[QUOTE="croak, post: 92453, member: 361"] The only thing to add to this is that some equipment is designed "differential" or balanced circuits from input to output, in such cases running single ended RCA involves conversion/sub optimal connection of the gear. IMO this is the reason some gear is better sounding in balanced mode. Many high end DACs/CD players use two dac chips in differential mode to reduce the noise floor, connecting these balanced bypasses the summing amplifier stage used for the RCA outputs. This mostly applies to the likes of Wadia, Theta, Levinson, Proceed, Krell, Electrocompaniet etc. [/QUOTE]
