[QUOTE="gavinbirss, post: 942113, member: 60"] Regarding the requirement of balanced output. Some DAC's are not truly balanced and generate the balanced output via opamps, so if your pre or power can do either the same or is transformer coupled there is very little benefit other than being able to run a balanced cable. So in some cases a DAC with unbalanced outputs may be just as good, like the Soekris DAC1321. In the case of the Soekris 3dB of signal to noise is gained by the true balanced outputs. [/QUOTE]
