I am considering how to improve my system for a modest cost. At present, I have no preamplifier. (I am using and amplifier with a volume control). A possible cost-effective solution might be the gremlin headphone amplifier. The problem I am attempting to overcome is the fact that the gremlin uses strictly balanced input and output. All my components use unbalanced cables.
I at present I'm unable to discern exactly what is needed to convert an unbalanced input into the gremlin and output an unbalanced output from the gremlin to the amplifier.
Would the following cable work for input:

Would the following cable work for output to the amplifier:

Thanks in advance for any comments.
