Thanks in advance, Luka.

Can you clarify if you will be driving the headphones balanced? Or is the desire to do BAL/SE conversion?

I am not sure which way to drive them, my headphones have a stereo 6,3mm jack, is there a diagram showing how to wire them balanced without the conversion to SE?

Like wire them to XML connectors. Otherwise its best to stay single ended. If you are going single ended I would suggest using Ventus. Cheers! Russ
