Balanced interconnects vs. Analog


My Oppo BDP 105 and Wyred4Sound SSi 500 have the balanced inputs/outputs. I use the traditional analog connections but wonder what others experiences are with the balanced connections. Before I dropped the $$ on the cables I thought I might seek out opinions.
Thanks!

Beernut....unless your components are differentially balanced (separate circuits for +, -), you will derive no benefit from balanced connections.  Many companies include XLR inputs and outputs on their units for bragging rights.....fake.
