I thought the same thing about balanced output, until I tried the Calyx M...
This has me chortling with laughter lolI'm sorry to repeat, but the DX220 is in another level, it's impossible to compare the Sony ZX300 and the DX220.
I get a very stunning audio quality with the 4.4mm cable. Since the AMP8 is only balanced amp, I use the IE800S with a permanent cable 4.4mm.
When I want to hear something on my laptop, then I use the "4.4mm to 3.5mm single ended" converter by FiiO (LL 4.4).
For me there is no sense anymore to use the single ended, really.
I see, thanks for details.I'm sorry to repeat, but the DX220 is in another level, it's impossible to compare the Sony ZX300 and the DX220.

Anyone had some problems with their cables already? From the Y-Split up to the earpiece?
Just asking to see if there are long term concerns with cables. Wow, you mean you had yours converted? Do you have any pictures on how they look after the mod?i didn’t have problems with the cable but if you need repairs, I sent mine to Vesper Audio for mmcx conversion and couldn’t be happier with the results.
Am using IE800 s with a RME ADI-2dac. Am wondering has anyone EQd the 800s IEMs? Asking cause have found a online eq setting for my HD650 phones that has made a huge difference in the phones, but terrible on the iem.
The IE 800 was a favorite of mine, but ultimately, I had trouble with the tips coming off too easily every time I took them out of my ears and ended up giving it to my son. Does the 800S use the same method to attach the stock silicone tips? For those that owned the IE 800 and bought the 800S, is the tonal character the same, or has it been changed?
Thanks for any input ...
I had the IE800 and currently have the IE800S.
The design is exactly the same, just cosmetic changes. So to answer your question, yes, the tips have the same method of attachment.
Tonal character is the same. The S is just a frequency response adjustment - chills out the sub-bass and treble peak. The mids are slightly more forward.
