This combo should be very attractive for people with limited space on their desks of for those who travel a lot and use a laptop as their source. Should provide top sound, sure look forward to testing one.
Can you make any headphones or IEMs balanced by adding a terminal or only certain pairs. I have a pair of DBA-02 coming and was wondering if those are worth putting a balanced terminal on if possible.
Most IEMs and headphones with dual-entry cables can be balanced by simply reterminating with the appropriate adapter, in the case of the PB1, the Hirose male adapter. The correct balanced wiring schematic as been posted several times.

It es for me. I'm restricted to desk space in my dorm room; bringing as high of a quality setup with me to the library would be great. I've been thinking about the DAC from day 1 but I don't think my finances are ready; that and I don't really need it lol.
Again, using what I was going to sell, my HF2 balanced (which made all the difference), the sound just gets better and better. It appears to me that the PB1 really benefits from play time. The sound becomes more transparent and the highs gain more refinement. The bass, which started off as excellent, has more detail and control though I thought it was already fine. I look forward to using the balanced dac.

Good point. It looks like the Boomslang charges like the D10 with an AC adapter with a usb end. The PB1 uses a regular charge port. Therefore, the chargers are clearly different between the two.

yeah given the history of balanced connection deeply rooted in the recording studio, I would have much preferred a sheathed cable like in a black silicone tube.
..but at the same time, given the history of balanced audio around these woulds, I half expected iBasso to release a litz braided cable as well
I don't think he was questioning whether it could "power" it, I think he was asking whether or not it would be a good combo... I'd rather not speculate on things I haven't used yet though (the DAC in particular).
