In Reply to: Balanced Versus Unbalanced posted by svisner on April 22, 2017 at 05:14:25:
I use balanced for a few of my connections. I cannot say it makes a lot of difference.
A true dual signal path is very rare. I would guess 98% if the equipment brandishing 'balanced; connections are internally single ended. And they just add an op amp at the output to mirror a signal for the second leg of the balanced connections.
As for how they handle the input?
Anyway, IMO the balanced connector is superior to RCA connectors from a mechanical standpoint.
From a sound quality.. IMO It is a tossup. One may be better in one situation, the other in another
(unless you have a long connection, then XLR balanced is better.
