Hello, and happy holidays if you’re celebrating in the USA!
I’m in need of some insight. I just received my Penon audio 3.5mm balanced male to 4.4mm balanced female adapter to use on my 1am2 to the Cayin N3 DAP. I tested the headphones-adapter-N3 on three different devices and I also had a spare 1am2 balanced stock cable; I initially believed that my Penon adapter is faulty. There is sound playing in the left ear up and distorted sound coming from the right.
I wanted to double check and see if this was an error on my end: was I NOT supposed to buy the
3.5 mm balanced and instead purchased the apparently different
3.5mm audio adapter? All of the variations are listed on this page for purchase

Some months ago, I purchased that 3.5mm audio adapter and everything was fine until the wires tore. So, in need of a new one, I went back to order and realized they offered the 3.5mm balanced and thought it was a much better option.
I appreciate any discussion. Thank you!
