Meridian 508.24: Balanced vs Single-ended outputs?


How does the single-ended output of the Meridian 508.24 CD player compare to it's balanced output?

The rest of my system is unbalanced, so would XLR/RCA adaptors negate any potential sonic advantage of the balanced outputs?

Thanks in advance!

I run my 508.24 into a Krell KCT with a 1 meter XLR Harmonic Technologies Pro Silway 2 cable. I previously used a Synergistic Alpha Sterling RCA IC but this sounds better. Now the "noise floor" is simply not there. Total quiet background.
