Hi guys,

 

I have a mini matrix balanced DAC, little dot mk VII, silver xlr interconnects and a HD 600 with stock cable. I wanna go balanced with my setup. The thing is the little dot mk VII have the single ended 1/4 jack and the xlr 4 pin jack, anyone knows if it's possible to go balanced just by using the

1) 1/4 jack with stock cable

 2) with a newly puchased balanced cable like the morigami cables but with a 1/4 plug?  

3) a xlr balanced cable.

4) a balanced cable with a 1/4 plug and a xlr adapter connected towards the xlr 4 pin jack on the little dot mk VII

5) a reterminated stock cable with a neutrik XLR plug 

 

i know it's a little confusing, help and advises are deeply appreciated!

Im confused.
 
You have 2 options, nice and easy. 
 
1: cut the plug off of the stock cable and attach the appropriate connector (4-pin XLR) 
 
2: buy a new cable with the connector already on it.

oh so my headphones would be balanced as long as i have a xlr plug?????

Yes, as long as all of the connections are "broken out" correctly. 
 
There is never a real mod done to the drivers of headphones to make them balanced, its just the cables.
