Ayre CX-7- Better balanced or RCA?

I'm a very happy new owner of an Ayre CX-7 CD Unit, and I'm running single ended cables from the Ayre to my Sim P-5 Preamp currently.

Though I've read reviewer's opinions that this unit sounds better via the balanced outputs, I thought I'd seek opinions of my fellow Audiogoner's.

Thoughts?

I have to say yes balanced does sound superior although of course it is louder than RCA which can be misleading.

I wouldn't hesitate but try a cheap pair of XLR's if your preamp allows them.
