Zephyr, Yes you do need one. The Clear one kit is all balanced signals, so you need to convert these both to go in & out of the PC system and possibly if you use an amplifier remotely without balanced inputs.
You can however 'cheat' sometimes and get away with acceptable results (I do it in one of our rooms and no-one has noticed). http://www.dplay.com/dv/balance/balance.html see section on Connecting Balanced... However, as an audiophile who runs a balanced home Hi-Fi system, I should be telling you not to do this; and I don't know how the different loading affects the Clear One unit on a long term basis.

Hi, Just wondering if we have XAP 400, do we still need to MatchMaker (such as MM100) to do the signal balancing? Thanks, Zephyr
