[FiiO]

​

Most traditional balanced desktop audio equipment utilizes the XLR 4-pin connector, while some newer audiophile equipment employs the 4.4mm balanced connector, which leads to incompatibility between new and old equipment. Here, the LX-4.4MM is designed to help solve this problem.

(1) Standard connectors for great reliability
The LX-4.4M acts as your HiFi relay by converting between the standard XLR 4 pin and 4.4mm balanced connectors.

(2) Achieve a HiFi sound with guaranteed build quality
· The FiiO LX-4.4M internal wiring is insulated, for greater reliability

· The FiiO LX-4.4M features a metal shell, for increased rigidity and a luxurious feel

· The FiiO LX-4.4M utilizes gold-plated pins for the XLR connector, for greater reliability and longevity

I’d love to order one but I made an AliExpress account and it was immediately suspended. Great.

good price point
there is one from ddHifi but at a much higher price

Great innovation! About time somebody got around to developing a decent-quality standalone adapter!
Makes my own adapter cables a bit redundant, but no objections from me! lol

Not sure if this is the same one that's included with the FT3 headphone, but on that one the XLR side feels mushy when you push it into a socket and doesn't click in. It's easy to pull out and wobbles around on all 3 of the amplifiers I plugged it into. The 4.4mm connection feels very solid though. I would recommend it still at this price, but don't expect it to click and lock in place like a Neutrik.
It can be hard to find adapters that don't have a cable in the middle, so it's good to see one from a reliable company made available.

Oh no, that's a shame if so.
I'm going to order one so I should be able to verify that claim.
Will be a real shame if it transpires the fit is poor compared to Neutrik.
Neutrik XLR's are 'the daddy' in terms of build quality imo.

Since some of your amplifiers (the ones listed at https://ifi-audio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/iFi-audio-xCAN-S_BAL-Tech-Note.pdf and the Uno, at least), use S-balanced outputs that work with 3.5mm TRRS and 3.5mm PRO, I suggest that you should provide a 4.4mm to 3.5mm TRRS or 3.5mm PRO adapter as well.
(Edit: As noted by Dixter, I mistakenly conflated Fiio and iFi. Apologies to all for that.)

Cool to see them release this separately

different companies... Fiio and ifi are not the same companies.... the S stands for single ended...

Wish they use higher grade connectors to maximize signal transfer. Still a great deal for the price.

Yes, I am sorry for my confusion about the companies. Concerning the "S," I recommend reading the white paper in my original post for the whole story. The S-balanced set up can be used with TRS and TRRS connectors, which is unusual.

if i had a girlfriend, i would gift her one of these

 

[sup27606]

Good idea. Just ordered one. I have one for 2.5 mm from DROP. It's always handy to have an adapter like this that I can just leave on my amp. Makes it easier to plug in headphone cables.

I looked into the " S " balanced when they first announced it... they made it sound like it was a balanced design, but its not... but it does sound good so no worries...
