I am a bit confused.
I am planning on purchasing a Traynor YCS50. For silent night-time playing and recording I would love to just hook it up to the computer/headphones. But it doesn;t have a headphone jack.
One of its features is that it has a "XLR Balanced D.I. Line Out Jack" (as stated in the manual). As I see it, it is both balanced and it is a D.I.
So, theoretically, can't I just use an xlr-1/8 cable adapter?
I called Traynor, and the representative said that my reasoning was sound, but that he had to be "politically correct" (nothing really political here!) and recommend that I use an audio interface. But, wouldn't that be redundant?
As a side note, I have a Rocksmith Real Tone Cable that works as a (1/4-usb) DI. I also have a Zoom g3 that can serve as an audio interface.
But I would really like to somehow take advantage of this XLR out to go as straight to my headphones as possible without plugging in various other things.
So people with good technical knowledge, please chime in!
