does anyone have a cable to recommend to connect it in balanced with pentacon?

Although I don't have a cable to recommend, balanced headphone in with ZEN products is the one I'd use for sure. All our ZEN range is fully balanced, so it's only fair to exploit this via a suitable plug.

It looks like a balanced cable and has a 4.4mm on its amp end, so I imagine it would work. But since I haven't tried one myself, please don't take my word for it

would it work if i use rca - 4.4 line out to speakers?

As in, 4.4mm to RCA cable? Our 4.4mm is a balanced connection, RCAs are single-ended.

but there are sellers selling these cable configs

and also, if i plug in a headphone, will the rear line outs be muted?

balanced to single ended should not be sold, can cause issues for the device.. if it shorts the output, even break the ifi!
wel actually, if all other pins are left floating it could work, but you could get ground loops

That's correct and also the reason why we don't have an official statement whether any such products work or not.

ok, next question, dc5v, how may Amps can the dac take? based on ipower is 5v 2.5a, so do i buy a PS based on this spec?

Yes, the safest route would be to match your PSU's specs with those of iPowers used for our ZEN range.

so if i cant find a psu with 2.5a, will lesser amp or over (say 3A) work too?

is this spec correct to buy?i don't want to blow my zen just because of wrong polarity

Will the Truebass work on balanced/unbalanced lineout in the back or just headphones output only?

only hp out as far as i used, as truebass is not on the dac side but the amp

Anyone able to recommend me a good 4.4mm to dual-XLR adapter for my newly-arrived Zen Dac Blue? I'll be feeding it eventually into a Monoprice LC and would like a fully-balanced cable. Preferably wicked short.
