So does this effectively turn unbalanced inputs to true balanced outputs? Or is it just a normal passthrough to a different connector?

I couldn't tell you without looking at the schematics, but amps do not need to have a balanced signal in order to output a differential, balanced signal ("true" balanced if you will). So yes, this amp takes an unbalanced signal and could turn it into a balanced one.

dcha12Thanks for the explanation. At this price point I'd certainly expect that's what it's doing if it's possible!

legaceezIt's very possible. Much cheaper amps achieve a balanced output by using opamps. Heck, some amps like the Bryston BHA-1 actually will convert your balanced inputs into unbalanced first.

Drop please explain how this is a premium balanced headphone amp with no balanced inputs!?

Because an amp doesn't require balanced inputs to give a fully differential balanced output (look it up if you don't believe me; this is indeed possible without "cheating" and using opamps).
