Interesting. Looking at the specs, the balanced output is 3Vrms vs 2Vrms for the RCA. This is considerably higher output. Could the "unbalanced sounds better" be a simple "louder sounds better" effect? tomjtx - or anyone else were your listening tests between xlr and rca level matched? -- barty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ barty's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10121 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37321 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
