So, it can work fine if the adapter is correctly wired and take the unbalanced option from the Pentaconn?It depends on how the adapter is wired.
When an adapter goes from 4.4mm to 2xRCA then it is very likely the adapter cable uses the unbalanced 'option' which is possible with Pentaconn connectors.
When it uses the balanced outputs of the Pentaconn and you connect the output to separate active speakers that are not connected via a 3-pin mains plug then most likely that will work fine too.
I can't see inside the adapter nor measure it so would have to guess as to what it does. Adds sometimes state untruths.
I think if I should look for a reliable brand so it would work like the paper specs.
