player has male XLR sockets for its balanced out, and my headphone amp has female XLR sockets on the back for its inputs.
