Does seem odd doesn't it. I've just been looking at the Bryston 4B ST specs and the balanced output is 6db higher than the unbalanced... however the input sensitivity varies between the two types too... if I guess right (which I probably haven't) this negates the gain. The figures can be seen in this post: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=198014&postcount=38 MC
