One thing to know with Schiit they build all their inputs and outputs to be live all the time. Running one out put does not cancelled the or turn the other out. Example you can run xlr out to xlr amp and run rca out to rca in on tape deck and both are live. Listen and record or listen from speakers and headphones if rca to headphone amp.
Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" !
I am confused about this term. I've been told it can refer to either a type of topology or simply a type of connection.
If this is true, can I connect a DAC (Aqua La Voce S2) with balanced XLR outputs to a headphone amp with balanced topology (Schiit Jotuheim 2) ?
Here are links to photos of back panels of both components:
