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?

CX-7 into Pass X1/X150. No significant diff.. Same cardas cable diff only in XLR/RCA. 1M run. Both Ayre & Pass claim improved performance in XLR. My ears may be broken but so be it.
