"What you've shown is a passive balanced output. This still requires a differential input to be meaningful."
You are absolutely 100% incorrect. Transformers reject noise on their own. Also, what if we have a push-pull input stage on the amplifier? You're missing the point: Balanced/unbalanced connections can function independently from the circuitry that follows them.
"In other words, the only way to to reject noise is to have a differential input."
No, you can use a transformer.
"Of course, I'd imagine the differential input could be accomplished using a transformer in place of an active differential amplifier."
This is sort of like saying that you could make a cup of coffee with the pacific ocean. The transformer doesn't make a differential input, it makes an isolated balanced input.
