Sorry for the late reply. Sakeishi has good end to end extension and really nice separation. I've only had a chance to test a couple IEMs with it so far.

I have ordered the Sakeishi for my Phantom CIEM and it is on the way. Can’t wait to listen to it. Thanks anyway!

A new entry level offering from Han Sound Audio. The ZENTOO is truly different than the original “Zen”!

I was wondering if there’s anyone that could help... I currently have a 4.4mm balanced cable, but occasionally I need to listen through my Mac for work, which is obviously 3.5mm and not balanced.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get a 4.4mm balanced female adapter that goes to 3.5mm or even Apple lightning?

thanks in advance!

if you are looking for quality cables, i would recommend Plussound, Triton Audio Cables and Music-Sanctuary.

Plussound is offering also a usb-c plug that works perfectly with the newer macs and ipad pro; music sanctuary used to offer a lighting connector, i don't see it anymore this option on their website, but if you contact Calvin, he might be able to help you. What i really love from Music Sanctuary is the possibility to use the PW 1960 wire, on of my favorite cable, not cheap but the overall quality is outstanding, you won't be disappointed.

David from Triton is always extremely helpful, he uses only high ends components and the built time is never more than a week and prices, a great asset for this community.

I have used 3 Triton Audio Cable pigtails that David made for me. I love them all.

Thanks guys... I suppose I was asking from more of a technical standpoint. I’m guessing it’s technically possible to do a 4.4mm balanced to 3.5mm unbalanced or lightning/usb-C?...

You can have an adapter that takes a 3.5mm unbalanced output from you dap/ amp and convert it to a balanced cable. But not the other way around.

 

[buonassi]

Yes.... Do not try and use a single ended cable from a balanced output. Something could fry.

However, you can use a single ended output feeding a balanced cable. All this does is retain single ended schema by combining both L and R negative poles of your balanced cable. Completely safe.

 

[robulation]

I understand single ended output can’t feed a balanced... and equally you can’t do balanced output using single ended.

with this in mind, can anyone point me in the direction of a female balanced 4.4mm to 3.5mm single ended adaptor?

I asked David of Trident Audio Cable to build a pigtail 4.4 female to male 3.5 SE as my choice of cable type to match my portable system.

The other way around.

Amp single ended output can feed a headphone with a balanced cable/plug.

Amp balanced output cannot feed a headphone with single ended cable/plug.

Yup. My bad. I meant input.

Thanks... I’ll check it out!

emailing him what do you want or get suggestion from David which I went that way and satisfied with my pigtails.
