Are the XLR outputs of OPPO BDP-105 true balanced?


Does anyone know if the XLR outputs on the 105 are true balanced or just converted to xlr?

Unless there are signal transformers in there, it is not truly balanced. It is a Solid State emulation of balanced. The only way to get truly balanced is to use transformers.

There is one aspect of balanced tht cannot be achieved with SS, and that is the plus and minus signals must be exactly the same amplitude at all levels. Also , no DC offset is allowed. Neither of these is practicallypossible with SS.
