So, I've been thinking about recabling my DT770s (80 Ohm) with a removable cable. I'm thinking about going mini XLR on the cup side and I have a question.
I've seen pictures of the inside of the cups, so I know about the 3 (impossibly thin) wires connecting to the left cup, which I'm sure I could replace with small segments of whatever wire I choose to use (I will have to replace the wires to the right cup if I choose to use silver (if anyone has done this, how does silver wire affect the sound on the 770s?)).
Part 1 of my question:
One of these wires is left and one is shield (ground?). The other (center wire) is right?
Part 2:
Assuming I'm not going to prepare these for balanced output (should I? Is there a benefit?), does it matter which pin I solder what wire to? Assuming, of course, that I repeat the same wiring scheme on the other (female) connector?
