So is the what is the balanced Card using as an output? I've got 4pin XLRs atm on most of my headphones...
So balanced card uses 4 op amps but outs into a SE TRRS Jack... bad move I say on the part of Hifiman... the whole Idea I though of Balanced was a single amp for + L -L +R -R
an indivdual amp line for the positive and negative for each driver... going with 4 op amps then still using a SE jack kinda defeats the pourpose, I suppose it's a nice way to get more power into a SE design, but terminating with an actual balanced Connector, any of the 4 pin ALOs or the 6pin HiRose gives upholds the concept of balanced headphones, and results in even more power...
