Why it Sounds Amazing
⚖️ Balanced Output
I often say balanced output is like using both hands to carry something heavy — it distributes power evenly and keeps things stable. In audio gear, balanced output helps reduce unwanted noise and interference, especially over longer cables. Think of it as a cleaner, more efficient way to transmit your music, ideal for anyone using high-end DACs, amps, or studio-grade headphones 🎧. You’ll typically find it on gear with XLR or 4.4mm connectors, and it's a must-have if you’re chasing that ultra-clean signal path.
Here’s what’s actually happening: a balanced output uses two separate signals, one inverted, so when interference is picked up along the cable, it gets cancelled out when the signals are recombined. The result? Cleaner audio, better dynamic range, and more power output — especially when paired with balanced headphones. The trade-off? You’ll need gear that supports balanced connections on both ends to really enjoy the benefits.
When you see '⚖️ Balanced Output' products, expect: ultra-low noise, more headroom, and better synergy with high-impedance headphones or sensitive IEMs — ideal for serious listening setups.
⚙️ DAC Chip
I like to say the DAC chip is the heart of any audio device — it’s the part that actually transforms digital files into music you can hear 🎧. Think of it like a chef decoding a recipe to create a delicious meal. The better the DAC chip, the more faithfully it translates your music. And in my experience, a great DAC can completely change how your headphones sound.
Now, here’s what’s actually happening: a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) takes digital signals (your MP3s, FLACs, or streams) and converts them into an analog waveform your ears can enjoy. Different DAC chips — like those from ESS, AKM, or Cirrus Logic — offer their own sound signatures, levels of clarity, and noise performance. A good DAC ensures accurate timing, minimal distortion, and exceptional resolution.
When you see '⚙️ DAC Chip' products, expect: clean, detailed audio and better synergy with high-quality headphones — perfect for anyone upgrading from average sound to audiophile quality.
🚀 Power Output
I like to think of power output in audio gear like engine horsepower, it determines how much muscle your setup really has 💪. Whether you’re trying to drive a pair of power-hungry planar headphones or just want headroom for dynamic peaks, power output is the spec you want to check first.
Technically, it refers to the amount of electrical power (measured in mW or Watts) an amp or DAC/Amp combo can deliver to your headphones. More power means better control, improved dynamics, and the ability to handle demanding gear without distortion. But more isn’t always better, too much power with sensitive IEMs can introduce hiss or harshness.
When you see '🚀 Power Output' products, expect: strong driving capability, better dynamics, and optimal performance with headphones that need serious juice to shine.
Headphone Zone and ddHiFi Collaborate to Create the Fully Balanced Hi-Res DAC Pro
Headphone Zone has already had a very successful collaboration with ddHiFi when it launched the first Hi-Resolution 📱 USB dongle DAC, specifically created for the audiophiles of India. The Hi-Res DAC, was a runaway success with thousands of audiophiles in India starting their journey with an affordable DAC & Amp. Our goal for it’s successor was to once again create an affordable DAC & Amp but one that took a beginners audiophile journey to the next level. Presenting the Headphone Zone X ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC Pro featuring a fully Balanced DAC & Amp and a 4.4mm Balanced output. This is now the most affordable way to upgrade your audiophile sound taking advantage of a ⚖️ 4.4mm balanced output. When paired along with a 4.4mm balanced cable, it elevates your sound brining out the very best potential of your Headphones.
Turn Your Smartphone into a Fully Balanced Hi-Res Audio Player
Most smartphones come with an in-built DAC & Amp that either sound terrible or are simply not capable of playing high resolution music. The Headphone Zone X ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC Pro is a simple plug-and-play device that transforms any smartphone into a high resolution audio player, bypassing the in-built DAC & Amp. But this isn’t any ordinary DAC & Amp. This is a Fully Balanced 4.4mm DAC & Amp that allows you to pair with any Headphone featuring a 4.4mm balanced cable - uplifting your audio to the next level. For smartphones with a USB C output, the device works straight out of the box. For iPhones with a lightning port, a Type-C to lightning adaptor would be needed, like the Hidizs LT-03. For most beginner audiophiles starting out their journey, this is now the easiest way for you to start listening to resolution music, but specifically with a 4.4mm balanced audio output.
The OG Headphone Zone X ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC was such massive hit. We had to make a successor - we decided to go fully balanced. You have to hear it to experience the difference a balanced output with a balanced cable can make to your headphones.

Pair your IEMs with these Balanced Cables
TO BE RESTOCKED BY December
Balanced Cables Need a Balanced DAC & Amp
And Every Good IEM Deserves A Balanced Setup
What difference can a Balanced Cable and a Balanced DAC & Amp make to the sound of your IEMs? Well, it's hard to make a general statement. But here are something's you should know.
Using a Balanced DAC & Amp means using 2 amplifiers doing the job of one. So each channel, Left and Right gets it's own amplifier. So the first thing you should notice, is your IEMs get double the amount of power. What's more, the use of Balanced cables also lower the noise floor on any headphone, and therefore improves the dynamic range, helping you hear softer details on any track. They also notably eliminates cross-talk between the left and right channel, something that can make subtle improvements to the soundstage.
Different Headphones and IEMs respond slightly differently to upgrading the chain to balanced DAC & Amp and balanced cables. But as a general rule of thumb, you should hear a more controlled sound, sharper responses, tighter bass, and a wider soundstage.
Type-C Termination
Headphone Zone X ddHiFi Hi-Res DAC Pro features a 📱 Type-C termination that allows you to connect with various devices with a Type-C interface.
4.4mm Balanced Output
