Hello again fellow listeners,
I have recently bought a Topping D3X Pro + DAC/Amp and am likely to keep it, however, I did notice that the Fiio K11 R2R that was also on my list sports a "4.4mm balanced out" If I was swayed into returning the Topping and getting the Fiio, I am wondering what to do about this 4.4mm output. Is there an advantage to balanced headphone outputs? I have a pair of Sennheiser HD650s.
I saw a discussion on here re interconnects and speakers but nothing about this. One youtuber ( seemingly not sponsored ) was strongly recommending using a balanced out with them and said it was a vast improvement. I am now very curious. I guess I'd need to swap out the cable for a balanced one but to what advantage? That is my question.
