I've never tried this, but the BTR5 is excellent either way.

I'm selling mine on ebay as I don't actually have headphones with a 2.5mm or 4.4 mm jack http://ebay.us/mW7HDw?cmpnId=5338273189

I have an adapter for 2.5mm to 3.5mm that I bought for this dac I just see small portable dacs like this as part adapter/part dac. It's kind of unweildy to add the adapter to the dac. I might buy 2.5mm cables at some point if i buy new iems but with the current work from home setting i have no need for this dac.

bookchinBro, I got my XLR to 2.5mm and XLR to 4.4mm both on eBay for $25 and $30 each. They are very well made cables (one uses pure silver wire and the other is silver plated copper) and work exceptionally well! Why the hell would you buy a 2.5mm balanced to 3.5mm unbalanced adapter?!?! That defeats the whole point of buying a balanced DAC in the first place!! If you want an unbalanced DAC, for the price of this one you could get a much better unbalanced one!

Not the best answer since I know nothing about this product... but I have a BTR50 and I love it. To my ears it sounds great, I can't tell the difference between USB connection (no hi-res streaming) and Bluetooth. With the flexibility of Bluetooth/wired/balanced-unbalanced along with a great DAC, for not much more money you get much more product.

toynI recently got the Meze 99 Noir headphones, also picked up the Meze balanced cable... the difference is huge, I'll never use them single-ended again. If anyone is considering the BTR50 (or any other device that offers balanced) - go all the way and do it balanced!
