I would be grateful if you did that. I only want to know which plug contact (tip ring1-2, sleeve) is used for L+, L- R+ and R-, to convert my diy cable to a balanced one.

You can just check with a multimeter and maybe post it here...

Guys, anybody using the 2.5mm balanced output, what type of wiring uses?
I came across this picture, and I want to build a custom cable. Which standard should I use, so that it is compatible with the zishan?
@ThanosD
Sleeve= Left -
Ring 2= Left +
Ring 1= Right +
Tip = Right -
It's like AK DAP in your picture

Thanks A LOT mate. So all these trn/kz balanced cables are using the AK standard.
So I guess, if I bridge L- and R-, I get the normal single-ended, and if I wire the 4 cores the way you pointed, I get balanced.

You're welcome
Yes, L-/R- combined is SE, but don't combine them on 2.5mm output, not sure what happens if you do that.

Yeah, I just want to convert my diy cable to balanced, and then make an balanced-to-single-ended adaptor, for when I want to use the cable with an unbalanced output.

The DSD uses a 2.5mm TRRS jack for Balanced output, and this drawing shows only one 2.5mm pin-out. That wiring is correct:
Sleeve = L-
Ring-2 = L+
Ring-1 = R+
Tip = R-

You short out, and probably damage, the op-amps that are driving the L- / R- pins.

There's no single reason which i can think of why two opamps, connecting both -channels together, and let +channels open, would damage. I rather could think of ak4497 problems connecting this way.
Anyway, the answer is obsolete because he wants to make an adapter from 2.5mm to 3.5mm so he can use his hp's SE ad Balanced as well.

What is going on with the site? Double postings?

The only safe way to do that, is to use sufficient series resistors, so that the output of the L- / R- op-amps are not shorted together.
The issue is this:
Both op-amps are capable of driving an output voltage swing of nearly the +/- power supply voltage (nominally +/- 15Vdc).
If the Left channel output signal is at +15Vdc, and the Right channel output signal is at -15Vdc - then there's 30Vdc difference between the two op-amp output pins, that you're shorting together.
Suppose there's ~1Ω of trace / wire resistance between the two output pins - then the op-amps would try to supply 30 Amps of current, which they can't do.

How could one of the negative channels reach a 15v positive level? And both negative outout pins are flowing
