Hi All,
In a whim I bought the PB1 and DB1 combo and now I'm trying to match them with a pair of balanced headphones. I currently have DT 880 pro 250ohms loaned to a friend so trying to budget something out for myself.
The problem is - I've not owned balanced headphones before and the little bit I've read has me scratching my head. The output on PB1 looks like this:

But the balanced headphones that get I've seen floating around are terminating in 2 3-pin XLRs - iBasso looks to be accepting a single 6-pin XLR.
Also, I've a question on balancing headphones itself. Do the drivers need to be reconfigured or it a simple matter of replacing the cable, e.g. in HD 650 - do I just need to invest in a new cable or does it require switching the internal mechanics also?
Lastly, a cable, e.g. - blue dragon terminating in 1/4" - can it be modified to terminate into a single X-pin XLR cable or internally a cable terminating in 1/4" / 1/8" is very different than a balanced cable terminating with XLR outs..
Appreciate the help..
Thanks,
Nik
