I've played a lot with balanced and unbalanced ICs from my Oppo 105 (with tubed mods from ModWright) and have to say that balanced cables rule in this case. The balanced cables (running into balanced inputs on my Aesthetix Calypso linestage) increase the 105's output so that the volume level matches my other sources, and the connectors -- cheap Neutriks though they be -- lock into place and seem to me far more secure than even the best-sounding RCAs.Sonically, no difference that I can detect -- except, obviously, for the volume level.
BTW, I'm using only two of the three connections on the Neutriks, with nondescript wire soldered to the ground connector at one end but not connected on the other end, a trick I first read about here on AA (Jon Risch?). Needless to say, the ICs I'm using are DIY.
