I was wondering the same thing. I just got the HD58X and added the 2.5 balanced cable. I'd love to hear a song recommendation where I can hear the difference. I am listening to TIDAL HiFi and have the Fiiio BTR5 DAC/AMP with the 2.5 balanced jack. So far I haven't been able to tell the difference.
What cable or splitter would I need to get for the HD 6XX in order to utilize the 2 separate Left and Right balanced output jacks of my Scarlett 2i2? The balanced cable recommended here seems to only have a single jack plug, and Google isn't being very friendly.
The Left-Right balanced outputs on audio interfaces is for speakers called studio monitors. They're not for headphones even though they use the same size plug.
ElectronicVicesThank you so much for your answer. Do you think it’s worth me trying? Does it do more than simply add more volume from the balanced port because of access to more voltage?
As of now I get more than enough volume from the single ended port. However some people read more power translates to better bass and better soundstage and separation.
Doe this provide more power at lower volume and therefore better sound? I already listen to it loud enough I don’t want to damage my ears by simply turning up more volume and more power!
JustindthI've not used the SE output much with my HD650 on the ES100 so I can't say either way if it makes much of a difference. The stock SE cable length and connector aren't conducive to portable use. The length, stock aesthetic and ability to use with my various balanced sources was the draw for me as some of those perform noticeably better via the balanced out. Balanced operation has it's benefits but it's not something I think is necessary for every user, particularly in the portable arena.
