Guys, can someone compare Sig Pro to HE500?
I trade my Hifiminan and want to get these for brighter, more transparent, agressive sound and forvarded mids. Am I doing right?

what?
 
BTW, I'm selling my sig pro, but I might withdraw it. I really enjoy it out of Sony ZX2.

Signature Pro with the QLS MOD360 is a match made in heaven.

Guys, is it possible to make balanced cable with 2,5 mm connection for Sig Pro?

Yes it is technically possible, but its a much bigger deal than just changing a cable.

You'd either need to drill into both cups and run a new wire into both cups 
 
OR
 
Drill out the existing connector and route all the wiring through the left side. 
 
 
If you haven't done this many times I'd strongly discourage you trying this yourself. Unfortunately getting someone to do the work for you will be pretty expensive as well. 
 
 
Does you DAP not have a 3.5mm output?

I'm thinking of buying an upcoming Opus 3. And all that hype about balanced out, which sounds better than SE...

Ok, thanks. Think, it's better not try to kill my cans. Will use them as is.

I find it funny that this thread is still going strong after 6 years with a title like "ULTRASONE NEW ANNOUNCED HEADPHONE"

It's probably for the best. I would also say the Signature Pro are growing to be less relevant as a headphone as other headphone manufacturers have entered the closed headphone domain. 
 
I would get a balanced cable for any earphones you have and then compare to see how much of a difference you hear between the outputs.

I had my Signature Pro's modified for a balanced cable by Moon Audio.

With the Ayre Codex, there is a significant increase in sound quality when operating in balanced mode.

Before having them modified I took my Sig Pros to a dealer in San Francisco and compared them against all the newer (and in many cases more expensive) closed and balanced cans--since I figured I could just buy new balanced cans and sell the Sig Pros.

I preferrred the Sig Pros to anything I auditioned them against (although some of this may have come down to familiarity with the Sig Pro's sonic signature).

My main option to buy Lotoo Paw Gold, if Opus 3 will not recive positive feetback. Lotoo have no balanced out, so no problem

It sure is, see this post http://www.head-fi.org/t/570388/ultrasone-new-announced-headphone-signature-pro/2295#post_12418762 
 
I have produced several cables which I can change, including a couple of different balanced cables.
