Hello all--
First-time poster, long-time lurker. Am hoping I can get some advice. I have a pair of Audeze LCD-2 classics and I just upgraded the cable from 1/4" to balanced. I also just ordered a Schiit Magnius because my current amp only offers a single-ended output.
My question is whether I will not be enjoying the full benefit of these upgrades because my DAC--SMSL Sanskrit 10th MK II--does not offer balanced outputs? As a side note, I also ordered a Nobsound Little Bear MC3 (link) so I can switch between my headphone and speaker amplifier (I intend to connect the SMSL DAC to this switch via RCA, then connect the switch to the Magnius via XLR).
I am open to ordering a Modius but wanted to get some advice as to whether that was necessary given this set-up. All thoughts much appreciated.
