I was wondering if the XLR output specifically intended for the K1000 on amps such as the ASL MG OTL 32 DT or Woo Audio WA5 is any different from the XLR output of other balanced amps that are not marketed as being specifically dedicated for the K1000 (such as the NX-33) ? So with the HD650, would it provide the same the benefit as "going balanced" ?

There are a number of us using the 4pin xlr for balanced headphone setups.

I agree. To me it's a much more logical connection to use.

I much prefer the 4-pin layout. Heck of a lot less weight on the headphone cable!

Its nice!
Just 1 connector, never worry about which is left and right...

the 3-pins are there for those of us with spare connectors on the ends of our cables clinking around. The TRS's are wired for SE use: one direct, the other 120 ohms for beyers.

I don't see any issues with that, as long as you are careful with the volume control.
The 4-pin XLR connector is great.

It's a great connector to use. I've never seen the point in having two 3-pin XLR connectors for balanced.

If only Furutech had some 4-pin XLRs.
