{{WarningBox|Due to hardware problems, Hifiberry has recently changed (September 2019) the specification of the DAC+ADC. It seems that the Balanced Audio input doesn't work like expected and it works like a simple not-Balanced input.

So, for taking profit of the stereo connector that should be a mono balanced input but it's not balanced at all, you better get a stereo unbalanced input by connecting both audio channels to the connector. The problem is that the 3 wires Dupont connector included in official kit doesn't allow to do it easily. You have to cut the second wire (red or white) and solder a single Dupont connector, connecting it to the pin 5 on the Hifiberry. Please, check the [https://www.hifiberry.com/docs/data-sheets/datasheet-dac-adc/ Hifiberry DAC+ADC specification]}}

In such a way, you have the balanced input connected to the Right channel. If you want to use the Left channel, please, take a look to the [https://www.hifiberry.com/docs/data-sheets/datasheet-dac-adc-pro Hifiberry DAC+ADC PRO specification].
