CESS-257 Black 4.4mm to Dual XLR Male Balanced Audio Headphone Adapter Cable

Works perfectly. The stereo works.

Lo uso para conectar ZEN DAC V2 al subwoofer Presonus T8, el cual tenía conectado por RCA, y al hacer el cambio por salida balanceada del ZEN DAC la mejora en calidad de sonido fue notable.

Although it may have been defect in particular cable I got, the problem is that the 4.4mm pentaconn jack didn't "click" into place like normally happens. on inspection against a working 4.4mm pentaconn jack, I note that the jack itself is on the CESS-257 is shorter than the reference jack. It turns out the black plastic handle on the jack extends over the plug by about 2-3mm, which prevents the jack from going into the phone plug all the way until the spring on the tip clicks. Although I could trim back the plastic, I shouldn't have to, so I decided to return it instead.The cable itself is well constructed and well built. But with no "click" on the Pentaconn jack, it is easy for it to become loose -- and when that happens, it injects hum and/or signal imbalance, the opposite reason for my use of a balanced audio connection in the first place.
