Invert right channel = stereo to mono balanced?

I want to use the headphone (stereo line out) of my digiface to send a balanced line to my re-amp box.
As far as I can make out.

Stereo
tip-left
ring-right
sleeve-ground

Balanced
tip-hot
ring-negative
sleeve-ground

So if I send the di track to a stereo bus and invert the phase of the right channel,
Will the headphone stereo out be essentially sending a mono balanced signal to the re-amp box?
Seems to make sense and it certainly sounds right (in theory and it does sound right through the amp)
Thanks in advance>

Someone on Gearslutz Geekslutz forum just confirmed this.
I was pretty sure it was right but wanted confirmation.
Should come in handy to anyone here who needs an extra balanced out.
Very handy for me because the stereo line out on my digiface was not being used and it's got high quality DA conversion.
