Using The Pono As A Balanced Source For Home Stereo

If you're handy with a soldering iron the type of cord you need is available on eBay or Amazon starting at about 6 bucks each (you'll need two). Just do a search for "xlr cable to 3.5mm".
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO RE-SOLDER THE XLR CONNECTOR TO THE SPECIFICATIONS SHOWN ON TECHNICAL SHEET 2 ON THE PONO KNOWLEDGE SITE. THESE CORDS WILL NOT WORK ON THE PONO AS DELIVERED. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PONO (OR WORSE!!!).

Cheers 8!
So I take it there isn't an adapter for Pono's wonky output in balanced mode.
Sorry for being so dense (my high blood pressure medicine makes me a little confused) but do I just need to only re-solder the Pono 3.5mm end?

You will need to change the connections inside the xlr plug to conform to the specs on the Pono tech bulletin.

I think you should post this on the Pono forum and get their advice before you try it. I recall something about the risk of possible damage to the player, but I don't remember where I read it.
