Are all SU-8s for sale on Amazon or Aliexpress guaranteed to be the V2?
i recommend getting d50s instead unless you really want the balanced out.Are all SU-8s for sale on Amazon or Aliexpress guaranteed to be the V2?
I will be needing balanced XLR output for my eventual 789 shipping out in November. However, I am definitely considering the D50s, Khadas Tone board or the upcoming DX7 Pro for my in-the-mail JDS Labs Atom.i recommend getting d50s instead unless you really want the balanced out.
789 is single ended internally. It converts balanced signal to single ended first then convert to balanced again for headphone output. So you don't really need balanced output from dac. Just get a better dac which d50s is.I will be needing balanced XLR output for my eventual 789 shipping out in November.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. Doesn't a DAC require 2 chips to be truly balanced? Dual mono? I just started this hobby and have limited understanding as to the components of a DAC..
If I were to do that, can I use just any old RCA splitter for both AMPs?789 is single ended internally. It converts balanced signal to single ended first then convert to balanced again for headphone output. So you don't really need balanced output from dac. Just get a better dac which d50s is.
Splitter is good enough.If I were to do that, can I use just any old RCA splitter for both AMPs?

It doesn't matter how the 789 works internally. Using balanced interconnects between the DAC and headphone amp can sharply reduce the probability of ground loops. That is why if you can, you want to use a DAC with balanced output. While people may not hear THD+N effects at -100 dB, they will hear ground loops when or if it happens.789 is single ended internally.

If you are getting the 789, then your (unbalanced) DAC can connect to the 789, and then use the RCA line out from the 789 to feed the Atom. No splitter even needed.
This is exactly how I had it set up in order to run both my 789 and STAX SRM-252S amp at the exact same time.
You're have lots of great stuff coming in eh

Wow. Thank you. This works regardless of the input of the DAC or only on RCA unbalanced input?
It is. Or the Grace Design reviewed here.So if I were interested in balanced output SU-8 V2 is the way to go?
I bought the original one from Douk Audio some time ago, it comes with an Alps 27 as well as the XLR connections from Neutrik.

Looks very handy. But how can it be fully balanced with RCA ? I don't get it.
