Hello everyone,
I'm new to Head-Fi and also the audiophile community in general. And already I'm lost
So, I've owned a Fiio X1 with a pair of RHA T10s for a bunch of Years now and I was very pleased with both, but my lovely DAP is nearing its end(Battery life around 1.5 hours playback) and I just wanted to make a slight upgrade while still not overshooting my budget so I joined the drop of the Aune M1S on Massdrop. This DAP has a 2.5 balanced output and a normal 3.5 unbalanced output and after hours of research I know vaguely how the whole unbalanced versus balanced thing works BUT my questions are:
1.Can I use this balanced out with my current IEMs (somewhere I've read that connecting an unbalanced amp to a balanced Device it'll just fry the amplifier)
2.How
3. Does it benefit the sound at all with my setup
Sorry for bothering you and thanks to anyone helping me with my issue.
