Wiring Question

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

I need to make a cable for my PSB headphones that will have a mini TRS plug on one end and a stereo pair of female XLR connectors on the other (this is so I can connect to the XLR out jacks on my DAC and forego a dedicated headphone amp). I'm planning to use one cable per XLR and twist the pairs of wires in each cable to the connectors at each end. Is this the correct approach? Do I leave pin 3 on the XLRs unused? I've included a crude drawing to help illustrate what I'm doing. Sorry if this is an astoundingly stupid question, I've never tried anything like this before.
