Is there a 4.4mm female to male xlr 4pin balance?

4.4mm female jacks are now available (there is one made by Nobunaga and apparently is entirely Made in Japan), shouldn't be a problem to get one made or just buy the parts and bash one together yourself.

There's definitely quite a few around. Here is what I borrowed from Brise Audio last year for my Utopia & Susvara comparison :-

Barely started burning in the 1Z, but very impressed so far through the balanced output! Sounds like I might be in the minority regarding the degree of difference between the jacks, but the balanced is significantly better than single ended in regard to staging and detail. Single ended sounds almost like it is playing in mono. IMO.

What case is that, I have a clear case but yours looks good?

Right! Dignis, and the quality and fit is quite good IMO.
I have the same on my WM1A.It is high qualty and helps to protect the dap. Mine survived some drops already...

and it imroves grip, in the case of mine, the special edition walkman case, has a bit of friction so it sits secure in the desk without sliding away

I just hope I never drop this thing on my foot! It is one heavy DAP, but I do appreciate its build quality.
