you should be able to connect it just fine the only hiccup would be a polarity issue because the standard for balanced connections is not the same from brand to brand you may have to reverse the polarity to maintain proper polarity because they may be wired with different balanced polarities.
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:
