As many others already chimed in, from the description of that connector it says 2.5mm balanced to 3.5mm stereo. I know that ExtremeAudio, which btw iBasso distributor in US and associated with ProStudio Sound on Amazon which is their authorized seller, used to have 2.5mm balanced to 3.5mm balanced. So, make sure you are looking at the right adapter.
In a nutshell, if you want to keep it balanced, you either go with 3.5mm TRRS (Hifiman wiring, female part of the connector) to 2.5mm TRRS (A&K wiring, male part of the connector going into DX200). Or you get 4pin XLR to 2.5mm TRRS like this:
or 4pin Kubicon to 2.5mm TRRS - Whiplash makes modular cables using 4pin Kubicon balanced wired connectors so they can make one for your.
The key here, once you switch to 3.5mm "stereo" which I interpret as TRS, you are tying grounds together to use with your regular non-balance headphones. To keep it truly balanced, you need to keep 4 wires separate from a source to a target, meaning using only balanced connectors. TRRS - tip ring ring sleeve allows 4 wire connection, TRS - tip ring sleeve ties grounds together to have 3 wire connection.
Thanks this exactly the type im looking for. Looking at ebay for such as custom cables here for xlr4pin to 2.5mm is almost the same price as custom cables for iem. ✌
