I think I want to buy a little dot MK VII+ balanced amp with a single 4pin XLR balanced output.

What is the best "cheap" cable for an HD600 for that?

I saw a 99$ cable on headroom but it had 2x 3pin XLR..

is that better or worse?

Then just buy a XLR 4pin connector and reterminate your stock cable. Cheapest way you can do.

than what?

 

[lordsegan]

Is two 3-pin connectors better than one 4 pin connector?

Technically, both of them are the same.

Practically, 3-pins are worse.

I need a cable to 4-pin XLR for my HD650 too.. what options/models should I considered?

Reterminate is fine. I did not have the HD650 cable and used Mogami microphone cable, soldering directly to the binding posts behind the grill of my HD650 an terminating to 4 pin. These can be purchased for about $15-20 shipped from Markertek or similar.

So wait, if I reterminate the stock cable with xlr ending, I get all the pro's of balanced operation?

If you're powering it with a balanced amp, then I suppose you would.

And balanced DAC for full benefit.
