There are mods the thing can take to supposedly improve performance, even the volume pot. I have a modded one and it's consistent.
Unknown consequences is key here. I don't know how it would effect the LP but I do know with other gear you run the risk of damage by tying the L and R - together on the balanced output. Not sure I'd be willing to risk it, but others here may know better.
I'd just invest in some balanced cables that don't short the signal. There are headphone amps that you can use these adaptors with, however, I would not chance it with the Liquid Platinum. Had mine for about a month now and really like it. Kind of impressive given that I have been comparing the LP to a DNA Starlett that I have been demoing, which is a terrific headphone amp that costs $2000. The Starlett is the better amp, however, costs 5 times more than I paid for the LP.
IMHO, the Starlett is worth the difference in price, however, the LP does surprisingly well at its price of $700 and really is a bargain at $400.
