Hi

I do not have the package, got them from another CDM user who bought like 5 or 6 pairs.
They are the blue label, if I'm not wrong they are still on sale on eBay for 18.90$

Thank a lot! Ordered.

Thank a lot! Ordered.

Hope you’ll enjoy them. For me they sound the best from what I’ve got.

Can the CDM do 3.5mm input single ended and then be heard through the balanced 2.5mm output? Maybe a phase splitter inside?

Thanks

Yes it can, that's how I use mine as I connect a poly/mojo combo to the CDM via the 3.5mm input and listen from the balanced output.

Thanks, do you know what the advantages of going fully balanced input would add?

Probably most advantage is channel separation and thereby more wide soundstage.

In addition to channel separation I believe the Continental outputs more power with the balanced output. This could make a difference if you're using harder to drive headphones.

Edit: These are the output specs from the manual

Specifications:
Single Ended: 80mW into 32 ohms, 95mW into 50 ohms, 75mW into 150 ohms, 60mW into 300 ohms
Balanced: 125mW into 32 ohms, 145mW into 50 ohms, 110mW into 150 ohms, 95mW into 300 ohms

I have answered regarding balanced input as per the question.

I have a question for those of you using the 2.5mm balanced input: do you still get audio out of the 3.5mm SE output?
