I've got a dac with a balanced 2.5mm output. It's very hard to located a cable for it that outputs dual xlr.
I'd like put together a cable for it, just need to figure out how it's wired up?

Tip = pin2. Ring = pin3 and sleeve = pin1
Tip or pin2 is signal hot.
Ring or pin3 is cold.
Sleeve or shield is pin1 ground.

TRRS has a control port on the 2nd ring which is ignored in the case of pure signal. Just like the Sony portable CD player with volume control on the headphone lead.
I've got a Sabaj Da3, pretty neat little dac.

Why does a balanced signal not require a ground reference?
An ideal balanced audio receiver is a differential amplifier. It works by measuring the difference between its two inputs, and calling that difference the signal. "Ground" is totally irrelevant.
A ground connection is not necessary for a balanced signal though a screen can reduce interference from external signals as well as radiated interference to other signals. If a screen is present it is often connected at one end only to eliminate ground loops.

Balanced output diagrams for Sabaj da3
Would like to DIY a 2.5mm jack TRRS to double XLR cable for my Sabaj Da3 on the balanced output.
No information in the package of the DAC, nor on the website.
Not quite sure about the output diagram pinout.
Are all the chi-fi the same? Fiio, Sabaj...?
Is someone here, who knows the diagram of the balanced output???
from Tip to r1,r2,S:
R-R+L+L-
or
L+R+L-R-
Thank you.

I have just spotted your post saebasan. Better late than never!
The diagram in post #11 would support your first suggested sequence.
I would assume that this is the standard sequence.
