that adapter he's using in that pic is prob a 2.5 -> 4.4

Probably is

I still find that 3.5mm is just what works for me

but dont you want balnaced

```The intro to Sweet Dreams has heavy pan effects and quick bass beats that should bring out the main advantages of balanced lines. Unsurprisingly, the lack of crosstalk cleans up the presentation immensely and gives the impression of a wider soundstage. Bass notes are cleaner and smoother, but the response is identical between unbalanced and balanced. Note separation is also better.
