I only have an ifi micro black label, and it is pretty impressive, however no balanced out. I purchased these over a year ago w blon combo in 3.5mm and another, so I have 2. Never opened, because I assumed it would not work, or correctly.. The description above implies or says it will improve anything u plug into. Can you use as a reg cable out of a non balanced out and more importantly does it improve quality or alter it incorrectly because it is a non balanced signal?
