Hi Komkrit,
 
So basically you made a balanced termination for Yuin phones and then used your DIY for a single ended amp?
 
Thanks

lescanadiens,
 
 
The main of my phones are single-end...only 4 phones are balanced.
 
All my balanced phones, I used them with balanced out of RSA SR-71B.
But they can't use with anothers single end amps or player that I have.
( LISA L3 , Alo Continental V.2 , HiFiMAN-801)
So, I connected them by my DIY mini balanced to 3.5mm. adapter.
