It really depends on your components. If they are all truly(!) balanced, then this is the way to go. Many, if not most amps with balanced inputs are not really balanced and they add a circuit to conform with the RCA input.
balanced outputs
Depending on who you talk to, balanced outputs are either the panacea to all ills or just another gimmick that adds 6 db to your output path.
Given that I have already spent a bunch on RCA interconnects, I guess i am biased towards single ended outputs. I am looking for an unbiased view. I was puzzled as to why two of the really high end preamps were devoid of balnced outputs, and also intrigued as to why other manufacturers like Krell now only offer balnced ouptuts exclusively.
