Actually my intention was to 'see' the DAC's balanced ports. One cannot decide what kind of ports are fitted on that board by simply checking the photos provided on the page; the angle used for taking those photos is definitely wrong in regards to the 'ouptput' ports.

It's true that the Seller presents the output ports as 'Gold plated balance output' (their spelling) in the associated text but you may want to get precise information before comitting yourself.

Should the ports be 'balanced' your choice of audio cables seems to be correct. Good luck.

The board is still available at Amazon France.

The user manual with more pictures and technical details can be found here: https://www.inno-maker.com/wp-content/up...alV1.0.pdf

Couple observations based on their tech manual. 

- They are using the Allo Katana driver but the board has no microcontroller to interface the driver to the ESS chip and thus none of the ESS chip options will be available. 
- They require the bare Katana DT overlay option in moOde which means that Hardware volume control won't be available.
Enjoy the Music!
