Freya+ SE and Balanced outputs to your amp


If you have a Freya+ have you run SE output cables to your amp and then tried Balanced output cables to your amp? Did it affect the sound, and if so how? I am currently running 10 ft. SE outs, and am considering trying Balanced cables, and they would also be 10 ft. Your input is welcome!

Worlds best with Mogami.  not sure you will hear much of a difference unless you suffer from noise pickup

Well there is a difference between true differentially balanced and simple balanced outputs. The Schiit is not a true balanced unit and may actually sound worse than the SE outs depending upon the design. I guess I am not absolutely certain about the Schiit but I would be very surprised if it were a true balanced preamp.

The Freya+ is balanced and uses "JFET differential amplifier compound pair with equalized-gm followers" according to the manufacturer.
