Different XLR pinout is a feature, not a bug

Conventional headphones will NOT like being connected to these "direct drive" amps. Using the opposite sex connector keeps you from doing bad things to your other headphones.

Reasonable people disagree on how much difference cables make. I have to wonder how much difference a home-brew adapter makes; it adds two connectors and their associated impedance mismatches to the chain. But if it sounds "better" to you, then who am I to say? Enjoy!



Cerebrate!
