Someday ah Someday. But until then...The Ether-C's with DUM cable sound excellent through my MacBook>Amarra>BiFrost Multibit>microZOTL2. Or Balanced into my Master 11. When I first got the Ether-C they had all the soundstage of a sideways pancake and no bass. I have used a Pono and a Mojo to burn them in with everything under the sun including a lot of deadmau5. He seems to have every frequency on the planet and tons of bass and lower mids. It's working. 60 of 200 hours in these now seem to be the headphone everyone describes. Lord only knows what a fully broken in set on your raggy-yiggy would sound like.
Hmmm you know you want to, just pull the trigger on the Yggdrasil and Ragnarock. Your headphones and ears will be very pleased if give in and order this fantastic schiit combo .
I'd love to hear feedback on this too. I was initially very interested in the QP1R until I realized I wouldn't be able to use Spotify Premium or Tidal. Wondering how the DPX1 would compare to the QP1R or my current portable solution (iPhone and HA-2)

I hope your Ethers sound great with that MicroZotl 2. That is my next purchase along with HD800 S cans to have a bit of ying and yang. I am planing to use my SE DUM cable with them.
Why don't you go to Jango internet radio on that Macbook and play Trance, House and other EDM through the Ether Cs for a week to a week and a half. That's what I did to break mine in.
I'm kinda in the same boat as you right now. Have the 3.5mm DUM, but need a balanced. Also have a HD800 and an LCD-X, but they all have different cable connections. *sigh*
I've got a standard 3.5mm cable that came with my C's and thought about re-terminating it, but I did comparisons with the DUM cable and it noticeable sounded better to me.

I have balanced cables for all my headphones and then use a set of adapters for SE, Pono, Mojo, etc. If you want to stick to one cable that works with every headphone, I believe, Norne Audio, Moon Audio, sell adapters you put on the headphone sockets. Someone else join in. Do not plug SE into a Balanced output! There is no adapter for that. Amps blow up doing that. Don't do that.
You can use a balanced cable with a single ended amp using a balanced to single ended adapter but you cannot use a single ended cable with a balanced amplifier. There is no adapter for that. You will burn the amplifier.
I would either reterminate your cable to balanced or get a balanced cable and also get an adapter to be able to use it with a single ended amp.
