I have some experience with the DIY.

This project looks quite easy and using cheap parts ( that is important, cause i am used to burn them a lot lol).

But do you think the Amp will perform better in balanced configuration.

I have HD650 and will use balanced source.

It probably would be, but parts matching is a lot more important with balanced.

Rather than building a balanced CKKIII, I'd look at building a single ended, M^3.

I guess i will finish with balanced m^3. I dunno why, but i got on this "balanced" buzz.

My source is apogee minidac. And i am looking for improvement over the integrated amp.

What kinda balanced M

I didnt check yet m^3.

Said this, cause the audio madnes is driving me only for more expensive solutions. And m^3 is more than ckIII
