Nice review, Ohm-Image...very thorough!


Question:  do you use a single-ended cable on your FitEar and a TRS female to male TRRS balanced adapter to listen to the balanced output of the AK?  Saw an adapter listed in your review.


I have heard that we can use a balanced cable with adapter to single-ended but should not use a single-ended cable to balanced with adapter...and I ordered some adapters already.  :-00

M.S.T. Audio Technology built a balanced cable for my MH335DW for testing their tweaks to AK devices. It's a shoddy thing but it works. They also built a 4-pin TRRS to dual 3-pin XLR splitter for testing balanced signals. I haven't used the balanced, or SE cables via adapters to the AK devices.

^Ah, okay...thank you for replying.  I'll do more research before I plug anything in.  Again, thanks for a thorough review!
