You're absolutely right. I have the manual open and it clearly references "Balance 3.5pro." I have no idea what that is.That's why I was scratching my head -- but I've seen multiple places with pictures clearing showing balanced on that 3.5mm output and spec it as 3.5mm balanced, including Shenzen Audio:
I don't have any 4.4mm pentacon cables, and definitely don't have "Balance 3.5 pro," whatever that is. I only used the 4-pin balanced output.
Truly weird. Maybe there's a parallel universe where a 3.5mm single ended cable can carry a balanced signal w/o blowing up the amp or headphone?
