So a balanced cable really is just the jack that's different? Nothing about the cable is *balanced*?

Balanced cable requires 4 wires all the way to the jack. Many normal cables only have 3 wires from the Y join and down to the plug

What happens if you stick a normal se cable into an adapter. So from 4.4 to a 3.5 reg

You may well short circuit the source damaging it

It is a fact that you would short out the Circuit, and there was one member who had tried it, he had unpleasant “hums”. Never ever do this

Thanks for the inputs, I will be looking for the Musashino online in JP.
I do not need anything fancy, it is not for music, just the odd time I want to play games without bothering my wife.

I sold LPG after I get Sony nwz x1061I liked more with se5ult and I dont understand all hype about LPG

I have figured out PMEQ and I can make LPG Diana sound like any DAP I want.

It is November, let us see when Sony releases the latest firmware and hope is with USB DAC

Lol, we are all waiting

One question that bothers me since long, is the Sony S-master dac/amp anything similar to the Chord FPGA?

No, completely different.

FPGA chips are electronically programmable (and sometimes even re-programmable), they are actually general purpose chips that can be programmed for any usages, in this case it's the Chord software which programs the chip to act as a DAC. S-Master on the other hand is completely fabricated by Sony - they design the entire chip's internal circuitry from the silicon level and is thus hard wired to be a single purpose chip.

Totally agreed, Sony design their own from the root core to technologies . Sony is the grand master behind this technology

With Chord I would believe they have the knowledge to design their own chip, as you need that know-how to program FPGA chips anyway. But it's probably not economically feasible for them to get them made with the quantity they produce. Unlike Sony which has their own chip fabrication facilities, and they share the same chip across a wide range of products from the A series all the way to the WM1Z.
