I purchased a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable from ebay (I think). I also bought a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter from Alliexpress

Since Icarus doesn't have 4 pin 3.5 mm jack in balanced settings, these adapter will either not work or even damage your device. You can never connect Single ended terminated headphones into balanced output, no matter if you get fitting adapter. You need to reterminate cable or change cable.

There is one 4-pole 3.5mm cable with Icarus III, I just suspected whether it is for balanced connection..

Bina understands the issue. This is not just about adapting the size of plugs.

My Icarus 3 came with two cables. One was straight up 3.5mm; the other was balanced 2.5mm. But that one had a non-standard balance approach, which I gather was used in their proposed digital audio player and maybe a few other units in the wild. But I figured maybe there was a way to get this unit to be compatible with industry standard balanced outputs. Two of the DAP units I am looking at have balanced output so I thought it would be nice to use the Icarus 3 with proper cabling.

Do not reply to emails .
Wrote them in the mail and in Facebook . (kieran@trinityaudioengineering.com)
It is required to replace the wire or connectors in my PM 4
So in one of the headphones there is almost no thread for filters.
And headphones only 6 months. In general, there are no guarantees or support from the manufacturer. A pyramid was built and it collapsed. It's a pity .

The most difficult part is to verify the female port configuration. It makes sense to me that it should be L+/R+/L-/R-, so it works for both 3-pole and 4-pole cables.

Dave;

I know you are trying to be helpful but please note that the situation here is that Trinity used a non standard configuration. Please refrain from posting without absolutely knowing that you have this issue nailed. I am trying to solve an offbeat technical problem and guessing will not help.

Didn’t they say they be will moving to the U.S?
I hate to say it but it looks like another attempt to raise more money from innocent customers. This campaign looks like it was set up by Trinity including the new Phantom line. Such BS and a joke of a company.
P.S also, isn’t it a new vid my Bob and Trinity? I have never seen this om before.
