Which headphone is that? Never heard of one with 2 x 3.5 TRS balanced connection. Usually I would expect a simple TRS 3.5 female to TRS 6.3 male adapter to be all you need - 2 of them...

Sony MDR Z7
It has two stock cables: one unbalanced ending with a 3.5 and another balanced ending with two of them

Understand. That is for an older Sony portable player that had two such sockets for balanced.

Yes true. I had Sony PHA3 with that feature.

But coming back to ADI2 pro, just arrived and.....
Avesome sound ! Huge versatility !

Even if, for now, I' m not able to display the sub menu "Loudness" and/or "Bass/Treble".
I believed to find a main menu referring to an headphone balanced mode, inside of wich
to activate it.

According to the manual there is Main menu 1/2 that displays submenu "Loudness" and "Bass/Treble".
(But I'm not able to display the afore mentioned submenu). Submenu always displays "Settings"

My bad ?

Yes smile

Make sure the cursor is on 'Settings' by pressing encoder 1 or 2, then turn encoder 2.
