dac1's headphone out as balanced out

[cantsleep]

benchmark dac1 has dual output for headphones.
so if i terminate my headphones with 2 stereo plugs(one for left and one for right) and plug them in accordingly, would this be balanced?

no...people are so imaginative

DAC1 balanced out is excellent with HD650... its a step above all SE amp I have heard under 1k. I am completely satisfied with the sound. unless you are a serous basshead you will really enjoy the sound. oh..I assume you are feeding the DAC1 using a good transport right? DAC1 is not transport immune.

Doubtful!
I don't know the DAC1 that much, but am quite sure its just two regular stereo jacks, hooked together internally. Not separate jacks for left and right side
