Balanced Connections on the AA Capitole MKII CDP

Has anybody compared the single ended vs balanced outputs on this player? How are the balanced outs implemented on this player? Thanks for your help.

They always ask how you want it wired for your application. Read older thread here about the Capitol Mark 1 is wired with pin #2 as hot. Emailed globe audio the importer to confirm this as fact never received a reply. my Interconnects wired with pan #2 hot on the sending end only is working fine with my Rowland amplifier currently?

My capitole mk2 works fine with a standard XLR to XLR Cardas cable connected to a krell KRC3 preamp. But when I connect it directly to my power amps using my usual mixed XLR/Cinch cable I only get a "psshhhhh..." and , well... nothing else. Well the same cable works perfectly between krc3 preamp and the power amplifiers. So something must be peculiar with the capitole XLR output.
