What about balanced to balanced? My HD600 cables has a 2.5mm connector. Can I add 4.4mm adapter to it and connect into a balanced amp?

Awesome. Do you know if running a balanced 2.5mm-4.4mm will be of any issue? Or even 3.5mm to 4.4mm? I want to buy the Balanced variant and get its benefits, while also having the possibility to use my current gear with 2.5mm and 3.5mm cables.

Moondrop Dawn looks interesting. Anybody know if it performs well?

Are all CS43131 created equal? This JCALLY JM20 is pretty affordable...

Already unavailable again... Strangely enough, I got this response from them, when I emailed them about availability, right before I saw that it was in stock:

In that case, I'll just order one on Amazon. I see it's back up, for $40. Worth it at that performance in such a small package. https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-3-5mm-Audio-Adapter-Headphone/dp/B08NVRV6G9

Am I reading the charts right? It shows about 90mw at 32ohms, whereas UGREEN themselves officially rate it at 31mw at 32ohms.

I've imported the US version. It's still not as loud as I want it on my HD600 and R70X (the latter after EQing it), when plugged into a PC.

It's a bit too big unfortunately, and also $100+. At that point, I might as well get the 9038D or Quidelex 5K for the same price.

Any way to make it so I control the volume through software only?

I love using my Apple dongle as a DAC/Amp, but the problem is that it's barely able to drive my HD600 (still a bit less than what I want), and it's also more or less unusable on Android devices. Does anybody know of a good dongle-sized alternative to it that can drive output a bit more power...
