Probably a very noob question...
For my HD650 I would like to get a balanced cable to use the 2.5mm balanced output on my Qudelix 5K.

Can I use this 2.5mm balanced to 3.5mm unbalanced adapter to use the same balanced cable when listening to YT videos on the laptop?
Or for my upcoming used RME ADI-2 DAC that only has unbalanced headphone outputs?

Edit - I just became aware that the RME ADI-2 has a 6.3mm port.
So I would need a second adapter from 2.5mm to 6.3mm...
Something like this one, probably.

Yes you can. Should be no problem
 
If you just want a cable for it, just a little more:
I've bought them in the past and they're soft and non microphonic. Out of 10 or so, never had a failure and sound is the same as stock.
