HD 560S can be run in balanced mode--please note that the cable we make to enable that terminates into 4.4mm instead of 1/4". The 4.4mm balanced connector has quickly become the most available option on DACs and headphone amplifiers that support balanced configurations.
@@sennheiser , is it possible to use the 1/4" screw-on adapter supplied with the HD 560S to connect to the balanced cable's 4.4mm end and from there to my DAC 1/4" output to run a fully balanced setup?
@@fortuneamaechi3877 That would not work--the balanced cable is balanced on both terminations, and thus, throughout the length of the cable. Each contact (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) is mated to a length of cable, which is then mated to a corresponding contact (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) on the opposite end, which corresponds with a series of contacts within the headphone. Removing or reassigning a contact point in this chain disables balanced configuration.
Do you have any copons for ie200?
Can the Sennheiser Hd560S be run balanced into a 1/4" headphone output from a balanced DAC output?
