Hello everyone! Can I use my sony xba-a3 with 4.4 mm cable with this if I get an adapter? Thanks in advance. I thought it had 4.4 mm out, actually it is the gryphon which has it.
Hi. The xdsd has balanced (TRRS) output from the 3.5 mm jack. It also has ifi’s S-balanced output, which means you can plug a single ended (TRS) plug into it, and not burn out the duel monophonic amplifiers. In fact you’ll get nearly the same benefit from single ended as you would balanced. Sorry if you already know this. A balanced (TRRS) 3.5 mm to balanced (TRRS) 4.4 mm adapter will give you the full benefit of fully balanced power. Here’s one for around $11 dollars: https://www.amazon.com/Geekria-Balanced-Conversion-Aluminum-Yarn-Braided/dp/B081C2WZ17/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2SNXA597LREVI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.eufG7NAcoBKlQOG1aoj3VNPonIufdKe3rLKLea7lorveiaPZH3WgC8LLSebKdbG1V5Q2qNP9TlYmXB1xiuvG1Jv2wMVhfHN1uH_8vo_lCOkt2rcE6vjn6gfE-DrM035qHgiHp6ggafOHusVkTx88e8q-t-oR7QyZozIIGB0bXS_ZQ9L3IAAb-aJfs4abg8gIwgcuWigDbdvMpf7OHBM3hPEuK4p6zZgN9p8lN-C-nEo.J61rh2f4ibd6NYQQ8_9xifgqouOW3AA0KpZWMTAd4SU&dib_tag=se&keywords=Geekria3.5mm+(1/8'')+Stereo+Balanced+Male+to+4.4mm+Balanced+Female+Adapter&qid=1715030961&sprefix=geekria3.5mm+1/8''+stereo+balanced+male+to+4.4mm+balanced+female+adapter+,aps,313&sr=8-7 .
