I think Oppo specifies the voltage for balanced as twice that for single ended, so you might expect the level to be 6 dB higher. If all your other connections are XLR, then you might expect SE level to need boosting.
I've previously used balanced cables, but the speakers I use, KEF 107/2s, are designed to work with a KEF KUBE that is not balanced, so I switched to SE cables from LA Pro Audio that have connectors that seem unusually secure for SE cables. The noise floor remained inaudible within an inch of the drivers, so SE works fine in my setup.
